## What Is Scrap Metal Removal?

Scrap metal removal in Toronto covers ferrous and non-ferrous materials: structural steel, aluminium extrusions, copper pipe, cast iron radiators, brass fittings, and stainless appliances. Every load is sorted by metal type and delivered to licensed Ontario scrap processors - not general transfer stations. A WSIB-compliant two-person crew handles heavy-load dollies and appliance disassembly to extract maximum recyclable metal before disposal.

Ferrous means steel and iron: old railings, cast iron radiators, bed frames, shelving units, appliance shells, tools, and pipe. Non-ferrous means aluminium, copper, brass, and stainless: wiring, plumbing runs, gutters, window frames, and fittings. Both are recyclable indefinitely, which is why metal recovery is one of the few genuinely closed loops in waste handling. Metal recovery is a large part of how we divert up to 60% of every load from landfill across our

.

The reason people call rather than driving it to a yard themselves is weight. A single cast iron radiator can run 80 kilograms and it is invariably in a basement.

## What Is Included

-   Collection from basements, garages, yards, and job sites
-   Ferrous and non-ferrous separated at the truck
-   Heavy item handling with dollies and straps
-   Appliance shells, radiators, boilers, and tanks
-   Railings, shelving, ductwork, conduit, and pipe
-   Delivery to metal recyclers for recovery

## Common Problems We Solve

### The Radiator In The Basement

Cast iron radiators come out during heating upgrades and then sit for years because nobody can move them alone. They are dense, sharp-edged, and impossible to grip. Two people, straps, and a stair-capable dolly makes it routine.

### The Workshop Clear-Out

Old tools, offcuts, shelving, and half a lifetime of hardware in a garage or shed. Metal is separated as we load rather than being mixed into a general waste stream.

### The Renovation Strip-Out

Kitchen and bathroom renovations produce a surprising amount of metal: copper pipe runs, ductwork, old sinks, radiators, and steel studs. Contractors book us to clear it between phases so the site stays workable.

### The Yard Pile

Metal left outside rusts, becomes a hazard, and eventually attracts complaints. Because scrap has recovery value at the recycler, this is one of the cheaper loads we handle.

## What It Costs

-   **Small load:** $49 to $89
-   **Moderate pile, garage or workshop volume:** $89 to $199
-   **Large or very heavy load:** $199 to $349

Metal is priced at the lower end of our range because of its recovery value. Fridges, freezers, and air conditioners follow the refrigerant route first, covered on

The Difference

## Why Choose Us For Scrap Metal Removal

### Sorted, Not Dumped

We separate ferrous from non-ferrous at the truck. Steel, aluminium, copper, and brass reach the right recycler rather than going into a mixed load.

### Heavy Items Handled

Cast iron radiators, boilers, and steel beams are dense and awkward. A two-person crew with dollies makes them a normal job rather than a hazard.

### Basements And Yards

Most scrap is in the worst place to reach it: a basement, a back yard, or behind a shed. We carry it out as part of the price.

### Cheap Because It Recycles

Scrap has recovery value, which is why metal loads sit at the lower end of our pricing compared with general waste.

Simple Process

## How Our Scrap Metal Removal Works

1.  01
    
    ### Describe The Metal
    
    Type, rough volume, and where it is sitting. Heavy items like radiators and boilers are noted upfront.
    
2.  02
    
    ### Book A Window
    
    Same-day or next-day. Small scrap pickups are quick and often fit into an existing route.
    
3.  03
    
    ### Load And Separate
    
    We carry it out and separate ferrous from non-ferrous as we load, so each stream reaches the right recycler.
    
4.  04
    
    ### To The Recycler
    
    Steel, aluminium, copper, and brass go to metal recyclers for recovery instead of landfill.

## Scrap Metal Removal FAQs

### How much does scrap metal removal cost in Toronto?

Small loads start at $49 to $89, a moderate pile is $89 to $199, and a large or very heavy load runs to $349. Metal sits at the lower end of our pricing because it has recovery value at the recycler.

### What counts as scrap metal?

Steel and iron are ferrous: railings, radiators, pipes, shelving, appliance shells, and tools. Aluminium, copper, brass, and stainless are non-ferrous: wiring, plumbing, gutters, and window frames. We take both and separate them as we load.

### Will you pay me for my scrap?

No. We are a removal service, not a scrap buyer. The recovery value is why metal loads are priced lower than general waste rather than being paid out as cash. For high-value non-ferrous loads, selling directly to a yard may be worth your time.

### Can you take a cast iron radiator or boiler?

Yes. These are among the heaviest items in a house and are exactly why a two-person crew with dollies exists. Tell us when you book so we allow the time.

### Do you take appliances as scrap?

Yes, though fridges, freezers, and air conditioners follow the refrigerant recovery route first because of the gas inside. See our appliance removal page for per-unit pricing.

### Can you clear metal from a construction site?

Yes. Offcuts, ductwork, conduit, rebar, and stripped fixtures are all handled, with recurring pickups available for contractors.

### What happens to the metal?

It goes to metal recyclers where ferrous and non-ferrous streams are processed separately and returned to manufacturing. Almost none of a metal load reaches landfill.

### Still have a question?

Call the crew directly and we will tell you straight whether we can take it and what it costs.
