Metal Manufacturing

We haven't figured out how to sell dumpsters online yet, since they are a little larger than the boxes UPS normally delivers!

Correctional Industries Metal Products has been in business for over 30 years, supplying metal dumpsters, containers, camp site lockers and many more products to the federal and state government, as well as commercial and residential customers throughout the United States. We specialize in Bear Resistant products, certified by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee, as this is a growing need throughout the United States and Canada. Our patented front end load Quick Release Lid System enables dumpster pickup with no driver interaction, saving time and money. Our main product line focuses on the waste disposal industry providing containers and dumpster's ranging from 32 gallons to 40 yard roll offs, but we are certainly not limited to these products. If it is made out of metal, we can build it. 

Please reach out to Dominic.Moschetti@state.co.us for a quote on metal products.

Why should I support your program by purchasing from your store?

Incarcerated adults that work in our programs all made mistakes that landed them in prison. Nearly 99% of them will re-enter society after they complete their sentence, and we believe they deserve a second chance at success when that time comes. Working in a Correctional Industries job gives structure to their day, helps them work on productive soft skills, and the money they earn helps them pay restitution and fines, and gives them the opportunity to save for when they are released. Working in a Correctional Industries job while incarcerated, and having money when they get out, are leading indicators for post-incarceration success. Purchasing our products helps us keep the businesses open and create more opportunities for meaningful employment. Learn some of our workers' stories at cci.colorado.gov

My agency used to purchase our office furniture from CCI. Why can't I find that on your site?

The market for office furniture has changed drastically over the last several years, especially since 2020, when almost all state agency customers began working remotely. Prior to March 2020, it was against state rules to work remotely. Now, the vast majority of state workers continue to work remotely, resulting in a 75% decline in office furniture revenue from our record year in 2019.

In 2022, due to these challenging market conditions, we made the difficult decision to close all of our office furniture related businesses. 

We have shifted our focus to creating sustainable, scalable employment opportunities for the incarcerated population. For your office furniture needs, please consult your purchasing department to find an approved vendor.
