About United Metals
United Metals is a scrap metal recycling business that sets up shop in Caldwell, Idaho. The site takes inbound scrap from walk-in sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit in garages or salvage piles. We do not have a current accepted-materials list on file for the yard's inbound intake at the time of this snapshot. Per the directory, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line and an email contact are on file. Both data points come from the yard's own filing and represent what the site has published about its inbound schedule and contact options, which gives sellers a working baseline for planning a visit. Sellers running a series of small drop-offs over a few weeks may want to ask the yard about its routine handling for repeat inbound. Some sites coordinate around recurring volume in a way that smooths both pricing and gate timing on a routine basis.
