  HANDS DOWN! UM is the only recycling\scrap yard to go to. You won't find anyone else who treats you as good they do when it comes to getting paid. One year later and I STILL love this place! I can't praise UMW enough! Professional, courteous, genuine.

  The Best place I have ever taken my scrap metal. Great prices and very friendly. I also had some metal they forgot about, and they sent me a check in the mail for it. I won't go anywhere else.

  Very helpful and friendly staff! I'm a small-time scrapper who only comes in 2-4 times per month, but they always remember my name. Also, the yard is easy to navigate, and the staff often helps me unload my truck (which hasn't ever happened on the rare occasion I go to a different scrap yard).

  Want to thank all the staff from Utah metal works for their professional conduct and infinite patience. The hard working guys in the back and in the yard, to the petty lady's in the front and the caballeros in the caves. Thanks

  Great people everywhere. Such friendly ladies in the office. Great workers in the yard. Extremely great prices on recycling, updated as often as needed to reflect the market. Any amount of scrap from a shopping cart full off cans, truck bed full of turnings, to a flat bed full of computer chips.

  They are great to work with, good on their word & get things processed efficiently. My only advice is to double check the weight slip/receipt they give you to ensure accuracy of product & weight you've turned in.

  Great people helping businesses and the public. If you're bringing a trailer, be sure to know how to back it up several times. The only way they could be better(and increase efficiency) would be by making the whole facility 1-way vehicle traffic, including scales.

  The ladies at the front desk are kind, efficient and fast. They always give a fair price. Watch out for the guy in the back though. Impatient as all get out. However, I would still go back to them.

  I interacted with four different people while there, and some were pleasant to deal with, while others were terrible. The guys who helped me unload were great! The ladies in the office were nice enough. There was a guy who yelled at me because I wasn't sure where to drop stuff off, that guy was more trash than the trash that was piled up! Next time I'll just find a dumpster to throw my stuff away.

  First time there but the guy that helped me unload and weigh my brass was awesome to work with. They gave me what seemed like a fair price for it. The office lady was quite helpful too.

  I've been taking our metal shavings from our machine shop to them for 20 years and have never felt like I've been taken advantaged of. Sometimes it takes a while if the scales are busy but 90% of the time i'm in and out in less than 20 minutes with cash or check in hand. Always friendly and professional.

  Pretty good place to take my scrap metal. It's close to my house and the main reason I choose them over another scrap yard. Prices at all scrap yards seem to be competitive with each other. The first visit here is always a little different but you get used to the procedure after a few times.

  Utah Metal works was great. I had some property stolen from me, and Utah Metal Works could have just processed the metal, but they did not they took the time to return the product to me, and are prosecuting!! They try not to buy stolen goods, which for a metal recycling plant is a big deal! Thanks Utah Metal Works!!

  UMW is the leader of the non-ferrous recycling facilities in all of Utah. As I have been for more than 10 years now I will continue to sell my metal to UMW for years to come. Their staff is amazing and are always kind.The owners are generous and civic minded. The best of the bunch. My personal favorite. A+ team.
