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.
Export-parity pricing
Our overseas order book lets us pay competitively on HMS, shredded feed, copper, aluminium and stainless.
We handle the logistics
Bins, pickup and trucking arranged. Weighment at certified scales, documents done properly.
Payment as agreed
Terms fixed before pickup and honoured on weighment — every load, every time.
Why Vertex
Built like a trading desk,
not a junkyard.
01
Specification first
Every lot is traded against a written spec — ISRI grade, recovery, moisture, contamination limits — so both sides know exactly what changes hands.
02
Inspection & documentation
Pre-shipment inspection, weighbridge slips, photos of loading and complete export-import documentation with every consignment.
03
Logistics handled
Containerised or bulk, FOB to CIF — we coordinate freight, customs and delivery windows so material arrives when your furnace needs it.
