Scrap Car Market in Charlottetown
Charlottetown is the capital and largest city on Prince Edward Island — Canada's most densely populated province and its smallest by land area. PEI's scrap car market is compact but active: the island's agricultural economy cycles through a large number of farm trucks and utility vehicles annually, and the tourist season brings additional road traffic that accelerates vehicle wear. Scrap prices on PEI are typically 9–10% below Ontario due to the Confederation Bridge transport costs (or ferry, for metal that ships by sea). Charlottetown yards serve the entire island efficiently given PEI's small size — no location on the island is more than 90 minutes from the capital, which keeps free towing zones broad.

How much is a scrap car worth in Charlottetown?

Is free towing available in Charlottetown?
Yes — most PEI scrap yards include free towing throughout the greater Charlottetown area including Stratford, Cornwall, and Winsloe. Given the island's compact size, many yards offer free pickup island-wide for higher-value vehicles.
What paperwork is needed to scrap a car in PEI?
Prince Edward Island requires the vehicle registration certificate issued by Access PEI. If yours is lost, a replacement is available at any Access PEI location. Return your plates to Access PEI after the transfer to cancel registration fees.
Do PEI yards buy farm trucks and equipment?
