The BMI Difference

Why the Biggest Operations in the Pacific Northwest Trust Us

We are not trying to look like a national roll-up or a commodity middleman. We are a hands-on industrial recycler with real operating depth, real processing capabilities, and a reputation built over four decades.

⏱

On-Demand Responsiveness

When your yard is full, your dock is backed up, or your process changes, we move fast. Same-day urgency matters in this business, and we operate like it.

💹

Competitive Market Pricing

We review pricing against current market conditions instead of handing out stale numbers. Our quotes reflect real movement in the metals market and the realities of your material.

⚙

Full-Service Capabilities

From shearing and baling to spectro/XRF analysis, container service, trucking, and export preparation, we handle the work in-house instead of pushing complexity back on you.

🌿

Zero-Discharge Facility

Our environmental infrastructure is a real operating advantage. The site is designed around contained stormwater treatment and serious environmental stewardship — not greenwashing.

About

Built on Honesty. Grown by the Next Generation.

Bob’s Metals was founded in 1983 by Bob Weinstein after nearly two decades in the scrap business. He built the company the old way: on fair dealing, real work, competitive pricing, and a reputation that held up under pressure.

Today the company is led by the second generation — Mike Weinstein, David Weinstein, and Peter Van Houten — combining scrap-industry experience with financial discipline and senior operating leadership.

That’s part of why the company feels different. It’s still family-owned, but it operates with the maturity and systems awareness of a much larger industrial business.
