Tell Us What You Have
Use the form below to select the types of scrap metal you're looking to sell. Include estimated weight, photos if you have them, and your location. The more detail you provide, the faster and more accurate your quote will be.
Get Matched With a Trusted Recycler
We match you with a reliable, vetted scrap recycler in your area. They'll review your submission and prepare a quote based on current commodity prices — the same prices that drive the global scrap market. No made-up numbers, no hidden fees. The price they quote is what you'll be paid.
Pickup or Drop-Off & Fast Payment
For qualifying loads, your recycler offers free pickup. Otherwise, you can drop off at their location. Once the material is weighed and verified, payment is sent via Interac e-Transfer or direct deposit — usually the same day.
*smashscrap.ca Ltd is a facilitator connecting you with independent scrap metal recyclers. We do not directly buy, sell, or process scrap materials. All transactions are between you and the recycling partner.
Materials Our Partners Buy

Why Use Our Canadian Scrap Yard Network?
Every scrap yard in our Canadian network has been vetted for fair pricing, certified scales, and reliable service. We match you with the right local buyer so you don’t have to gamble on a random yard.
Real Market Pricing
Our partner recyclers tie their prices to actual commodity market rates — LME, COMEX, and regional indices. When the market moves, their prices move with it. You'll always get a fair price that reflects what your material is actually worth today.
No Hidden Deductions
Some yards deduct for "processing," "sorting," or "contamination" after you've already agreed on a price. Our partners don't do that. Their quotes account for everything upfront. What you agree on is what you get paid.
Secure Digital Payment
All payments are made via Interac e-Transfer or direct deposit. Digital payment gives you a proper record, eliminates disputes, and means you don't have to worry about carrying anything around. Fast, secure, and traceable.
Built for Repeat Business
Whether you're cleaning out a garage once or you're a contractor with regular scrap, our partner recyclers want to earn your trust and your repeat business. That means fair dealing every time — not just the first time.
Scrap Metal FAQ
Answers to common questions about selling scrap metal through SMASH.
How are your prices determined?
Our partner recyclers base their pricing on current commodity market rates (LME, COMEX, and regional indices). Prices fluctuate daily with the global market, so the rate you receive reflects what the material is worth at the time of your transaction.
Is there a minimum quantity?
There's no strict minimum for drop-offs. For free pickup, we generally require a minimum load size to make the trip worthwhile — but reach out and we'll let you know what works for your area.
How do I get paid?
Payment is sent via Interac e-Transfer or direct deposit once your material has been weighed and verified — typically the same day. No cheques, no delays.
Do I need any documentation?
No documentation is required to submit a quote request. For regulated items like catalytic converters, our partner recyclers may request additional information per local regulations at the time of pickup. By submitting, you confirm you are the legal owner of the materials.
Can I sell scrap from a business or job site?
Absolutely. Our partner recyclers work with contractors, demolition crews, renovation companies, and industrial operations regularly. They can arrange regular pickups and provide documented weight tickets and payment records for your accounting.
