A junk car
A junk car still has parts worth reusing. The engine may be good, the doors straight or the wheels saleable. Part of its value comes from those parts. See junk car removal.

Scrap Car Removal Edmonton
Some cars are past junk. The frame has rusted through, half the parts are gone, or the vehicle was badly burned or wrecked. Nobody will drive it again, and its remaining value is in the metal.
We pick up scrap cars anywhere in Edmonton for free, pay you for them, and send them to licensed recyclers instead of a ditch. Call or text 780-903-5585 for a quote.

A useful distinction
Junk car or scrap car?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but there is a practical difference. You do not need to decide which one you have—we will work it out.
A scrap car
A scrap car has little left to salvage. Its value is mostly the steel, aluminium and other metals, plus recoverable items such as the catalytic converter.
Rusted, stripped or wrecked
Cars we remove for scrap
If it is still a vehicle and you can prove ownership, there is a good chance we can remove it.
- Vehicles with severe rust through the frame, floors or rockers.
- Stripped shells and cars with major parts missing.
- Fire-damaged and flood-damaged vehicles.
- Heavily wrecked cars after a collision.
- Vehicles that have sat outdoors for many years.
- Old farm and acreage trucks that are past saving.
- Cars with no wheels, sitting on blocks or directly on the ground.
Keep hazardous material out of the ground
Why proper scrapping matters
An old car holds oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, fuel, a lead-acid battery and air-conditioning refrigerant.
Depollution
Fluids are drained and collected, the battery is removed, and refrigerant is recovered.
Parts recovery
Anything still usable—especially the catalytic converter—is removed for reuse or recovery.
Shredding
The remaining body is shredded so different metals can be separated.
Recycling
Steel and other metals are sold to become new products instead of leaking into Alberta soil or groundwater.

How scrap car removal works
Photos are especially helpful for scrap vehicles because missing parts and access affect the equipment needed.

Share the year, make, model, what is missing, and how the vehicle is sitting.

Receive cash or e-transfer before loading, plus a signed bill of sale.
Plan the recovery before the truck arrives
Getting the car out
Scrap cars are often the hardest vehicles to move. They may have sunk into dirt, lost their tires or become surrounded by brush.
- Tell us whether the car still has wheels and tires.
- Describe whether the ground is firm enough for a tow truck, especially during spring thaw.
- Explain how close a truck can get to the vehicle.
- Mention fencing, trees, brush, buildings or other vehicles blocking access.
- Send photos when possible so we bring the right equipment the first time.
Ownership first
What you need
Proper ownership documents are required before an end-of-life vehicle can enter the recycling process.
Proof of ownership and photo ID.
Old registration is fine even if it expired years ago, provided it shows that you own the car.
If the vehicle belonged to someone who has passed away, you need documents showing that you can sell it for the estate. Call first and we will explain what is required before pickup.
