USMe Electronic Assets Recycling Division

Unlike many of its competitors who evolved into electronic recycling, USMe had the rare opportunity to design its systems, processes and facilities using a “clean sheet of paper”, and a deep knowledge of the inadequacies of others’ methods. USMe design criteria was to achieve the high level of security, reliability, thoroughness and attention to detail required by the stringent local, state and federal rules and regulations governing the proper disposition of end-of-life electronic equipment, and the severe consequences for failure to comply. USMe is a specialty division of Universal Scrap Metals (USM), one of America’s premier scrap material wholesalers, providing recycling services for ferrous and non-ferrous metals of all kinds, plus initial processing of used aluminum beverage cans. The principle facilities of both USM and USMe are located within the industrial core of Chicago, IL.
