Scrap Metal Recycling in Vancouver
Got a pile of scrap in the garage, on the job site, or out back of the shop? Bring it to Capital Salvage. We’re a family-owned scrap yard in East Vancouver, and we’ve been helping Vancouver homeowners, trades, and businesses turn their metal into something useful for years.
No runaround. No confusing process. Just a local crew that knows metal and treats you like a neighbour.
Your Local Scrap Yard in East Vancouver
We’re right here in the city, so you don’t have to haul your load out to the suburbs. Pull in, and our team will help you sort, weigh, and figure out what you’ve got. Whether it’s a single bucket of copper fittings or a truck full of steel, we’ll take care of it.
Vancouver has plenty of places to drop off metal. What sets us apart is how we treat people. We answer your questions, we explain what we see, and we make the whole thing easy.
What We Recycle
We accept a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including:
- Copper wire, pipe, and fittings
- Aluminum cans, siding, and extrusions
- Brass fixtures and valves
- Steel and iron
- Stainless steel
- Insulated wire and cable
Not sure if your material qualifies? Give us a call or send a photo. We’re happy to take a look.
Selling Scrap Metal in Vancouver
Yes, we buy scrap. Metal prices change with the market, so what we pay depends on the material, how clean it is, and current rates. The best way to get a clear answer is to bring it in or reach out. We’ll give you a straight quote on the spot.
Recycling That Stays Local
Every load that comes through our gate stays out of the landfill and goes back into use. That matters to us. We’re proud members of the Recycling Council of British Columbia, and we take our part in keeping Vancouver’s waste stream smaller seriously.
We also run a community program for local schools, teams, and nonprofits looking to raise funds through scrap metal drives. [Learn more about donating scrap metal in Vancouver.](link to Community & Fundraising page)
