Local Market Note

Ottawa's scrap market is smaller than Toronto or Montreal, with fewer competing buyers. This makes presentation more important — a clean, well-sorted load stands out and often gets a better offer than mixed material would in a larger market. For copper, the Kanata tech corridor generates decent electronics scrap; strip wiring before you go.
