Total Waste Management

​

We provide our customers with exceptional service, efficient waste management, and responsible recycling while ensuring full compliance, so you can focus on your business, not on your waste.

Our Story

 

Logistics Recycling, Inc. (LRI) has a long history rooted in innovation, growth, and environmental stewardship. Founded in 1993 as Lamp Recyclers, Inc., LRI began by providing responsible recycling solutions for lamps and other universal waste streams.

​

In 2019, new ownership ushered in a period of significant growth and investment in people, facilities, and service capabilities. LRI expanded beyond lamp recycling to provide universal waste, hazardous waste, and roll-off waste services. That same year, LRI installed its first medical waste treatment system in Somerset, Wisconsin, expanding its medical waste services throughout the region.

​

In 2023, LRI acquired MERI (Madison Environmental Resourcing, Inc.), a respected medical waste company founded in 1985 by three Madison-area hospitals. With nearly 40 years of medical waste expertise, MERI strengthened LRI's healthcare waste capabilities and expanded its reach across the Midwest.

LRI continued its growth by adding its Ankeny, Iowa location, extending its waste management and recycling network into Iowa and the surrounding region.

​

Most recently, Redemption Recycling joined the LRI family, expanding LRI's capabilities into responsible electronics recycling. As an R2v3-certified electronics recycler, Redemption brings specialized expertise in safely and securely handling, recycling, and recovering electronic equipment.

​

Today, LRI brings together decades of waste management experience, recycling expertise, and healthcare industry knowledge to provide comprehensive medical, hazardous, universal, electronics, and industrial waste solutions. We partner with organizations to manage regulated waste responsibly, recover valuable resources, and support safer, healthier, and more sustainable communities.
