USM has been an industry leader in environmentally-conscious metal processing and recycling. Our sustainable practices exceed environmental standards. Operating on 30 acres and with over a half a million square feet under roof combined with our extensive list of certifications and commitment to environmental responsibility, coupled with our excellent customer service, are what sets USM apart from other recycling companies. USM has grown from a single-service plant to the most dependable and capable recycling and processing center in North America. As an industry leader, USM’s unique vertical integration and decades of experience allow us to provide outstanding customer experience and superior recycling services.

USM Mission

USM strives to become incrementally better every day realizing that success is detailed and cumulative. We work on a daily basis toward serving our customers through consistent improvement of process, infrastructure, and employee safety, health, and satisfaction.

Since 1972, the USM commitment to excellence gives our customers peace of mind in knowing that their recyclables are processed in a safe and environmentally-friendly way that follows all EPA and accrediting environmental standards. We take pride in offering accurate, transparent reporting, and outstanding customer service.

USM Companies

USM has mainly grown through strategic acquisition. Each company acquisition has brought specialized processes, talent, knowledge and relationships to allow USM to excel in many areas of recycling that others cannot. We will not say we recycle a material without being able to do it the correct way and with maximum return.

When choosing a scrap metal processor and recycler, customer service and integrity are just as important as environmental responsibility and pricing. Each of the USM family divisions offers transparency, sustainable and environmentally-conscious processes, and excellent customer service from start to finish.
