About United Metal
The auto salvage and parts site United Metal runs in Boise, Idaho, taking inbound material from sellers and contractors. The business provides a paid drop-off point for scrap metal that would otherwise sit unused, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. The directory does not carry an accepted-materials list for this yard at present, and no intake set has been filed. On a practical level, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. The directory carries what the yard chose to publish about its day-to-day inbound flow and contact channels, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Phone quotes give a working number, but the final intake price is what the yard pays at the gate after material is weighed and graded. A pre-visit call still gets sellers in the right ballpark and confirms the day's posted scrap rates. Posted online rates tend to be a guide to recent activity rather than a firm commitment for the day, and the gate price is the one that lands on the receipt.
