Acier Century

Acier Century is a pioneer in metal recycling. Serving individuals as well as commercial clients since 1924, Acier Century has successfully established itself as a leader in the industry due to its expertise, the continuously updated and technologically advanced equipment, and especially thanks to our team of professionals who are proud to be part of the family.

Scrap Metal Buying Process
Our automated system is efficient and seamless:
How to proceed when selling to us. Upon arrival, if you have:

Ferrous Metals (iron, steel, cast iron …)

1) Your vehicle with all your metal content is weighed on our 80 foot scale.
2) You proceed to the yard at the back where your metal is unloaded.
3) We weigh your vehicle again upon your exit to calculate the weight difference. The type of metal sold is factored in to calculate the total amount you receive.
4) You make your way to the reception to get a receipt and proceed to the ATM to receive your payment.

Non-Ferrous Metals (copper, lead, aluminum, …)

1) Park your vehicle in the designated lot where you will be given a container to unload your metals.
2) A forklift service is available to bring your container to the plant where the metal will be weighed, sorted, and placed in the appropriate bins. A Niton metal analyzer is used to verify the metal composition and to recycle them properly.
3) Head to the reception with your scale ticket (list of your metals and weight). We take into consideration all types of metals to evaluate the total amount you will receive at the ATM.

If you have ferrous or non-ferrous metals, you go through both steps before heading to the reception to get your receipt. An employee will be available to assist you at all times.
