Question 4

How much do you pay for scrap metal?

Accepted Answer

Pricing varies periodically and depends on the type of metal. We never deceive customers on price, because we want every new customer to become a regular customer. Please call us for the current market price and our team will quote you fairly depending on the material type, quality, and quantity. You can also see our current pricing tiers on the Pricing page.

Question 7

Do I need to bring my ID to sell scrap metal to CAC?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alberta has legislation in place to regulate scrap metal transactions, primarily aimed at preventing theft and ensuring accountability within the industry. The Scrap Metal Dealers and Recyclers Identification Act requires that scrap metal dealers record all transactions, including the collection of valid government-issued photo ID (e.g. driver's licence) for every customer.
