    A great week for urban e recycling

    We were honored and humbled to have been awarded the EMERGING BUSINESS OF THE YEAR by the South Tampa Chamber of Commerce which is the #1 ranked Chamber in Florida last week. We were thrilled to just be nominated, and the interview process and tour of facility over the last two months was a lot of fun, but left us surprised at how far we have come in 2 1/2 years. We were so happy to bring all 8 of our employees to the award banquet and share this with them as they are a major reason we have accomplished these goals and recognition.



    We also had the film crew from the TV show The List come by and film for a segment to air in the Southeastern market soon..


    Thanks for letting us brag a bit on here. Back to work

    Good for you on giving credit to your employees. I wish you continued success.

    So true . We can have the best business plan in the world and 25 years of scrap knowledge and experience but it takes a team to put it all together and make it happen. For those who don't know we are proud to have legendary SCRAP METAL FORUM member HAPPY SCRAPPER as a integral part of the team...

    Congrats UER and Happy Scrapper!!! Great to hear some good news on the forum rather than complaints of prices (which I am guilty of myself). Could you post a link of your video that got produced? Would like to see.
    Thanks and great work!!!

    Congratulations!

    Always great for a community to show respect to the waste and recycling field. It is one of the most underappreciated fields around.
