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... Carla "Sendkeys" wrote in message oups.com...

Carla 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. Grant |

Thanks for the help 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. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com |
