Calgary is one of the largest cities in Canada and so, with over 1.5 million inhabitants, Calgary has some truly awesome opportunities when it comes to making some cash by selling scrap metal.

In much the same way as in any other provinces or cities in Canada, in order to sell scrap metal in Calgary you need to have a valid photo identification. Most people who trade scrap metal bring along a passport or their driving license, however there are many other valid forms of identification too. Furthermore, in Calgary it is a requirement to have the entire transaction of scrap metals recorded on video and the scrap yard dealer has to take photographic evidence of any newly acquired metals too. These laws or restrictions can vary from item to item, for example cars are notoriously difficult to scrap in Calgary. The dealer must keep hold of the license plate number and take down some detailed information on various components of the car too.

Scrap dealers in Calgary DO NOT PAY BY CHEQUE, THEY ALL PAY IN CASH. In fact, some of them currently have ATM type machines that simply require you to SCAN THE BAR CODE ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR RECEIPT that has detailed information on all of the Scrap you just dropped off, and the machine dispenses both bills and coins in the exact amount printed on your receipt. So that's quite handy!
