Route to Facility, Not to Landfill.

Metal recycling services Salt Lake City does the right way.

Most Salt Lake City disposal companies dump-and-dash. The truck rolls into the landfill, tips the bin, and the metal is gone forever. Bubs Disposal doesn’t. If we can recycle a load of metal, we route it to a Utah scrap recycler instead of the landfill.

The recycling itself happens at the facility — sorting, processing, smelting prep, all the specialized work of turning scrap into new-metal feedstock. That is the scrap recycler’s licensed work, not ours. What Bubs does is make sure the recyclable metal in your dumpster ends up at the facility, not the dump.

Roofers, demo crews, estate cleanouts, and remodelers see the biggest impact because their loads carry the most metal. Old roofs come off with flashing, gutters, and vents. Demo loads carry rebar and pipe. Estate cleanouts pull appliances. All of it routed to Utah scrap recyclers, none of it landfilled.

Where Your Metal Goes
Metal in your Bubs dumpster routes to a Utah scrap recycler such as Western Metals Recycling in Salt Lake City — the Intermountain West’s primary scrap metal processor (a Nucor company). Ferrous and non-ferrous, sorted and processed there for new-metal feedstock. Bubs picks up the load. Western does the recycling.

Common Questions

Metal recycling FAQs.

Where does my metal actually go?
Recyclable metal routes to a Utah scrap recycler such as Western Metals Recycling in Salt Lake City (a Nucor company). They handle the sorting, processing, and prep for new-metal feedstock. Bubs is the link between your dumpster and the facility.
Do you offer standalone metal pickup?
Yes. If you have just metal (appliances, gutters, scrap), we run standalone metal pickup. Call 801-230-5045 with the load description.
Do you handle refrigerator Freon recovery?
Yes. All refrigerators and AC units go through certified Freon recovery before scrap. EPA-compliant, no shortcuts.
Do you take aluminum cans and household scrap?
For our dumpster customers, yes. Household scrap rides along with the load. For walk-in scrap drop-off, we are a disposal company not a scrap yard. Check local scrap yards for can recycling.
What if my load is not mostly metal?
No problem. Mixed loads still get the recyclable metal pulled out for recycling routing. Roofs come with flashing and vents, demo loads come with rebar, cleanouts come with appliances. If the metal can be recycled, it routes to the scrap recycler. The rest of the load routes per the material — concrete to crushing, green waste to compost, cardboard to paper recycling, the rest to disposal.
