Our Story
Humble Beginnings
West Allis, Wisconsin, 1938: This is where it all started. While we’ve since expanded to three total locations with much larger square footage than our first digs, we pay homage to our early roots and remain humble in our day-to-day operations.
Building a Foundation
West Allis Salvage
Opened in 1938, West Allis Salvage started as a small metal scrap yard. Open to the public, this location served residential customers with door trade, such as certain types of recyclable metals.
The Waukesha Recycling Co.
In 1998, The Waukesha Recycling Company was opened as a second location for metals door trade and the ability to get serious about scrap paper. It did so well a 15,000 sq. ft. expansion was required in 2004.
