Scrap Truck Buyers in Edmonton
A truck that's finished on the road is still one of the most valuable things you can scrap. Trucks are heavy, often have valuable converters, and come with extras like hitches, steel bumpers and service bodies that add weight. We buy scrap pickups and work trucks across the Edmonton region and price them for what they really weigh.

Why Scrap Trucks Are Worth More
Weight.
A half-ton pickup weighs roughly 2,000 to 2,500 kg, and a heavy-duty truck can be 3,000 kg or more. Compared with a compact car at about 1,300 kg, that's often close to double the steel.
Body-on-frame build.
Trucks have a separate heavy steel frame under the body, which adds metal.
Converters.
Larger engines, and especially diesels with emissions systems, can have more valuable catalytic converters and related parts.
Aluminum.
Some newer trucks use aluminum body panels, which are worth more per kilo than steel.
Add-ons.
Service bodies, flatdecks, headache racks, steel bumpers and toolboxes all add weight.

Scrap or Sell? Check First
Before scrapping, think about whether your truck has value beyond its metal. A truck with a good engine and transmission but a rusted frame, or a solid body with a dead engine, may be worth more as a parts or rebuild truck. Our old truck buying page covers that. When you call, we'll tell you which category gets you the better price.
Scrapping Multiple Trucks
Retiring several fleet or farm trucks? We'll quote each one and plan a single visit where possible. Company-owned vehicles need business ownership documents and a signature from someone authorized to sell.
