Sustainability
Starts With You
Our choices today impact all of our tomorrows.
Let us help you tailor a comprehensive recycling strategy for your facility or company. With over a century of combined team experience in the recycling and manufacturing industry, we have the tools to achieve results.
Our Past
We were founded by Charles Cougle as Cougle’s Waste Company in the 1940s when the focus was eliminating waste & promoting essential recycling and reuse for the national war efforts. After the war, he and his wife, Marjorie, continued to provide recycling for residents and industries.
Robert Cougle was born into the industry and learned hands-on business and strategies. He and his wife, Debra Cougle, took over in the 1980s to drive growth and business opportunities.
A devastating fire destroyed the growing business in 1992, leading the Cougle family to the current Hamburg location. Although the Hamburg building seemed vast and outside the previously defined service area, it was a blessing in disguise.
Our Present
We presently have two locations.
CRI is still family-owned and operated by the third generation.
Robert can still be found on site many days, but Matthew and Tiffany (Macaulay) use the hands-on experience, mentored by future generations, to drive the company’s future.
Your future?
