I have some railing that came out of my house renovation...about 4 floors worth of it, and was wondering if anyone knows where I could go do cash it in. It seems like a waste to throw it in a dump run.
You get 50% if you come and take it!

federal metals or Calgary metals
heloc that shit
Seriously dude... scrap metal is so not worth it. I think it's at around 85$ per tonne right now for scrap. Navajo require full body armor (steel toes, saftey glasses, long sleeve, and a hard hat) and there's a fat fuck ray of sunshine at the gate that will make sure you have all that, and they're mostly assholes in there anyways. Federal are picky as hell about what they take, they always seem to have an angle to not be accepting any of what you have on that particular day. Calgary Metals is your best bet, (friendlier and you could go in there in flip flops if you want) but the lineups are huge. You could be there an hour for barely enough for beer money, best bet is to get a free scrap hauler kijiji guy, trust me you're gonna be disappointed if you take all that time to DIY. Good luck.
ill haul it for free, what part of the city are you in?
haha....I want to meet this Ray guy.Originally posted by heavyfuel

Probably $15 max for 4 floors of railings. Really not worth it.
We take all ours to Blackfoot Metals normally and don't even bother waiting in line. Just have the guys throw it in a pile and leave - no point having a guy that costs $25.00/hr sit in line for an hour for $20.00.
Unless it's copper or aluminum don't plan on getting more then what your gas cost will be.

Maybe someone can repaint them and reuse them?

My list of random For Sale (some free) stuff
Westcan Recyclers is probably your best bet. I know a ton of Beyonders hit up that place because they actually give fair prices on scrap. I would never ever go to blackfoot. Used them in the past for out companies and they were rippin us off.

I used to haul scrap with my Dad years ago to Westcan recyclers when these guys were just a tiny outfit - such nice people.Originally posted by 7thgenvic

I just got back into Calgary a month ago and went googling to get rid of some stuff my Dad left and old parts from the lude - found their website www.westcanrecyclers.com emailed them for pricing and then went back in 2 weeks ago and the place is 100 times bigger now.
All you people that complain about hour long waits or unfair pricing - go check them out. They have a fair amount of traffic but I've never waited longer then 20 minutes from arrival to cash in my hand. Westcan's been really good to us for the better part of the last 8 years so bump for those guys!
Do they accept blown motors?

Ya they do. But you have to drain all the fluids out of the thing before anyone will take it from you.
