Where To Buy Metal

When I lived near Medford OR there was a scrap metal yard I would wander through. A metal hobbyist dream with steel @$.50/lb. In Portland OR I have not yet found such a place. The aluminum and steel in H Depot is shockingly high. Currently the scrap steel commodity market has sunk very low, but when we hobbyists will benefit is anyone's guess. Meanwhile look for neighbors who scrap out their bed frames.

I love White City Metals.
 
Thanks for the replies. Glad to hear White Cities is still there. I will try to find Standard Steels in Portland.
 
We have a place in Wichita, Ks called "The Yard". They have just about any size or shape of Aluminum known. They get it whenever the big Aircraft plants in Wichita retool up for a different jobs. They also get all of the tooling used in building an Aircraft. I've picked up quite a lot of Aluminum, Drills, taps, Carbide hole saws, and one time I picked up a full sized Real Leather bull hide that the wife used to make me a welding apron out of with plenty left over.
