They’re good people at universal metals! Taking my scrap metals to them was a fast painless process. It was super easy to schedule and get i Highly recommend them
The pricing was better than anyone else in the area, and the owner, Alex, took the time to explain the different grades of recyclable materials and the prices that go along with those materials. Friendly, professional, and clean facilities.

Super friendly family business. Made it super easy to schedule an appointment. I’ve done business with multiple places locally and always received the best customer service and prices here
We drove a long way to sell some scrap metal and I did not realize we needed to make an appointment first. But he was kind enough to make an exception this one time. Great pay out for what we brought. But I do recommend making that appointment first. Thanks Universe
Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely eager to help. They walked me through the process, answered every question clearly, and made sure I felt taken care of from start to finish.
What impressed me most was how efficient and organized everything was. They handled my materials quickly, offered fair pricing, and treated me with respect the entire time. It’s rare to find a business that combines professionalism with such a welcoming, down‑to‑earth attitude.
If you’re looking for a metal recycling company that values its customers and goes above and beyond, this is the place. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending them to others.
Alex has been super helpful in getting rid of my precious metals at a good price!
Not only does he beat out competitors with pricing at a very aggressive rate but him and his facility are very professional, no ghetto "dog town" nonsense. I will continue to go through Alex and highly recommend his services.
Alex is a straight forward, down to earth man. His company is going to thrive and will continue because of his personality and honesty! Recommend for all,
Great family owned business to work with, Alex the owner and everyone there are great people! Go see them if your looking for a good place to bring your metal!
Alex was great !!! Awesome customer service, honest and straightforward. He is not your typical scrap yard, where you feel like you need to lock your doors or worry about getting ripped off. Universal metals has my business for sure going forward.
Universal Metals is hands down the best recycling facility in the inland northwest. Alex works with my business to give me the best rates and service in the area. I highly recommend Universal Metals to anyone for recycling.

Wow I would never do Business with anybody, but Alex, I don’t care how far away I live. The customer service and friendly environment is more than worth it. I would suggest this place to anybody that is looking to get rid of some of the recyclable materials laying around your house. 10/10 5 stars !!!
I am so thrilled with the kindness and the last minute business he let us do we came in 8 minutes before closing on a Saturday and he literally just let us come in and was so kind and knowledgeable about letting us know to clean up some of the wiring to make more money in our pockets instead of just ripping us off or turning us away because it was so close to closing I recommend Alex 100% over anyone in this area by far! Thanks again Alex!!! So awesome.
First visit here bringing in aluminum cat food and pop cans. Clean facility and environment, friendly service and perfect setup. It was a great experience from start to finish with Alex! Will return in the future.
