About Western States Metals Inc

Western States Metals Inc is an industrial steel and scrap operator working out of Salt Lake City, Utah in Salt Lake County. The site serves walk-in sellers, small contractors, and anyone in the surrounding county who needs to turn scrap material into cash rather than haul it to landfill. The team accepts aluminum, brass, copper, and lead on the inbound side, per directory records. The categories listed run the standard intake mix the yard reported as part of its public-facing snapshot, which gives a working sense of how a load might fit before any drive over. Per public records, day-to-day hours are recorded and a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. The directory carries these as the yard's own self-reported snapshot of its inbound schedule and contact mix, and surfaces them 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.
