Local Market Note
Halifax's shipbuilding and naval sector, plus steady construction, generate the bulk of local scrap — structural steel, marine aluminum and brass, and copper from electrical work. As the largest yard market in the Maritimes, buyers here handle volume, but non-ferrous still travels a long way to final processors, so grade and cleanliness matter to your offer.
