for your metal
Know before you go
We take a lot of stuff, but we play by the rules.
Due to provincial laws that are in effect in all scrap yards in BC, you must provide a valid, hard-copy BCID or a driver’s license from anywhere in Canada or the USA. Under the provincial metal dealers and recyclers’ regulation, we are unable to accept the new BC health services card.
