For Canadian scrap yards
Run a yard? We're buying.
We purchase non-ferrous and ferrous scrap directly from local yards, auto dismantlers and demolition contractors — regular offtake or one-off lots. Export-market demand means we can often bid above local mill prices.

Send photos and approximate tonnage — we come back with a real number, not a maybe.

Where we buy
Supply side — Canada
We source ferrous and non-ferrous scrap from yards, auto dismantlers, demolition contractors and industrial generators across Canada — based in Hamilton, Ontario, in the heart of the country's steel belt.
Where it goes
Demand side — worldwide
Material is supplied to steel mills, foundries, secondary smelters and recyclers — domestic buyers and overseas consuming markets — containerised or in bulk, with the documentation each destination requires.
Our services
One partner, the whole trade.
From sourcing and grading through documentation and delivery, Vertex Oversea handles every leg of the trade under one point of contact.
01
Material sourcing
Direct relationships with yards, auto dismantlers, demolition contractors and industrial generators across Canada — we go to our network first, not the spot market.
02
Grade verification
Every lot is checked against a written ISRI-grade spec before it moves — grade, recovery, moisture and contamination agreed up front, not disputed later.
03
Buyer–seller matching
We connect Canadian supply with the right consuming mill, foundry or smelter — handled by one point of contact from inquiry to delivery.
04
Export & logistics
Containerised or bulk, FOB to CIF. We coordinate inland freight, container loading, ocean freight and delivery to your facility or port.
05
Documentation & compliance
Weight certificates, ISRI grading records and full export/import paperwork prepared with every consignment so shipments clear customs cleanly.
06
Settlement on agreed terms
Price basis and payment terms fixed in writing before pickup, and honoured on certified-scale weighment — every load, every time.
