    Default Where to sell your scrap aluminum rims in Calgary?

    I have several scrap 17"&18" aluminum rims and just want to find a recycling place in Calgary that offers reasonable price for them.

    Thanks!

    Calgary Metals.

    Edit: I've also dealt with Empire Metals. They were easy to deal with too.

    Metal prices fluctuate on a day to day basis. Call tomorrow and ask what an aluminum rim is worth.

    Westcan. East on Glenmore, North on 68th about 3/4 km. They are by far the friendliest and most efficient place in town. Fair market prices, not buddy vs. schmuck prices like Calgary Metals, my metal guys were getting $50 more than I was per tonne a while back, even though over 50% of what they were hauling came from me. If you don't know somebody there on a drinking basis you're gonna get way under market prices for anything. Navajo is even worse if you're not a regular, and they're even ruder.

    Went to Westcan. Easy/smooth, and they offered me fair market price last saturday- 105lb of scrap alum rims@ $59 dollars.

    The only thing is they checked two pieces of your IDs, so bring them.

    Thanks guys!
