    Shred prices have not moved up yet here in Montreal, but some Toronto yards currently buy at CAD 395 / mt (USD 280 / ton). Both cities have a mill in their greater area and both have a good transportation network. Cost of life is indeed higher in T.O. and prices are always better there, but I feel like prices are kept artificially very low by the lack of concurrence around here.

    NEW TO SCRAPPING? READ THIS: Build up your horde of magnetic and non-magnetic metals in two piles until you have a better understanding of the business. Magnetic material has low value and is mostly always steel / shred / short iron. Read old threads about non-magnetic metals and ewaste (and how to sort them), but don't forget that they generally have absolutely no tolerance for contamination (screw / iron / foreign material).

    Montreal being a port city like Chicago you should be getting at least as much as I do, probably more. I get an inflated price due to dealer volume but even if you don't get dealer pricing you should still get more than me at any port city.
