About Us
The face of a Greener Generation
CR&R was founded with the idea that collecting, processing and recycling waste materials was an important and essential community service. Today, this responsibility continues to evolve as CR&R re-invents itself in order to meet the demands of an ever-changing environmental movement. With the development of innovative recycling and reuse programs we strive to stay at the fore-front of technological advancements that will bring the highest degree of sustainability to our communities.
We understand that each community is unique and through our educational programs and community involvement we strive to help keep our customers informed with regard to our evolving environmental landscape. In addition to our community education and involvement, we are also committed to volunteering and giving back to our partner communities.
We encourage our employees to help with numerous worthy causes while spreading the message of reduce, reuse and recycle in order to leave less of an impact on our environment for generations to come. After all, we live here too and take pride in making a difference for our communities.
