What Actually Happens
Four stages, in this order, at certified Alberta facilities.
The difference between a licensed recycler and a random trailer starts after pickup.
◈
Stage 2 — Parts recovery
Reusable components are inventoried rather than shredded. A complete vehicle is worth more than a stripped one for this reason.
◈
Stage 3 — Metals separation
Catalytic converters and non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, radiators, and copper wiring are handled separately.
◈
Stage 4 — Shredding and steel recovery
The remaining shell is shredded and the steel re-enters the supply chain.
Why Licensed Matters
Using a licensed buyer actually matters in Calgary.
Ask any buyer two questions: where does the vehicle go, and will you give me a signed bill of sale? A legitimate operator answers both immediately.
What You Get In Writing
Documented properly, not just removed.
Keep the paperwork. It is what proves ownership transferred and your liability ended.
01
A signed bill of sale showing the date, both parties, the vehicle and VIN, the price, and that it is sold for dismantling and recycling
02
One copy for you and one for us
03
Disposal documentation on request for business, fleet, property management, or compliance files
What We Accept For Scrapping
Complete, partial, commercial, estate, and long-parked vehicles.
Complete and partial vehicles, non-runners, mechanically dead vehicles, and rust write-offs
Hail and collision write-offs, flood and water-damaged vehicles, and failed-inspection vehicles
Abandoned and long-parked vehicles, unfinished projects, stripped shells, and estate vehicles with authorization
Fleet and commercial units, farm vehicles, and acreage vehicles
Commercial unit note
- Tell us in advance if a commercial unit carried fuel, chemicals, produced water, or drilling fluid.
- Mention mounted tanks or residual contents before dispatch.
- That rarely stops the job. It changes the handling and disposal plan.
After Pickup
Your two remaining jobs are plates and insurance.
Remove your plates before we arrive, then use the bill of sale to cancel insurance the same day.
✓
Return your plates to an Alberta registry agent. Plates belong to you, not the vehicle. This cancels the registration, may refund unused fees, and protects you if those plates ever surface on another car.
✓
Cancel your insurance the same day. Use the bill of sale as proof of sale and ask about a refund on the unused premium.
✓
Do not skip either. If you do, the vehicle can remain registered to you in the record with the liability that carries.
FAQ
The questions that matter before you scrap it.
Cost, documentation, partial vehicles, and what happens after pickup.
Is scrap car removal free?
Yes, and we pay you. Towing, paperwork, and disposal cost you nothing.
How is a scrap car different from a junk car?
Practically, they overlap. Scrap emphasizes material value rather than vehicle use. Either way, we buy it.
Do you buy vehicles that are already partly stripped?
Yes, though a stripped shell is worth less than a complete vehicle. Tell us what is missing so the quote holds.
Will my car definitely be recycled and not resold?
Vehicles we buy for scrapping are dismantled and recycled, not returned to the road.
Do you take flood-damaged cars?
Yes. Mention it so we can plan for contaminated fluids and silt.
Can you provide proof of disposal?
Yes. Ask when you call.
