What to Bring

  • Government-issued photo ID (driver's licence, passport)
  • Vehicle registration if selling catalytic converters or automotive metal
  • Metal sorted by type — mixed loads pay less
  • Drain fluids from radiators, batteries, and motors
  • Call ahead to confirm today's buy rate

Payment & ID

Most yards pay cash or cheque on the spot. E-transfer is becoming common for larger loads.
Canadian law requires yards to collect government-issued photo ID when buying copper, catalytic converters, and other regulated metals.
Loads over $500 may require a cheque or bank transfer rather than cash, depending on the yard's policy.
