Scrap Metal Prices
Scrap Metal Prices Quebec 2026
Current buy prices for steel, copper, aluminum, and automotive metals in Quebec. Updated weekly from Quebec yard surveys.
Quebec is the second-largest scrap metal market in Canada, with an active yard network in the Montreal metropolitan area, Laval, and Quebec City. Prices in Quebec run 2–4% below Ontario on ferrous metals, largely due to Quebec's mix of domestic steel consumers and export routing through the Port of Montreal. The Montreal market is particularly competitive — multiple large processors operate in and around the city, keeping buy prices close to Ontario levels. To scrap a car in Quebec, you'll need your vehicle registration certificate (certificat d'immatriculation). SAAQ handles vehicle registration in the province. Most Montreal yards offer bilingual service and free towing within the metro area and Laval. Prices updated weekly.
