CR&R Incorporated

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.

CR&R Incorporated is committed to improving the environment in which we all live in by providing efficient, effective and cutting edge solid waste and recycling services which not only reduce the impact on our world but also offer sustainable solutions to our most pressing environmental challenges. Our investment in cutting edge technology, aimed at reducing our carbon footprint, started over three decades ago by building what is today a world class recycling infrastructure. While others were investing in landfills to bury trash, we focused on materials processing centers which today help to move thousands of tons of recyclable materials per year. Our investment in Alternative Fuel Vehicles and Fueling Stations also helps to clean up the air throughout Southern California by allowing us to run clean burning natural gas vehicles. Our latest venture includes the construction of a state of the art Anaerobic Digester which will allow us to process organic waste from throughout the region and create a renewable natural gas to fuel our trucks. This will be the cleanest fuel available in California. CR&R Incorporated is dedicated to finding ways to help improve our world by investing in the future; a future we hope will be cleaner, greener and environmentally sustainable.

History

In 1963, Clifford Ronnenberg bought a small waste management company with big ideas for the future.He quickly realized that the collection and disposal of garbage was not only a necessary job, but an important responsibility he had in his community. This responsibility spurred Mr. Ronnenberg to try his hand at making a difference in his town through new and exciting environmental initiatives. Over the years, CR&R has researched, developed and introduced some of the most cutting edge technologies and services in the industry Ideas that are designed to make life easier, cleaner and safer for our communities while dramatically improving our ability to recycle and recover materials that were originally destined for the landfill.

Our leading-edge initiatives over the years include: opening what was to become the largest public recycling buy-back facility in Orange County; extending that concept to retail buyback outlets at grocery stores; introducing an innovative three-can curbside recycling program that revolutionized the ability to easily recycle at home — and then improving on that idea with material recovery technology that automatically separates recyclables from trash; developing and installing California’s first bio-filter to minimize odors from our solid waste recycling plant; converting our trash collecting fleet to clean-burning natural gas; opening a state-of-the-art materials recovery center that saves 1,000 tons of used construction materials from the landfill each day; and constructing what will soon be one of the largest and most technologically advanced Anaerobic Digester that will convert our Organic Waste Materials into the cleanest burning fuel in California,.We’re proud of our more than 50 years of innovation, impeccable service to our communities, and commitment to our environment. Even after five decades, we’re just getting started.

Recycling

Long before environmental awareness and government regulations made recycling a way of life in California, CR&R was pioneering methods for recycling waste. From unique curbside solutions to automated recycling machines in shopping centers to building one of the first modern material recovery facilities in Orange County. And the ideas keep coming. That’s because we make it our ongoing mission to continuously explore alternatives to landfill waste and other strains on our environment and natural resources. Long ago we made a promise to protect the communities we serve — and we aim to keep it.
