Family-owned since 1976 — Puget Sound's most trusted name in scrap metal buying and recycling, proudly serving Seattle and King County.
For nearly 50 years, Pearson Metal Salvage has been the go-to scrap metal recycler for Seattle businesses, contractors, and homeowners. From our Tacoma yard at 10403 Portland Ave., we serve the entire Seattle metropolitan area — from the industrial corridors of SoDo and Georgetown to the construction sites of South Lake Union, Capitol Hill, and Ballard. Whether you're tearing down a commercial building in the Duwamish Valley or cleaning out a garage in West Seattle, we buy your ferrous and non-ferrous metals at competitive daily market rates with fast payment.
Seattle's booming construction and renovation economy generates massive amounts of scrap steel, copper, aluminum, and mixed metals. Pearson Metal Salvage has the infrastructure to handle it all — from single truckloads to ongoing commercial accounts requiring scheduled pickups, roll-off containers, and dedicated account management. Our family has built this business on honest weights, fair prices, and the kind of personal service that only a second-generation, locally owned operation can deliver.
