Love this place as crazy as it might sound. Kim was so nice and explained everything clearly. Her enthusiasm and positivity made the whole experience fun and easy. The sheriff of aluminum town was also friendly and helpful. It’s nice keeping recyclable stuff out of the landfill, and getting paid for it!
If you want the best customer service and easiest scrap metal experience then go to Bob's!! The staff is so help full and friendly especially Kimberly. Your the best Kimberly!!! Thanks again.
Bob’s Metals is an amazingly complex business dedicated to metal recycling. I was impressed by their organized efficient approach and was pleased by their staff’s willingness to explain their business to me. Highly recommend!
Bobs is the best. From the office staff to the yard staff. Cleanest scrap yard around and easy to get around in with a semi. If you go anywhere else then your brains are seriously scrambled!
Ms Kimberly was exceptional! She greeted me promptly and efficiently as I drove up onto the scales. She forwarded instructions to me clearly and cheerfully. And then wrapped up my service quickly, and with a friendly smile as I returned to the scales. Kimberly makes recycling at Bob’s Metals a fun experience! And she deserves a new TV!
I’ve never scrapped metal before . This was a pleasant experience the scale girl Kimberly was so nice and helpful all with a big smile . The guys in the yard were also helpful. Overall I highly recommend Bob’s Metals for all your metal recycling needs .
Been doing business with Bob’s since early 2000’s both professionally and personally and find them to be consistently honest, professional, courteous, upfront, and always nice folks. I wish they had Saturday hours for my personal schedule though. I knew Bob and enjoyed his friendship. It’s great to see his legacy thriving.
They will buy your scrap metal. My 5 star review is for the young woman working the scales today. Her enthusiasm, customer service and charisma are like finding gold, silver and platinum in a heaping pile of discarded tin.
Bob's metal ripped me off today I dropped of some steel weighing almost 100 pounds which is worth 27 cents a pound in general they gave me a receipt for approximately four dollars than told me to cash it at the office when I went to the office to discuss why the receipt is so low and they told me they don't pay out 4 dollars. When I know I had 100 pounds of steel! I was payed nothing! I urge people not to come here! They are scam artists and criminals!
Bob's metals is best place I have been they take the time to let u know what prices are, how to get the most for your scrap much nicer than other places I've been, they don't push u through the process like other places if u have a question they seem happy to answer I do recommend bobs metals
Very friendly and cooperative employees -- something that isn't always a given in this industry. Also the place is kept as organized and tidy as possible. Which I realize is crazy for a scrapyard. 😄 But somehow they do it.
Only went here because I saw their billboard and I won’t be going back. 2100lbs of steel at $130/ton yielded almost the same as Pacific Coast Shredding 10min away for 1000lb at $225/ton the exact SAME DAY. Easy choice where to go next
I was paid less than half the going rate per pound for Aluminum that other places pay. I feel ripped off and embarrassed that I went there. I'll never go there again and I'll tell anyone I see to not go there. Asked clerk why. she said I could take back my stuff and take it somewhere else.
Why not just pay a fair amount??
Signage to get where you need to go was a little confusing for a minute. After turning to go to the scale from the main entrance, there's a sign that says do not enter, recycling employees only, or something to that effect. Its for an area immediately off to the right when you turn towards the scale, they're basically making you go around instead of cutting g through, but you can't tell that until you pass the "do not enter" sign. Only confusing for your first time there. Other than that, it's pretty easy to get around and figure the process out.
This place was kind of a rip off. We brought in twelve hundred pounds of scrap iron, and they only gave us $60. It took a few days to load all of that heavy metal into the pickup bed, and it was a long drive to get to this place. With how much metal we brought, we thought we'd get at least a few hundred bucks. Other than being cheap, it was a pretty cool place. Huge piles of metal, and guys cutting through metal with huge oxygen torches. It was a neat look behind the curtain of industrial America, but be warned, they don't give you much for your scrap.
Bob's is the best . I Have been coming here a little over three years and never had a bad experienced. The men and women who work here are always nice and respective also bilingual. I Will always recommend bobs for anyone's scrap metals needs. Thank you for all the hard work .
This is the best scrap metal place ever!!!! We had over 16 truck loads of scrap go out in 6 months. Justin and Rick the driver was so amazing with our needs for pick up even At 3 am in the morning 🌄.... Driver had to go to different locations for pick up and Justin was amazing to communicate with driver of time and locations. Even at 5pm the day before they picked up and swapped out containers before my crew even got to work. Thanks you so much for making this Farm clean up of 20 years of collected scrap easy to get rid of. Plus what with the best pricing, wonderful customer service and able to accommodate my needs. Justin and crew keep up the amazing business with you. Trust me your my ONLY SCRAP COMPANY EVER.
Tessa with Andersen Dairy.
I brought in around 30 lbs of steel some brass and some computer scrap, they said they had a 200 lb minimum which I didn't know about, the guy said he'd still pay me, and he paid me a whopping $1.05. now I don't what the prices are but I feel ripped off.
This place really socks, they pay too low rate for aluminum, I’m so disappointed never ever come back again . Do a favor yourself and find another place. Workers are really nice and friendly.
Used to go to all the local places around town till I found out about these guys. Always treat you right and pay you what your scrap is worth and no like some of the other competitors who try to nickel and dime you on everything. Love the honesty of these guys.
I cannot be more impressed with the customer service my family received from Bob's Metals. I called (spoke to Mackenzie, who was very sweet taking my call) the other day to see about getting a huge box delivered to my family farm for a clean up project (we have hoards of scrap metal), Bob's was on it, the very next day they sent out a representative out to our facility to verify we had enough to warrant their free box delivery, and the man (Steve) who came out, couldn't have been nicer to my Grandmother (the proprietor of our farm) who was sensitive about having a man come out for an inspection. He treated her with kindness and respect during the time on our property and again we cannot express enough how wonderful the customer service was. We appreciate everything so much. Additionally I spoke to a manager (Mike) to let them know how happy my Grandmother was with the service, and then he invited us to a Customer Appreciation BBQ, which my family is looking forward to going to. I cannot say more wonderful things about this place. THANK YOU!!!!
Bob's Metals is the BEST scrap yard in the Portland Metro area. The whole staff is polite and willing to help you achieve the best return rates on your metal. Mike that runs the drop off area is AWESOME! I go to Bob's because of the GREAT SERVICE!
Had the pleasure of working with their buyer Steven on a job in portland. They're equipment is well maintained, they're generally prompt and very responsive. Roll off service was impressive. Prices are generally very good, seldom not the highest.
