Mission Statement

Utah Metal Works strives to provide the best possible safety, service, and benefits to our employees and customers. We realize that it takes team work, attitude, communication, and dedication to achieve the satisfaction an success of a winner. Our doors are always open to new ideas that will keep us strong competitively and achieve the growth and stability required in our efforts to be the very best in the metal recycling industry. Our strength comes from long-standing traditions combined with innovative ideas, producing the best results for our employees, customers and community.

Corporate History

Founded by Hymie Goldman in the late 1920's, Utah Metal Works originally had more to do with the manufacturing of electrotype and linotype printing plates than it did with scrap metal. After Goldman passed away in 1955, UMW was purchased by Harry Lewon and his two brothers Rubin and Louis. The Lewon brothers folded the printing plate business and redirected all of the company's resources to the scrap end of the business. Shortly after the business changed hands, UMW moved to its current location on Everett Avenue in Salt Lake City where since that time it has continued to grow, expand, and thrive. Today, the business is run by Harry's son Don and Don's sons Mark and Chris who are committed to maintaining the company's long-standing tradition of excellence, integrity, and fairness.

Our Code of Ethics

We have been a trusted metal recycling company for 55 years, and we intend to continue setting the highest standards of integrity in the business.

In order to protect our customers as well as the community at large we:

  • Deter and prevent theft by working closely with police to nab suspects who attempt to fence stolen scrap metals for material gain.
  • Require the showing and recording of state or federally-issued I.D for all transactions (with the exception of aluminum can recycling).
  • Videotape every transaction: All of our premises are under 24-hour surveillance.
  • Digitally capture all signatures (as of June, 2010).
  • Use state-certified scales for your protection and peace of mind.
  • Treat all of our employees with dignity and respect: At Utah Metal works, we are a family.

Recycle Unwanted Household Metal Goods With UMW

If you think Utah metal recycling for homeowners is limited only to aluminum cans, think again! Of course we always welcome your soda, beer, and other cans to our recycling center, but why not earn even more quick cash by also bringing us other unused non-ferrous metalitems that are just gathering dust in your house, attic, basement, or shed?

Q: What does non-ferrous mean?
A: Non-ferrous metals are materials whose value is not derived principally from iron.

Utah Metal Works only processes non-ferrous metals such as:

  • Aluminum
  • Copper
  • Lead
  • Nickel and Stainless Steel alloys
  • Precious Metals
  • Tin
  • Titanium
  • Zinc
  • And More

Chances are you have items around your house or left over after a garage sale that contain significant amounts of these non-ferrous metals just waiting to be cashed in. Visit our pricing page to see current prices per pound for these valuable commodities or contact UMW for more detailed information about post-consumer scrap.

Household Items You Can Recycle

Some of the common household goods we pay for include, but are not limited to:

  • Brass fixtures and brass knick-knacks
  • Aluminum foil
  • Aluminum siding, including gutters and downspouts
  • Christmas lights - yes - Christmas lights
  • Insulated and non-insulated aluminum and copper wire
  • Screen doors/aluminum window frames
  • Cast aluminum barbecues
  • Plumbing pipe, valves and connections
  • Aluminum pots and pans
  • Computer motherboards (no monitors please)/keyboards/hard drives
  • Oil-free assorted car parts
  • Car batteries
  • And more!

If you don't know what kinds of metal an item may contain: call us and we'll tell you. Before you go to the dump, come to us and we will pay you current fair market value for your unwanted metal goods. Note: pre-sorted materials command a better price as do clean materials and items with nothing else attached.

Our Process: As Easy as 1-2-3

  1. Drop off your materials to us at 805 W. Everett Avenue (just off Beck Street near 1500 N in Salt Lake City) during regular business hours. Note: we do not provide pick-up service for residential customers.
  2. Present your state or federally-issued ID (no ID required for aluminum cans only), and have your items identified and then weighed on our state-certified scale.
  3. Receive on the spot payment in the form of either cash or check.

That's all there is to it: It really is as easy as 1-2-3 to put more money in your pocket, and we offer the "green" solution you've been looking for. So don't trash it: cash it!
