Scrap metal prices Montreal. Métaux Dépôt officially opened in November 1998 as a joint venture between AIM and W.I. Sandys; each one having been a major player in the Scrap Recycling industry for many years. Both firms brought with them their own set of skills and expertise: one being an international metals trader and refiner, with plants in Canada, U.S.A. and Mexico, and offices worldwide; and the other being a leader in retail metal management. The synergy of the two firms proved to be an extremely successful formula, and in the course of a few years, AIM has continued it’s plan of international expansion, while Métaux Dépôt has established itself among the leaders in the recycling industry in Montreal, serving 75,000 customers annually in a modern, state of the art facility, constantly upgrading and innovating to better serve their customers. When we buy #1 Copper or Aluminum Extrusions, we are extremely conscious of anything that will compromise the quality of these items. #1 Copper Specifications at the foundry are very strict, as are the specifications for Aluminum Extrusions. #1 Copper can have no solder, lead, tin, silver, brass, excessive dirt or oil. Aluminum Extrusions can only be 6061 or 6063 Aluminum with no zinc or steel attachments. Not just 99% clean, but 100% clean. At Metaux Depot, we have always strived to get our customers in and out in as short a time as possible, although, to be honest, some customers hang around and chat with the staff, check their “Depot- Points” card to see what they can redeem, have a complimentary cup of coffee or have a hot dog or two at the hot dog tent, also available free of charge all summer. Most of the regulars know us by name, and we know most of them by name also. In the Steel Yard , working in a completely paved yard helps keep up morale. No more unloading in ankle high mud, the yard is easy to keep clean in summer and winter. Our Office is three person collaboration. Louis, the veteran of the group, is there to weigh your trucks and advise about steel quality and Steelyard procedures. He will be the first person you see when selling steel. Carmen is the office problem solver and knows almost every customer by name. Aside from taking care of all our office needs.
