Running a business, managing a construction site, or tackling a large demolition project comes with its fair share of debris.

Supporting Businesses Across Industries
Our recycling services aren’t just for construction crews. We work with a wide range of industries across Tacoma and the South Sound, including:
- Manufacturing: managing scrap from production processes
- Retail and offices: recycling electronics, cardboard, and plastics
- Transportation: vehicle recycling for fleets and old equipment
- Demolition and construction: full-service C&D recycling and drop-bin services
No matter your industry, we’ll partner with you to build a recycling program that fits your operations and adds value back to your business.
Construction and Demolition Recycling Made Easy
Construction and demolition (C&D) debris is a huge part of the waste stream. According to the EPA, C&D materials account for over 600 million tons of debris generated in the U.S. each year—more than twice the amount of household trash. The good news? A large portion of that debris can be recycled, especially metals.
At Sutter Metals, we make demolition debris recycling and construction debris removal straightforward. We work with contractors and site managers to:
- Place recycling containers for businesses and construction sites exactly where you need them.
- Provide on-site consulting to streamline collection and keep your site safe and efficient.
- Transport and process scrap metal quickly, so it never slows down your project.
Whether it’s copper wiring from a remodel or structural steel from a tear-down, we’ll make sure those materials get recycled into something new rather than heading to a landfill.
Drop Bins for Convenient Scrap Collection
One of the biggest challenges on job sites is managing the flow of waste and recyclable materials. That’s why we offer recycling bins for businesses and construction projects.
We deliver sturdy containers to your preferred location, giving your crew a simple, centralized place to deposit scrap. Once the bin is full, we pick it up and swap in an empty one, keeping your project on schedule. It’s efficient, safe, and helps maximize returns on recyclable metals.
This approach to business and construction waste management isn’t one-size-fits-all. We consult with you directly to figure out the right container sizes, placement, and pickup schedule to fit your needs.
Mobile Crushing for Vehicle Recycling
Not all recycling projects are about buildings—sometimes they involve cars, trucks, and heavy machinery. Our mobile crushing service is designed for auto part facilities, fleet managers, and demolition sites where vehicle recycling is necessary.
We bring our crushing equipment to your location, process the vehicles on-site, and transport them for further recycling. This eliminates the hassle of moving bulky, inoperable vehicles yourself and ensures that they’re recycled responsibly.
Beyond Metal: Baling for Cardboard, Plastics, and More
While metals are at the heart of what we do, many businesses also generate large amounts of non-metal recyclables like cardboard, paper, and plastics. To help, we provide mobile baling services that compress these materials into manageable bundles.
Why does that matter? Baled recyclables take up less space, are easier to store and transport, and can often be sold as valuable commodities. It’s a win-win for businesses that want to save space and keep recyclable materials out of the trash.
Electronic Recycling for Businesses
In today’s world, almost every business has electronics—computers, printers, monitors, and other equipment that eventually become outdated. Tossing them in the dumpster isn’t just wasteful; it’s harmful to the environment.
Sutter Metals offers electronic recycling for businesses, including computer recycling and other office equipment disposal. We help you recycle electronics responsibly so valuable components like copper, aluminum, and plastics can be recovered, while harmful materials are handled properly.
It’s a simple way to practice sustainability, protect your data, and keep e-waste out of landfills.
