Calbag Metals – 100 Years of Treating Our Customers Right!

From our humble beginnings in 1907 first as Northwest Junk Company, and later becoming Calbag Metals, our company has grown to be one of the largest metal recycling companies in the West. Family owned since our founding, Calbag Metals today does business with over 5,000 companies that sell scrap to us, and over 300 companies in the Pacific Rim that buy our scrap. We have companies that have sold metal to us or bought metal from us for decade after decade.

Our expertise sets us apart
Our business philosophy at Calbag Metals defines the reasons for our success:

We know more about the scrap metal market than our competition…
We know more about our customer’s business than they would ever expect from us…
And we know ourselves.

Such expertise doesn’t come easy. It’s a result of recognizing our most valuable resource – our staff and their knowledge. Retaining great employees and keeping them with us year after year is of very high importance to our company. We know that our knowledgeable staff makes a huge difference in helping our customers manage their scrap and maximize the revenue they receive from their scrap. This expertise has been built up over decades and is clearly evident in every phone call and every visit our customers have with our staff. We are proud to be a 100-year-old company and third generation family owned, but we are most proud of our family of employees.
