How to recycle your metals
No appointment is needed—simply drop off your materials during our operating hours, and we’ll ensure they are processed sustainably.
To get the highest value for your metals, always separate out commodities as much as possible. Collective loads are paid for the lowest commodity.
Our staff will direct you where to go, and help you weigh your metals. After drop-off, you can collect cash or a cheque, or choose to donate the proceeds to charity.
