What we buy

We want your steel, especially shred: light steel, tin, car bodies and appliances for our shredder. We buy copper, aluminum, brass and more too. Prices move with the markets, so call 204-233-1908 for today’s price.

What counts as shred

26 materials

Ferrous metals 9

Iron and steel. A magnet sticks to most of it.

What happens to your scrap

We sort it, shred the light steel and process it into furnace-ready product: clean, sized metal ready to melt. It ships to mills, smelters and foundries across North America, Europe and Asia, where it becomes new metal.

Common questions

Not covered here? Call the yard and ask: 204-233-1908.

What do you pay for scrap metal?

Prices move with the metal markets, so we do not post them. Call 204-233-1908 with what you have and roughly how much, and we will give you today’s price.

How should I sort my scrap?

Keep copper, aluminum and brass apart from steel, keep batteries upright, and take your belongings and the plates out of a car. Then bring it down to the team at 550 Messier Street and we will take care of you.

Do you take e-waste?

Yes, for free: there is no charge to drop off computers, circuit boards, telecom gear and other electronics. Wipe your data first. See electronic scrap.

Do you buy scrap cars?

Yes. Bring the vehicle, your ID and its paperwork, and take out your belongings and the plates: see the scrap autos guide. For scrap yards, auto parts yards and farm sites, ask about our mobile service.

Can you put a scrap bin at my business?

Yes. Tote boxes, roll-off bins and lugger bins from 8 to 65 cubic yards, short or long term, and our own trucks to haul them. Tell us your site, your metal and how fast it piles up.

How is my metal graded?

At the scale. We weigh your load and grade the metal. Keeping copper, aluminum and brass apart from steel makes it faster.

Do I need ID?

Yes. Industrial Metals complies with the Manitoba Scrap Metal Act. Bring government photo ID: we record it, and your licence plate, as the Act requires. For a vehicle, bring its paperwork too.

Which areas do you serve?

All of Winnipeg, plus business programs across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Northwestern Ontario. See areas we serve.

Serving the stewards of scrap

The stewards of scrap are the people who make the extra effort to keep useful metal out of the landfill, from homeowners clearing a garage to manufacturers with offcuts every shift.

Industrial Metals opened its first scrap yard on Derby Street in Winnipeg. Today our yard is at 550 Messier Street, Winnipeg, MB R2J 0G5, and we work across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Northwestern Ontario.
