The Philosophy

Forty years in the Pacific Northwest has taught us one thing: the difference between a scrap yard and a metals program is discipline. Every pound counted. Every grade verified. Every market moved before it moves you.

Forty years. Two generations. One standard and it never slips.
Services · 001

What we do,
end to end.

From a single container at a machine shop to 22-ton semi-trailer loads moving through our shear and out to Pacific Rim mills — we run every stage of the metals value chain ourselves.

Materials · 002

What we buy.

Every grade of ferrous and non-ferrous, prepared and unprepared. If you're not sure what you have, bring it — we'll grade it, weigh it, and quote it while you wait.

Program · 003

Most recyclers just
buy your scrap.
We engineer your entire metals program.

The B360 Program is our audit-first, systems-led approach. We walk your floor, analyze your waste streams, place the right equipment, train your team — then keep optimizing as markets move.

Most companies treat scrap as a back-of-house cost center. It isn't. With the right sort and the right partner, it's one of the highest-margin revenue streams on the floor — and it pays every month.

Est. 1983 Bob Weinstein — founder of Bob's Metals, Portland Oregon
Our Story · 009

A family business.
A second generation
at the helm.

Bob's Metals was founded in 1983 by Bob Weinstein with a simple philosophy: treat every customer honestly, respond quickly, and always look for ways to deliver more value.

Forty-plus years later, it's led by Mike and David Weinstein — second-generation operators who've expanded the yard to fourteen acres, added state-of-the-art processing, and built one of the first zero-discharge scrap facilities in Oregon.

Be Honest Be Responsive Be Better Be Together Be Safe
Stewardship · 010

Zero discharge.
No exceptions.

Not a marketing line — an engineered reality. Every drop of stormwater that falls on our fourteen acres is captured, treated on-site, and returned to the ground. Nothing reaches the Columbia Slough.

Every drop on fourteen acres is captured, treated, and managed on-site — zero discharge to the Columbia Slough or any waterway.
