WasteCap News
New Name
WasteCap Wisconsin has changed its name to WasteCap Resource Solutions!
WasteCap Resource Solutions is growing and reaching beyond Wisconsin’s borders as we provide waste reduction and recycling assistance for the benefit of business and the environment. We will continue to provide the same services as we help businesses within and outside of Wisconsin transform their waste into resources.
New Address
This growth also means a new location for WasteCap. Our office in Milwaukee is now located at: 131 West Seeboth St., Suite 220 Milwaukee, WI 53204
It’s a cool “green” space located in an old warehouse that was adapted for offices, including ours and the Wisconsin Green Building Alliance, our new next door neighbors.
Please update your records.
New Marketing Specialist
