Saint John yards are among the best-connected in Atlantic Canada due to short transport distances to the port's export terminal. Moncton is the province's largest metro area and the regional hub for Greater Moncton. NB prices run roughly 6–7% below Ontario for ferrous metals and 5–6% below for copper and aluminum. To scrap a car in New Brunswick, you need your vehicle registration certificate — Service New Brunswick (SNB) can issue a replacement at any SNB location. Free towing is standard in Saint John and Moncton.
