Common questions
Not covered here? Call the yard and ask: 204-233-1908.
What is shred?
Light, thin steel: sheet metal, tin, siding, car bodies, appliances and similar items. It feeds our auto shredder, and we want it. See the shred guide.
Where can I find today’s scrap prices?
Scrap prices move with the metal markets. Call 204-233-1908 with what you have and roughly how much, and we will give you today’s price.
Do you take every item made of metal?
Most metal, yes. Sort it, bring it down to the team at 550 Messier Street, and we will take care of you. Fridges and freezers must be free of refrigerant, and we do not take propane tanks or gas bottles. E-waste is accepted for free.
What if my material is not on the list?
Call 204-233-1908 or send us the details. Tell us what it is, where it came from and how much you have.
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.
