Scrap Metal Prices
Scrap Metal Prices Newfoundland 2026
Current buy prices for steel, copper, aluminum, and automotive metals in Newfoundland. Updated weekly from Newfoundland yard surveys.
Newfoundland and Labrador's scrap metal market is defined by its geography: the island is accessible only by ferry or air, meaning all processed scrap metal must be shipped by sea to mainland facilities. This marine freight cost reduces what yards can pay — prices typically run 11–13% below Ontario for ferrous metals. St. John's is the dominant market, accounting for the vast majority of scrap volume. The province's oil industry, fishing fleet, and large truck population create a steady supply of heavy vehicles. To scrap a car in Newfoundland, you need your vehicle registration certificate issued by Service NL. Free towing is standard in the St. John's metro area including Mount Pearl and Paradise.
