ScrapTrade.ca is an independent information resource built to help people understand how global metal exchange benchmarks like the LME actually flow through into the local scrap price a buyer offers you.
Why We Built This
Scrap prices can feel arbitrary if you don’t understand where they actually come from. They’re not arbitrary — they’re derived from global commodity benchmarks, adjusted for grade, currency, and local costs. We built this site to make that connection clear.
Part of the ScrapTrade Network
ScrapTrade.ca is part of the ScrapTrade network — an online scrap trading marketplace connecting verified buyers and sellers of scrap metal, e-waste, batteries, and more. Where this site focuses on understanding how pricing actually works, ScrapTrade is where you put that understanding to use: list your material, compare real offers, and get paid through secure escrow with transparent weighing.
What We’re Not
We’re not a scrap buyer or a commodity exchange, and we don’t handle transactions directly through this site — this is an information resource explaining how pricing works. For the actual buying and selling, head to ScrapTrade.
Understanding how global benchmarks flow into your local offer helps you evaluate any quote with confidence. ScrapTrade connects verified buyers and sellers with transparent, benchmark-referenced pricing.
