United Metals Recycling at 3809 S Eagleson Rd, Boise, ID 83705

Micah at United is fantastic—truly knows his stuff. Service is solid, no complaints.

Dropping off scrap couldn’t be smoother. I brought an X-ray gun to check if my stuff was aluminum, and they were great about it. Super easy and straightforward.

I learned so much at United Medals. The workers there weren’t just helpful, they actually walked me through how to tell copper wires from aluminum ones. Turns out not all motor wires are copper, and they showed me how filing the ends makes it obvious. Everyone there was friendly, too.

This place is my top choice. Their prices blow every other yard around out of the water, and they don’t nickel-and-dime you. I’ve checked out every scrap yard in town, and none come close to United. The staff makes sure you walk away with the best possible dollar too.

These folks know what they’re doing. The staff is friendly but also gets the job done without wasting your time. If you’re looking for a no-hassle scrap yard, this is it. ---

This place is a total rip-off. I’ve been bringing them the same scrap metal for years—same stuff, same weight, same everything. Today, they suddenly decided it’s "different" and slashed the price by half. I even showed them old receipts proving I’d brought the exact same metal before, but the guy wouldn’t budge. Just flat-out refused to talk about it. And get this—they take your metal *before* they pay you, so you’re stuck with whatever crappy price they throw at you. No negotiation, no fairness, just a shady way to run a business. Disgusting. ---

United Metals is the real deal. The guys there treated me with respect, didn’t try to lowball me, and gave me a fair price upfront. No games, no nonsense—just straightforward business. If you’re selling scrap, this is the place to go. ---

Sold them some old machine parts last year, and they actually took the time to sort the clean aluminum from the dirty stuff. The whole process was smooth—no waiting around, no confusion. Just drop it off, get paid, and move on. Simple as that. ---

Hands down the best scrap yard in town. They always pay top dollar for metal and aluminum, and the yard is actually clean—no rusted junk everywhere to ruin your tires. Micah’s a stand-up guy, too. Ex-Army (yeah, yeah, we give him grief for it), but he’s always got a smile and a good time. Doing business here is a pleasure.

I had to tell the manager how much I liked this place—it’s that good. Out of every scrap yard I’ve been to, this one’s by far the cleanest, most organized, and just *better* in every way. If you’re tired of dealing with messy, unprofessional places, this is where you go.
