Estimate what your scrap metal is worth in CAD, per kilogram, tonne, or pound. AI-powered, updated daily, free to use. No sign-up required.
Canada has a well-established scrap metal industry built on its mining and steel sectors, with significant cross-border trade with the United States given proximity and long-standing trade ties. Material and pricing on either side of the border often move together. Regional variation matters here too: a yard's offer depends heavily on how far your material is from the nearest processor or export port, with Eastern Canada (closer to steelmaking in Ontario and Quebec) and Western Canada (closer to Pacific export routes) often seeing different dynamics. CAD pricing per kilogram or tonne from ScrapTrade's calculator gives you a national reference point to check a local offer against.
Canada mixes metric and imperial like the US. Kilograms and tonnes are standard, but pounds still show up at some yards, especially near the US border. ScrapTrade's calculator switches between all three.
Prices are AI-generated indicative estimates in CAD, refreshed at least daily. They're a useful starting reference, not a locked-in trading price. Actual yard and export prices vary by grade, volume, and buyer.
