R.S. Davis Recycling, Inc

The R.S. Davis Recycling story began in the mid-1960s when our founder, Richard Davis, first started hauling scrap metal throughout Oregon and Washington. He continued operating out of the Portland area as a metal recycler and portable scrap processor until the early 1980s. That’s when recycling really became a household word. Over the next 15 years, the company grew by acquiring two auto-wrecking yards and expanding into the portable metal bailing business. In November 1996, the company was reorganized into two different corporations, Orient Auto Recycling, Inc. and R.S. Davis Recycling, Inc.

R.S. Davis Recycling is proud to be a leader in the Northwest scrap metal industry. We’re setting the standard for metal recycling, using the newest technologies and most sustainable practices.

We recycle both ferrous metals (tin, steel, iron and vehicles) and non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, brass and stainless steel) at three Oregon locations.

As a third-generation, family owned business, we have earned a reputation for honesty and integrity. For more than 40 years, we’ve been making it easy and profitable for businesses and households to recycle scrap metal. Our employees are here to help, and with an average of 10 years’ experience, they can answer just about any question you have.

The R.S. Davis Recycling vision:

To be the premier metal recycling company in the markets we serve
To make continuous improvement to better serve our customers
To make a contribution to our communities, as individuals and as a company
To succeed as a business and to provide value to our shareholders

Today, R.S. Davis Recycling is headquartered in a state-of-the-art facility in Clackamas, Oregon and operates two other recycling facilities in Hermiston and Gresham, Oregon.
