Metro Group headquarters at 3150 W. 900 S in Salt Lake City buys scrap from retail customers and commercial accounts, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Bill Bond opened this Salt Lake yard in 1976 as Metro Steel Distributors. The family scrap trade began in the early 1900s, and fourth- and fifth-generation relatives still run it, with brokerage and rail transloading alongside the yard. Utah law requires an ID to sell metal here. The yard takes cast iron, heavy melting steel, plate and structural, stainless, copper, insulated copper wire, aluminum cans, brass, lead, radiators, appliances, and lead-acid car batteries. Lithium batteries are turned away. Cars and ATVs need a Utah dismantler permit, form TC-656, at drop-off. Catalytic converters need proof of ownership, a driver's license copy, and fingerprints. Refrigerators need freon removed by a certified EPA 608 technician.

Scrap Yards in Salt Lake City: FAQ
Do scrap yards in Salt Lake City, UT pay cash?
Many states restrict cash payment for scrap metal, especially copper and catalytic converters, and require a photo ID and a waiting period. Expect a check or electronic payment at some yards. Call ahead to confirm how a yard pays.
What do I need to bring to sell scrap metal?
Bring a valid government photo ID. Many states also require a vehicle plate number and, for some items, proof of ownership. Separate metals by type before you go, since mixed loads are paid at the lowest grade.
How are scrap prices set in Salt Lake City, UT?
Yards price scrap by the pound or ton, based on commodity markets such as COMEX copper, minus their processing costs. Prices change daily, so call two or three yards before selling a large load.
