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.
