Bob's Metals, Inc. was established as a Portland, Oregon-based family business in 1983. Founded by Bob and Idelle Weinstein, the company began as a one-man operation servicing the scrap metal recycling needs of local businesses.
Our humble beginnings — Est. 1983
Through a strong commitment to honesty, integrity and competitive pricing, Bob developed a well-known reputation within the industry. After decades of service, Bob's Metals has grown into one of the Northwest's leading metal processing facilities.
The company is currently owned and operated by the second generation of family members, building on a strong foundation and proud reputation initiated by Bob Weinstein more than 40 years ago.
Bob's Metals sells scrap metal to customers domestically and around the world via truck, rail and container ship. We are known for our cut-grade steel and aluminum, stainless, and copper commodities.
Our first priority is to serve our clients with the highest level of assistance, response and protection possible—while minimizing environmental impact.
Bob's Metals has made a significant investment in environmental stewardship through the installation of a 300 gallon-per-minute electrocoagulation stormwater treatment center. We collect runoff from our entire 14-acre site and use enhanced filtration to remove total suspended solids, heavy metals, emulsified oils, bacteria and other contaminants—placing treated water back into the ground through a DEQ-approved Underground Infiltration Gallery.
Bob's Metals is committed to the prevention of workplace incidents, including injuries and ill-health, by strict adherence to guidelines and regulations established by OR-OSHA. We are committed to the continual improvement of our Quality Environmental Health & Safety Management System.
Our employees are committed to attaining the highest level of customer service—treating customers with respect, listening and responding to questions, resolving issues to satisfaction, and following up to ensure we exceed expectations.
We comply with all environmental requirements of governing legal authorities, as well as industry best management practices. We are dedicated to minimizing environmental impact and protecting worker health and safety.
Bob's Metals has thrived through two generations of family leadership because we value the great relationships we've cultivated with our extended family of employees and customers.
