Scrap Metal Prices
Scrap Metal Prices Prince Edward Island 2026
Current buy prices for steel, copper, aluminum, and automotive metals in Prince Edward Island. Updated weekly from Prince Edward Island yard surveys.
Prince Edward Island is Canada's smallest province — both by land area and scrap market size. All scrap metal leaving PEI must cross via the Confederation Bridge or be shipped by sea, adding transport costs that result in prices typically 9–11% below Ontario. The island's agricultural economy generates a substantial volume of heavy farm trucks and utility vehicles, which carry more steel and larger catalytic converters than a typical passenger car. Charlottetown yards serve the entire island efficiently given PEI's compact size. To scrap a car in PEI, you need your vehicle registration certificate issued by Access PEI. Return your plates to Access PEI after the transfer to cancel registration fees.
