Who We Are

A Modern Take on a Legacy Industry.

MOME Metals Recycling was founded in 2018 with a clear vision: build a modern recycling company that operates at a higher level. Backed by a private ownership group with more than 30 years in the scrap and recycling industry, MOME combines deep market experience with a sharper, more disciplined approach to service, pricing, and operations.

We understand this business because we have been in it for decades, and we built MOME to reflect what the industry should look like when it is run intelligently and professionally. We are not stuck in the old model. We bring a modern mindset to a traditional industry.

30+ Years of Industry Experience

Our ownership group brings decades of scrap and recycling expertise to every decision.

Technology & AI-Driven Operations

We use data, AI tools, and modern systems to improve speed, accuracy, and execution.

Customer-First Approach

Top prices, professional service, and long-term relationships built on trust.

Our Heritage

Three Decades of Industry Expertise

MOME Metals Recycling is built on a foundation that goes back to the 1980s. Our founders, Mo and Mary Ellen, entered the metal recycling industry over 35 years ago, starting at the ground level by personally picking up end-of-life vehicles for customers across South Florida.

In 1991, they opened their first metal and automobile recycling facility in Miami, Florida. Over the next three decades, they built one of the most experienced and well-connected recycling operations in the region, expanding their presence across both South Florida and Southwest Florida.

That depth of experience is what MOME was built on. We know this business because we have worked every level of it, from picking up a single vehicle to processing thousands of tons through our own industrial shredder. It is the reason we can price the way we do and consistently deliver more value to the people and businesses that sell to us.

Today, under the leadership of Omar, MOME represents the next generation of that expertise. Decades of market knowledge combined with modern technology, AI-driven operations, and a disciplined approach to service and pricing that sets us apart from every other yard in the region.

Our Journey

Four Decades in the Making

From a single vehicle pickup in 1987 to Southwest Florida's most modern recycling operation. Every milestone built on what came before it.

1987

Where It All Began

Founders Mo and Mary Ellen enter the recycling industry at ground level, personally picking up end-of-life vehicles for customers across South Florida. One truck, one handshake at a time.

1991

First Recycling Facility Opens

Five years of relentless work pays off with the opening of the first full-service metal and automobile recycling facility in Miami. A foundation built on fair prices and treating every customer right.

1998

Industrial & Commercial Expansion

Operations grow well beyond the local yard. Export container programs ship crushed vehicles, motors, and processed scrap to domestic mills and international buyers, cementing the company's reputation as a volume operator.

2008

Second Facility Established

The ownership group opens U Pull & Save in Fort Myers, a 7-acre full-service yard built for high-volume vehicle and scrap operations. Bigger footprint, deeper inventory, more throughput.

2013

Third Facility Established

Expansion continues north up Florida's west coast with the acquisition of MSB Junk Cars in Punta Gorda. A third full-service site extends regional coverage and locks in a multi-yard operation that most independents can't match.

2018

MOME Metals Recycling Opens

A new chapter. MOME launches in Fort Myers with a clear vision: combine three decades of industry expertise with a modern, disciplined approach to service, pricing, and operations in Southwest Florida.

2020

Industrial Shredder Upgrade

The original shredder is replaced with a full-scale industrial model, dramatically expanding in-house processing capacity and making MOME one of the only facilities in Southwest Florida with true on-site shredding.

2024

Data-Driven Operations Launch

Under Omar's leadership, the next generation takes the wheel. Data, AI tools, and smarter systems are rolled out across pricing, logistics, and execution, redefining what a scrap yard can look like.

Today

50,000+ Tons a Year & Counting

Forty years of expertise, 10,000+ customers served, and 50K+ tons processed annually. Still family-backed. Still built on trust. And just getting started.

Our Mission

Pay Top Prices. Run Efficiently.
Earn Long-Term Trust.

We believe customers should not have to choose between strong payouts and a professional experience.

Best Prices

By investing in better systems, smarter processing, and more advanced recycling and material separation methods, we maximize value at every stage. That operational edge allows us to stay competitive and pass more value back to the people and businesses who sell to us.

Modern Operations

We use technology, data, AI-driven tools, and sharper decision-making to improve speed, accuracy, communication, and overall execution. We are constantly looking for ways to operate better, recover more, and create a smoother experience for customers.

Trust & Professionalism

In an industry where margins and efficiency matter, our difference shows up in service, consistency, and price. We are building a company known for top dollar, professionalism, innovation, and real staying power in the Southwest Florida community.

We are building a scrap yard that actually reflects how this industry should run. Professional, disciplined, and paying what the material is truly worth.
