Montreal, QC Scrap Metal Prices

Montreal has nearly two million inhabitants, it is the largest city within Quebec and is situated on the Saint Lawrence river. Many people are involved within the scrap metal recycling industry in the city and indeed within Quebec as a whole. Selling scrap metal within Montreal is very simple, however the laws can be somewhat convoluted to the layman.

Canada can have some particularly convoluted rules which prevent some people from being able to sell scrap metal, you will find that Montreal has relatively relaxed ones in comparison. The main restriction that you should be aware of is the limitations to trading hours in montreal, scrap recycling facilities can only operate between 8am and 8pm and so this is crucial to adhere to as obviously you won't be making any money outside of these hours. You don't want to waste your time travelling to the scrap yard with tonnes of metal to find that it is not open when you arrive. Moreover, scrap recycling centres have to record the sales of all cars (very detailed documentation required) and general sales (less detailed documentation required). This is aimed at preventing people from stealing scrap metal and making money through illegal means, this was a problem throughout Montreal in the 90's and early 2000's.

Copper and lead are by far the most valuable forms of scrap metal in the city, however other metals such as aluminium and zinc are also increasing in demand too. The scrap yards which often provide the best scrap metal prices in Montreal are Kenny U-Pull, Junk Car Removal Montreal and AIM Recyclage Montreal. We loved these dealers and will definitely be heading back to them whenever we are in the area and have some materials to sell.
