Runde Metal Recycling

What Runde Metal Recycling does

Runde Metal Recycling LLC is a privately held scrap yard operator headquartered in Holmen, Wisconsin, with a second location in Tomah, Wisconsin. The company purchases ferrous and non-ferrous metals (copper, brass, aluminum, stainless steel, lead-acid batteries, steel, appliances, car bodies) from residential, agricultural, and industrial customers and resells them into the commodity metals supply chain. It also operates fee-based disposal services for refrigerators, freezers, tires, and construction/demolition debris.

The business runs a traditional, asset-based scrap model with no proprietary technology disclosed. Core operations rely on standard metal sorting and weighing equipment at two physical yards. Ancillary services include demolition and dismantling, dumpster/roll-off rentals, vehicle pick-up, and farm clean-up, which extend the yard's reach to industrial accounts and project-based jobs. Customer acquisition is primarily walk-in at physical locations, supplemented by a Facebook page and the company website, with no indication of sophisticated digital marketing or sales infrastructure.

Revenue is generated through a commodity spread on scrap transactions (priced per pound or per unit at prevailing market rates) plus disposal fees on regulated or non-commodity items. Industrial/business accounts are identified as the primary customer segment, with residential homeowners and farm/agricultural customers serving as secondary volume. No funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership changes, patents, certifications, or management team information are disclosed in the available data, and the company's revenue, founding date, and ownership structure beyond an LLC designation are not publicly reported.
