We have worked in the scrap metal industry in Winnipeg for a number of years and have helped people who are learning about it for equally as long. While we have done our absolute best to guide people's learning so that they adhere to all of the relevant rules in any particular province, there are always people who think that they can simply do as they please. It is unfortunate that it is these people that run into issues when attempting to make some money from their scrap metal. The most important thing to consider if you are planning on selling scrap metal for money in Winnipeg is the regulations governing its sale.
Winnipeg has approximately 750,000 people living in it, it is the capital of Canada's province of Manitoba and so there is a lot of people there who are involved in the scrap metal industry. As a result of a significant wave of metal theft throughout the past 20 years, there have been ever harshening rules introduced to curb this. Consequently, it can be quite difficult to sell scrap metal in Winnipeg if you are an individual and not a registered company. The main things to remember before heading to a local scrap yard is that they will absolutely need to see your identification before they will sell you anything. Scrap dealers who do not ask for identification are risking being penalised by the central government or province of Manitoba. Consequently, the vast majority will and so you should ensure that you have it on your person upon arrival.
The prices of scrap metal in Winnipeg are very strong due to its location and the current high demand for many forms of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The best prices can be found at the following recycling centres; Industrial Metals, Gerdau Metals Recycling - Winnipeg and Orloff Scrap Metals.
