CANADA IRON & METAL CO. LTD.

3534 Dundas St West (at Jane St.)
Toronto, Ont..

At Canada Iron & Metal Co. Ltd.., we recognize the serious nature of the current COVID-19 pandemic and the need for a business response that is aimed at protecting the health and well-being of our employees, clients, and the public at large, all while ensuring our continued efficient operations.

With the recent announcement from the provincial government that all non-essential businesses temporarily close, recyclers will be permitted to continue to operate. Although the business will continue to operate, it is imperative that all employees and visitors adhere to our mandatory workplace practices.

Currently, there is no disruption to our pick-up and delivery services. It’s crucial that we maintain your regular service levels and uphold environmental responsibilities to our communities.

What has changed?

We’re doing our best to be socially responsible, and we will do everything within our power to ensure employee safety and well-being.
