Recycling Services

We recycle all of these items below and more. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Prices will be updated on a regular basis to reflect the changes in the market.

If you find a recycling business with a cheaper price in the Yukon we will try to match it!

Aluminium

Aluminium has many different alloys. Typically we buy 6063 and 6061 as an alloy. We also buy other alloys in groups. The most common is Old Aluminium, which often consists of siding and gutters as well as some street signs and most thin gauge aluminium. Borings/Shavings are a material grade on their own. Call us if you have any questions.

Copper & Brass

Copper typically is classified into 3 material grades: clean, bright & shiny wire; clean pipe; & copper pipe with sauntering. We always have a conversation as we want the customer to receive fair value and whenever possible, the expected value for the material. Brass is usually segregated into 3 categories: clean red brass; clean yellow brass; & dirty (also known as plumbing) brass.

Insulated Copper Wire

Insulated Copper Wire or ICW is a recovery based commodity. This means we pay you for the copper content in the wire. As we are a metal exporter, the insulation is not of value to us. Typical housewire and extension cords are low recovery items; data wire from telecommunications, electronics, etc. are also lower recovery ICWs but above household ones.

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel has many different alloys. Typically we buy 304 and 316 as an alloy. Call us if you have any questions.

Steel

Steel is bought by the ton – you do not need a ton to be paid. If you have a portion of a ton, you will be paid the corresponding portion of the price/ton. There are a few grades of steel and household appliance with cooling systems carry a government regulated fee for disposal.

Batteries & Catalytic converters

Batteries are bought for the lead, we only accept lead-acid batteries such as auto or industrial ones – no household or computer batteries, please.

Catalytic converters are priced on the spot within 15 minutes on week days, you must bring the catalytic converter to our location as we must be able to confirm the palladium/platinum content.

Other Recycling

Other Material is usually bought based on recovery of the various commodities in the piece of machinery, or equipment, etc. This means we pay you for the metallic content in the material.
