Northwest Metals & Salvage Service, Inc. was established in 1989 by Brad Rinker, who brought over a decade of experience in the scrap metal industry. Initially, Rinker worked at Pacific Iron & Metal before taking on roles as a scrap buyer at the Purdy Company in Illinois. This extensive background equipped him to create a full-service, non-ferrous scrap metal recycling yard. For over 30 years, Northwest Metals earned a reputation for reliability and integrity. The company also expanded into the demolition sector, providing comprehensive services that include mechanical demolition, selective demolition, concrete demolition, tenant improvements, and hazardous material abatement.
Throughout its history, Northwest Metals has focused on delivering quality work completed on time and within budget, resulting in a loyal client base. Clients appreciate Northwest Metals not only for the wide array of services offered but also for the company's commitment to excellence in customer service. Despite the closing of the recycling yard in the summer of 2022, Northwest Metals continues to thrive in the demolition industry. The team’s competent and knowledgeable staff distinguishes Northwest Metals from competitors, reflecting the company's foundational values.
As a testament to its standing in the industry, Northwest Metals is a member of several organizations, including the Associated General Contractors of Washington, the National Demolition Association, and the National Federation of Independent Businesses. The company's long-standing commitment to integrity and quality has solidified its reputation as a leading specialist in demolition and hazardous abatement services.
