Local Market Note

Victoria has a smaller industrial base than mainland BC, so scrap supply leans toward construction copper and aluminum plus marine metals from the naval and boating sector. With fewer competing yards, a clean, sorted load of copper or brass can command a strong offer — it's a market where presentation genuinely pays. Call ahead for larger quantities.
