About Us

Learn About the History of

Lake State Recycling

Lake State Recycling (LSR) was founded by Chris Baumgardt and Harley Hanson in 2010 in Nowthen, Minnesota. We started primarily recycling commercial electronic scrap and non-ferrous metals. We've expanded our offerings over the years, with our range of recycling services now including e-scrap, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, precious metals, automotive scrap, and catalytic converters. We've also changed locations, moving LSR's operations to a new Elk River, Minnesota facility. Here, we’re able to provide a larger, more convenient space to better service customer needs.

Backed by over 30 years of combined experience in the recycling industry, LSR can professionally and efficiently assist you through the recycling process—no matter what material you have to dispose of.
