Local Market Note
Toronto-area yards are competitive and buy in high volume. Clean copper — especially No.1 and bare bright — typically draws strong bids from multiple buyers. Call ahead on any load over 20 kg of copper or 100 kg of steel. Large renovation loads often qualify for negotiated rates above the posted price.
