Our History
Kard was founded by Clifford Kernen, a former computer programmer. He witnessed a tremendous amount of waste, as punch cards (which ran the computers) were used once and thrown away by the thousands. Cliff started gathering punch cards and computer paper from his company, and stored it in his garage. His wife, Bernadette and their 7 children would help sort the different grades of paper to increase the value. When he had filled a trailer, he would sell it to a scrap yard in Milwaukee. In 1973 Cliff took the "Big Step" quitting his job to become a full-time Recycler. He named the company Kard, for punch cards and started it with a K for Kernen.
Now Kard Recycling has over 30 years of recycling experience and is still going strong. In fact, Kard now has two locations, one in New Berlin and one in Madison, Wisconsin! Cliff and Bernadette are retired and have handed the business down to their children, Mary Boneck (President), and Tom Kernen (Vice President).
