What Resource Solutions does
Resource Solutions Corp., operating as Recycle That Stuff, is a Wisconsin-based recycling services company founded in 1988 and headquartered in Madison. The firm collects, processes, and resells recyclable materials—primarily electronics (TVs, monitors, computers, appliances), scrap metals (copper, brass, aluminum, steel, stainless steel), batteries, and bulbs—through three physical sites in Madison, Appleton, and Columbus, and through a mobile program of community recycling events held across more than a dozen Wisconsin municipalities.
The company has no proprietary technology platform; operations are physical and service-based, relying on material handling equipment, weigh stations, processing capacity, and on-site weighing with immediate cash payment. Differentiation is primarily regulatory and operational: ISO 14001:2015 environmental management certification at both Madison and Appleton facilities, E-Cycle Wisconsin registration through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and 100+ years of combined industry experience cited by the firm.
Revenue is generated through four streams: (1) purchase of recyclable materials for resale into commodity markets (a spread-based, transaction-fee model), (2) per-item electronics recycling fees (e.g., $20–$60 per TV depending on size, $15–$35 per major appliance, with small electronics recycled free), (3) roll-off dumpster rental fees (15 and 20 cubic yard units) for construction, remodeling, and clean-up jobs, and (4) Certificates of Recycling documentation sold to commercial and government customers needing compliance evidence. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and event-driven, with drop-off available without appointment at the Madison and Appleton facilities and pickup services offered to businesses and high-volume individuals. Customer base spans individuals and homeowners, contractors and small-to-mid-market businesses, schools, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies across Wisconsin.

Resource Solutions competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Waste Management, Inc. Largest U.S. waste and recycling services company. Overlaps with Resource Solutions on recycling collection, dumpster rentals, and electronics take-back but operates nationally across many waste streams rather than focused on e-waste/scrap metals.
- Republic Services: Second largest U.S. waste and recycling hauler providing residential and commercial collection plus recycling and dumpster services. Broad incumbent with overlapping service lines but a portfolio rather than an e-waste specialty.
- Veolia North America: Global environmental services company providing waste management, recycling, and hazardous materials handling across North America. Operates in materials recovery and e-waste/electronics recycling at much larger scale.
Direct peers
- Cascade Asset Management: Madison, WI-based ITAD and electronics recycling company. Closest geographic and service-line peer; both operate electronics recycling, asset disposition, and Wisconsin pickup services for individuals and businesses.
- Radius Recycling (formerly Schnitzer Steel): One of North America's largest metal recyclers, purchasing and processing ferrous and non-ferrous metals from businesses and individuals. Comparable scrap metal purchase and resale model with broader scale and geographic reach.
- Sims Metal Management: Global metal recycling company operating scrap yards where generators bring copper, brass, aluminum, steel, and stainless steel for purchase and processing — directly comparable to Resource Solutions' metal recycling stream.
Emerging players
- ecoATM: Electronics recycling kiosk operator that buys back consumer devices for resale and recycling. Partial overlap with Resource Solutions' consumer electronics recycling stream, but focused on small device trade-ins via retail kiosks.
Regional players
- GreenSpark Electronics Recycling: Northeast U.S. electronics recycling and ITAD provider serving businesses, schools, and municipalities. Comparable e-waste services and event-style collection model, though operating primarily in New York rather than Wisconsin.
