About This Location

Utah Metal Works is one of Salt Lake City's longest-running scrap metal recyclers, with roots going back to the late 1920s and decades of family ownership. The yard at 805 Everett Avenue buys non-ferrous metals from both household sellers who drop off directly and industrial accounts served by pickup. State-certified scales are used and a state or federal ID is recorded for every transaction except aluminum cans.
