We have done our share of picking up loads here. It gets a bit tight for the big trucks coming in. Everyone here has always been great. We have always been loaded in a timely manner and the office staff is very friendly. Hubby was always offered a snack or two. :) This place is like a maze and it can be entertaining watching people unload their items. We have watched some crazy things here, they do get the job done!

This is a very professional and easy to work with metal recycling business. We had been acquiring lots metal display racks and fixtures in my business over the past decade and it felt like it would be too big of an undertaking to get rid of ourselves. I contacted Jason and he came out to look at what we had, a week later a huge container was brought on site and we were able to correctly dispose of all our metal waste! Thanks again!

I had some kitchen odds and ends and I came across Calbag Metals for metal recycling. I have never been to a metal recycling location before and the folks at Calbag made me feel comfortable bringing in my few items for recycling. Nice to feel good about doing something so small.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I have some super old stadium lights. Is that an item that you would accept?

Kandi Rodriguez | Aug 16, 2020

If the bulbs, capacitors, and glass are removed you should have zero issues. Bulbs and capacitors should be taken to household hazardous waste. They have information on these materials on their Environmental Management System website 14001.calbag.co--look for a material acceptance policy and click through it.

Do you take cars? And how much do you pay?

Only bring the scrap you have

I'm looking for a place to find steel scrap and unique steel parts to buy for art/welding projects. Do you sell to the public for this type of material? Can people come in and look over what you have in stock?

John Greenstone | Aug 17, 2019
Boris Washington Sr. | Aug 17, 2019

They don't sell scrap to the public. To see the production of the plant you need some sort of an appointment

Do you accept old barbeque grills?

Sameer Sahay | Jul 17, 2022
Scott de Ridder | Jul 26, 2022

Yes, they do. No propane tanks, though, and if it's stainless steel you will probably get a bit more money for separating it from the steel parts, including any screws.

If you guys dont pay same day then who does

Devin Henry | Oct 20, 2021
Dean Rasmussen | Oct 20, 2021

Oregon State law requires Oregon scrap dealers to hold payment for three business days. Washington scrap dealers have lesser restrictions.

Do they pay you the same day you turn in your brass ??

Devin Henry | Oct 20, 2021
Steve Spriggle | Oct 20, 2021

Yes but worth it . They pay good on things that Longview Washington wants you to give them.
