Recyclage SGSF

What Recyclage SGSF does

Recyclage SGSF is a family-owned recycling center headquartered in Saint-Jean-de-Matha, Quebec, Canada, founded by Stéphane Fisette in 1994. The company operates three core service lines from a single facility at 341 Rang St-François: (1) metal purchasing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals including steel, copper, brass, and aluminum, priced via on-site weighing using multiple industrial scales; (2) roll-off container rental in sizes from 5 to 50 cubic yards for construction, renovation, and demolition waste, with delivery via 6, 10, and 12 wheel roll-off trucks and 2 and 4 axle trailers; and (3) ecocenter services accepting pre-sorted construction and demolition materials from both residents (with up to 5 cubic yards free annually for St-Jean-de-Matha municipal taxpayers) and non-residents.

The company maintains a fleet of over 100 containers plus mobile warehouse units and operates without a proprietary software platform; its underlying technology consists of physical infrastructure (scales, container fleet, delivery vehicles) and a basic website with quote request forms. Pricing is transactional across all streams: metals are bought at commodity spreads subject to change without notice, container rental is quote-based varying by size, duration, weight, and delivery distance, and ecocenter tipping fees vary by material type and residency status. The customer base is fragmented across residential individuals, contractors and commercial businesses, and municipalities in the regional Quebec market.

Recyclage SGSF employs between 1 and 10 people and is undergoing family succession with the next generation of the Fisette family joining operations. The company uses direct-to-consumer distribution through on-site visits, container delivery, phone, email, and a Facebook presence. It has no external investors, no parent company, no disclosed funding rounds, and no public listing, operating as a private micro-business with continuity planning centered on family ownership.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Waste Management, Inc. Largest North American waste and recycling services provider with broad portfolio of collection, transfer, recycling, and disposal services. Overlaps with Recyclage SGSF's container, transfer, and recycling activities as part of a much wider offering.
• Republic Services, Inc. Major U.S. waste, recycling, and environmental services company offering residential, commercial, and industrial collection plus recycling. Provides overlapping container and recycling capabilities at much larger scale than Recyclage SGSF.
• Radius Recycling (formerly Schnitzer Steel): North American scrap metal recycler and processor operating a network of metal recycling yards. Directly comparable to Recyclage SGSF's ferrous and non-ferrous metal purchasing business but at significantly larger scale and geographic breadth.

Direct peers

• Waste Connections: North American waste collection, transfer, recycling, and disposal company with Canadian roots. Provides the same container rental, transfer station, and recycling services as Recyclage SGSF, albeit at much larger scale.
• GFL Environmental Inc. Canadian-headquartered solid waste, recycling, and container rental operator with a multi-service model across municipalities and contractors. Operates at far greater scale but competes in the same core services as Recyclage SGSF.
• AIM Recycling: Canadian scrap metal recycler operating yards that buy and sell ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Directly comparable to Recyclage SGSF's metal purchasing stream, although AIM operates multiple sites at significantly larger scale.
• 1-800-GOT-JUNK?: Canadian-founded junk removal and hauling franchise serving residential and commercial customers with on-demand container-style pickup. Closely comparable on container-based hauling and junk removal rather than landfill or materials recovery facility operations.
