What Nexus Recycling does

LOGIC NINE Software, operating as Nexus Recycling, is a Los Angeles-based private software vendor that has built a Windows desktop platform for scrap yards, metal recyclers, recycling facilities, landfills, auto-salvage operations, and eWaste processors. The product, in market since at least 2009, comprises 768,273 lines of handwritten C# code running on .NET Framework 4.8.1 (with migration to .NET Core 8 underway) backed by MySQL, supporting local LAN, cloud, and hybrid (CNVRG) deployments with full offline operation. Functional scope covers scale ticketing, buying, inventory, customer records, camera and signature capture, dispatch and container tracking, NMVTIS vehicle reporting, catalytic converter buying, eWaste serial tracking, and an autonomous landfill scale system (Nexus Matrix) endorsed by Los Angeles County.

The company monetizes through tiered subscription leases (BASIC at $280/month, FULL at $499/month), outright perpetual licenses at $14,500 per yard, a mandatory $599 annual community fee, and hardware add-ons in the form of proprietary N3X6 and N3X7 ATM machines priced at approximately $23,600 and $26,500 respectively. Distribution is direct, combining phone-based inside sales, web self-service, and enterprise field sales for multi-location operators. The platform automates compliance reporting to LeadsOnline, BWI/RAPID, ACJIC, Ohio DHS, Texas DPS, California CRV, FDLE, and NMVTIS, with claimed coverage across all 50 U.S. states and a reported 803+ installations anchored by customers including Burrtec Waste (90+ California facilities), City of Burbank / Los Angeles County, Rand Recycling, and Renovo. Multi-language support (English, Spanish, German, Chinese, Hindi, Punjabi) addresses the diverse labor force typical of scrap yard operations. No external funding, acquisitions, or partnerships were disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• AMCS Group: Global vertical software provider for waste and recycling haulers with ERP, route optimization, and back-office modules. A larger incumbent competing for the same recycling and waste facility operators at the upper end of the market.
• Rubicon Technologies: Software and marketplace platform for waste and recycling haulers and municipalities. Broader incumbent in the waste/recycling software space with overlapping target customers in MRFs and recycling facilities.
• Routeware: Established provider of fleet, route, and operational software for waste and recycling haulers. Adjacent competitor serving a broader waste-hauling customer base that overlaps with Nexus's landfill and roll-off segments.

Direct peers

• Scrap Dragon: Vertical SaaS platform for scrap yards and metal recyclers offering buying, inventory, ticketing, and compliance features. Closest direct competitor to Nexus in the North American scrap yard software market.
• METech Recycling Software: Long-standing scrap metal recycling yard management software vendor providing ticketing, inventory, and reporting tools to scrap yards. Directly competes with Nexus for the same core customer base.
• Greenlight Recycling Software: Scrap yard and recycling operations software for tracking purchases, inventory, and reporting. A direct niche competitor serving the same SMB/mid-market scrap and recycling customer base as Nexus.
• CashTrax: Scrap yard ATM, cash card, and compliance transaction platform that competes directly with Nexus's N3X6/N3X7 ATM hardware and Texas Cash Card compliance module.

Emerging players

• ReMatter: Modern cloud-based scrap recycling operations platform with a marketplace component, targeting metals recyclers and scrap yards. Represents the cloud-native competitive threat to legacy desktop software like Nexus.
• iScrap App: Mobile scrap metal pricing and yard directory app used by scrappers and operators. Tangentially competitive with Nexus by serving overlapping end users (scrap yard operators and customers), though more of a pricing/lead-gen tool than full yard management.

Regional players

• Ruekert & Mielke (iScrap / Compliance Software): Civil engineering and software consultancy that has built scrap yard compliance and reporting tools, particularly in the Midwest U.S. Competes with Nexus's state compliance and reporting modules for regional scrap operators.
