metal surplus, scrap near portland Oregon area?
 

Does anyone know what i can find a good price on metals around portland
oregon?

I am in need of bar stock(aluminum,copper,hot/cold rolled) and some
sheet metal.Only need small loads. Retail(surplus/scrap) type sales.
All the scrap dealers in the phone book only "buy" or sell large loads.


Some type of scrap hobby, buy by the pound Yard would be great!
Thanks for the help

Pacific Metals (recently moved to somewhere in the Tigard/Tualatin area) has
a 'rem' area with interesting pieces of non-ferrous metal and The Steelyard
out on Columbia Blvd will do small orders...

I did a couple of years exile in Portland. I remember "The Steelyard" fondly.
However, I couldn't find them in the online directory service I use when I
looked yesterday. Are they still there? I wouldn't be surprised if they
weren't since up here in Seattle the list of surplus-type vendors has shrunk
by well over 90%, sigh.

Unless they've gone out of business in the last year Clackamas Steel is
nice -- steel and aluminum remnants by the pound. They keep their scrap
steel outside, so you either need to get it fresh or expect to grind off
some rust.

Metals Supermarkets , over by the costco on airport way & 122nd---
actually 13319 whittaker way

not a scrapyard, but their offcut bins etc are nice, plus everything's
marked so you know whether this bar here is 12L14, or Unmachinium.
no minimum , $3.00 cut charge.
Good luck,
Gene
