Frequently Asked Questions
Non-ferrous metals are alloys or metals that do not contain any appreciable amounts of iron . All pure metals are non-ferrous elements, except for iron (Fe), which is also called ferrite from the Latin ‘Ferrum,’ meaning “iron.”
It takes far less energy to recycle metal rather than mine, purify and shape it.
Recycling metals also helps preserve key resources.
Scrap metals such as aluminum, copper, steel, brass, and iron can be reused many times to make many new products, such as:
Construction – roads and bridges
Manufacturing – cars and aircraft
Containers
New and stronger metals
Furniture and fittings
We will pick up your scrap metal, and pay you on location. Please contact us to get started.
It depends on the type of metal and other conditions, including:
Market Price
Location
Time of year
Demand
Prices are always changing, please contact us to get a qoute.
Like all commodities, metal prices change with supply and demand, and the cost of production.
As specialist buyers of works arising materials, we buy all grades of ferrous metals including heavy engineering-grade carbon steels, through to lighter gauge mild steels and punchings.
If you would like us to pick up your scrap metal, please remember to bring evidence of identity which is required from all persons disposing of metal for payment. Accepted forms of identification include a BC photocard driving licence, a BC passport or an original passport from any nationality, or an official BC identity card.
Our integrity is of paramount importance to us. All materials are weighed on our own fully calibrated electronic public weighbridges.

CRIME PREVENTION
Metal theft puts public safety at risk because it interferes with telephone services, emergency communications and transportation systems, and may expose the public to electrocution from live wires.
The province passed the Metal Dealers and Recyclers Act and Metal Dealers Recyclers Regulation .
The Act and regulation help deter and track metal theft, and protect the personal information of scrap metal sellers. They also increase the accountability of dealers and sellers and create consistent, minimum requirements across the province.
