day four
From cars and copper to old computers and aluminum cans, Sutter Metals is a leading recycler. The family-owned company, founded in 2009, employs 57 people and is headquartered in south Tacoma in a new facility the company built in 2020. When they poured the foundation for the new building, owners Chad and Janice Sutter and their young children all put their hands into the wet concrete on the sidewalk outside the front door, where their handprints remain today as a friendly greeting to visitors.
“ Our main focus is to help the environment and keep as much material out of the landfill as possible. It has a massive impact and benefit on our environment.”
