Scrap Car Market in Calgary
Calgary's oil-patch economy and outdoor lifestyle mean the city has an unusually high concentration of trucks and large SUVs — some of the most valuable vehicles by weight in the scrap market. Calgary yards are accustomed to handling heavy-duty pickups and pay accordingly. Cold Alberta winters and road salt create consistent vehicle wear, keeping the scrap market active year-round across all four quadrants of the city.
