Local Market Note

Calgary's scrap market is heavily influenced by the oil cycle. Industrial steel, alloy pipe, and chrome-moly fittings from oilfield decommissioning often attract specialist buyers at better rates than general steel. For standard household scrap, sorting is especially important here — smaller city volumes mean yards are less likely to pay blended rates on mixed loads.
