πŸ”¬ Bob's B360 Diagnostic

Better Equipment. Better Sort.
Better Support.

The B360 is our proprietary diagnostic that examines every facet of your recycled metals program β€” revealing hidden revenue, eliminating waste, and giving you the transparency you deserve.

A Complete Audit of Your Recycled Metals Program

Most scrap vendors show up, quote a price, and disappear. They profit from your lack of visibility. The B360 changes that. We walk your facility, study your material streams, evaluate your container setup, analyze your sort practices, and deliver a comprehensive report with actionable recommendations.

The result? Operations that have gone through the B360 typically discover 15–30% in recoverable value they didn't know existed β€” through better sorting, right-sized equipment, and transparent market-index pricing.

This Isn't a Sales Pitch

The B360 is a genuine operational audit. Even if you stay with your current vendor, the insights are yours to keep. We believe that when you see the full picture, the partnership becomes obvious.

What the B360 Examines

Every B360 audit is structured around three areas where most operations leave money on the table.

πŸ”§

Better Equipment

We evaluate your current container setup against your actual material volume and pickup frequency. Many operations overpay for container swaps on half-full boxes, or lose productivity waiting for a pickup that should have happened yesterday.

  • β€’ Right-sized roll-off containers (10, 20, 30, 40 yard)
  • β€’ Indoor lidded boxes (4Γ—4, 4Γ—6) for turnings & chips
  • β€’ Semi-trailer placement for high-volume operations
  • β€’ Pickup frequency optimization
  • β€’ Container placement mapping for workflow efficiency
πŸ“Š

Better Sort

The single biggest lever for improving returns. Mixed loads get mixed pricing. Properly separated materials can return 2–3Γ— more revenue. We assess your current sort practices and design a system your team can actually execute.

  • β€’ Material stream identification & mapping
  • β€’ Sort station design recommendations
  • β€’ Team training on metal identification
  • β€’ Contamination reduction strategies
  • β€’ Revenue-per-pound improvement projections
🀝

Better Support

Transparency isn't just a buzzword here β€” it's our pricing model. We tie every transaction to published market indices so you always know you're getting a fair deal. Plus dedicated account management and responsive service.

  • β€’ Market-index transparent pricing
  • β€’ Dedicated account manager
  • β€’ 24-hour pickup turnaround guarantee
  • β€’ Monthly settlement reporting
  • β€’ Real-time market updates

What Our Clients Discover

πŸ’°

Hidden Revenue

Mixed loads priced at lowest-common-denominator rates. Proper separation reveals metals worth 2–3Γ— more than mixed pricing suggests.

πŸ“¦

Equipment Mismatch

Containers too large or too small for actual volume. Pickup frequency misaligned with production cycles, causing overflow or wasted hauls.

πŸ“‰

Pricing Opacity

No connection to published market indices. Most vendors set prices based on what you'll accept, not what the material is worth.

πŸ”„

Process Inefficiency

Sort stations placed in wrong locations, workers walking unnecessary distances, containers blocking workflow paths.

⚠️

Contamination Waste

Good material contaminated by improper handling β€” steel in aluminum, oil on copper, food waste mixed with recyclables.

πŸ“‹

Missing Documentation

No weight tickets, no market-indexed pricing records, no audit trail. If you can't verify it, you're operating on trust alone.

Nothing. The B360 audit is completely free with no obligation. Even if you don't end up partnering with us, the insights and recommendations are yours to keep.
Typically 60–90 minutes, depending on the size of your operation. We work around your production schedule and can visit during off-peak hours if preferred.
No problem. The B360 audit provides value regardless of your current arrangement. Many clients use the findings to benchmark their existing vendor's performance or prepare for contract renewal negotiations.
We serve the greater Portland-Vancouver metro area and the Pacific Northwest. For large-volume operations, we can arrange service throughout Oregon and SW Washington.
Our pricing is tied to published market indices (COMEX, LME, AMM) rather than arbitrary quotes. This means you can verify exactly how your pricing relates to real-time market conditions β€” complete transparency.
