CR&R Services


Since CR&R began in 1963, we have been dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and sustainable waste and recycling services. From the moment you sign up for our waste services to the delivery of those services, we strive to provide a hassle-free experience. At CR&R, we believe our job is not complete until all your waste has been collected.

We achieve this through a robust network of processing facilities that manage every aspect of your waste streams including landfilled materials, recyclables, green waste, food waste, construction and demolition waste, electronic waste, hazardous waste, and more. Our extensive collection and processing systems aim to minimize the potential environmental impacts from solid waste accumulation and to build a cleaner future that safeguards the environment and public health for our customers. CR&R is proud to serve the City of Lake Forest and be an active member of the community!
