The B360 Program

Your Scrap Program Should Do More

Most Portland manufacturers are leaving money on the table. Your scrap program is overlooked, unchecked, and operating on autopilot — and that plays to your current vendor's advantage, not yours.

The B360 Audit is Bob's Metals' proprietary process to evaluate every aspect of your scrap program and identify where you're losing value. It covers four pillars:

Better Equipment

Right containers and handling equipment for your operation — placed free at your Portland facility.

Better Sort

Maximize material grades through smarter segregation at the source. Higher grades = higher prices.

Better Support

Dedicated account manager who knows your operation and responds when you need them.

Better Returns

Market-index pricing tied to COMEX and LME ensures you get fair value every time — no surprises.

Free B360 Scrap Audit

No cost. No obligation. Most Oregon clients discover 15–30% improvement in their scrap returns after the B360 Audit.

Available for commercial and industrial accounts throughout Portland, Oregon, and the Pacific Northwest.
