United Scrap Metal

Making a Positive Impact in the Lives of Others.

Established in 1978, United Scrap Metal has grown from $200 and a rental truck to one of the largest full-service recyclers in the country.

United Scrap Metal offers recycling solutions guided by decades of experience and a firm commitment to doing the right thing. We are passionate about making a positive difference for our customers, consumers, and communities.

Whether we are acting as a channel partner, a source of community support or a reliable employer, our focus remains the same – on doing the right thing across the entire footprint of our business.

We operate six facilities across the United States and hold strong customer relationships in all major markets that allow us to remain agile in our service area opportunities. We focus on building authentic partnerships within our communities and are proud to support a variety of non-profit organizations.

Our experience spans many different industries, and our customers range from manufacturers, metal service centers, and utilities, to demolition and construction contractors. Our customers turn to us because they know we understand the logistical and economic challenges they face and are well-versed in the complexities of their industries. They can trust that our team will value their business as if it were our own.
