  • To ensure a smooth experience at our public yard, please follow these steps: 

    1. Arrival: Upon arriving, please park safely in one of our designated parking spots off Dundas St West. 

    2. Check-In: Our staff will help to identify your material and direct you on how to proceed. This may include helping to sort your material, providing handling tips or directing you to an alternative drop off location inside the yard, depending on the quantity and types of materials. 

    3. Unloading & Weighing: Once directed, you may unload your materials into the provided carts to be weighed or off loaded in the steel yard. If you have any specific needs or disabilities, please let us know so we can help accommodate you. 

    4. Payment: After your material is weighed, you’ll receive an inspection ticket from one of our metal graders, which can be redeemed for payment at the 'Scale House' within the yard. 

    5. Departure: Once your transaction is complete, please exit the yard safely. 

  • We are open Monday-Friday 7:30am-5:00pm & Saturdays 7:30am-12:30pm. Please arrive at least 30min before closing to ensure enough time to unload your material.

The pricing for metal vary depending on the type of metal and the fluctuations in the market. Our scales are calibrated and certified regularly. Contact us to get today’s pricing for your metal.
