Scrap Metal Pickup Markham: Serving York Region’s Tech Hub and Its Garages
Markham is a large city in York Region, northeast of Toronto, bordered by Steeles Avenue East to the south and Scarborough just across it. Central Markham is roughly 30 km from downtown Toronto. The city is best known for its technology and business parks along Highway 404 and Highway 407, but it also has plenty of industrial units, dealerships and independent auto-service shops serving a large, car-dependent population.
Our scrap metal pickup Markham service covers the whole city. If you have converters, rims, rotors, copper, used parts or a car that will never run again, call (647) 915-5440. We come to you, load everything ourselves and pay cash on the spot.
Main routes through Markham
Highway 404 runs along the west side, Highway 407 ETR crosses the middle, and Highway 7 runs east-west through Unionville and Markham Centre. Highway 48, known locally as Markham Road, heads north through Markham Village. Kennedy Road, McCowan Road, Warden Avenue, Woodbine Avenue, 16th Avenue, Major Mackenzie Drive, 14th Avenue and Steeles Avenue East round out the grid. Our trucks travel these roads every day, which keeps scrap metal pickup Markham wait times short.
Industrial and Auto-Service Areas in Markham
Markham’s commercial land is spread across several clusters. These are the areas where we most often collect automotive scrap:
- The Highway 404 and 407 business parks: mostly offices and tech firms, but also service yards, fleets and maintenance facilities.
- Steelcase Road and the Denison Street area: industrial units with machine shops, body shops and repair bays.
- Woodbine Avenue corridor: commercial and light-industrial strip with dealerships and service centres.
- Markham Road and the Highway 48 corridor: older commercial strip through Markham Village with garages and tire shops.
- The Steeles Avenue East border with Scarborough: industrial pockets around Milliken with auto-service businesses.
Communities we serve
We pick up across Unionville, Markham Village, Markham Centre, Cornell, Box Grove, Berczy Village, Cathedraltown, Wismer, Greensborough, Angus Glen, Milliken, Cachet and the Markham side of Thornhill. We also reach rural properties toward Stouffville and the Rouge on the east side.
What Markham Shops and Residents Can Sell
- Catalytic converters: graded individually by type. Platinum, palladium and rhodium content varies by model. See sell catalytic converters.
- Alloy, steel and chrome rims: damaged wheels from tire changes and curb damage. See scrap alloy rims and wheels.
- Brake rotors and drums: cast iron from brake jobs.
- Copper and brass: radiators, heater cores, wiring harnesses, fittings and plumbing leftovers.
- Aluminum: transmission cases, heads, manifolds and condensers.
- Car parts: engines, transmissions, alternators, starters and exhaust. See sell scrap car parts.
- Batteries: lead-acid car and truck batteries.
- Junk cars: whole vehicles, running or not.
How Scrap Metal Pickup Markham Works
- Call (647) 915-5440 or send photos and your address or nearest intersection.
- Get a free quote based on today’s metal and converter markets.
- Pick a time. Same-day pickup is often available in Markham.
- We do the loading from your bay, yard, garage or driveway.
- Get paid on the spot in cash or by e-Transfer.
Every seller shows valid government photo ID. For catalytic converters and junk cars we record the transaction, and selling a car requires the vehicle ownership permit signed over. That is how responsible buyers work, and it helps keep stolen parts out of circulation.
Who Books Scrap Metal Pickup Markham Service?
Independent mechanics and body shops
Shops on Steelcase Road, Denison Street and Markham Road often run several bays with tight storage. A regular scrap metal pickup Markham schedule keeps them clear. Our post on the scrap program for mechanic, tire and muffler shops explains how it works.
Dealerships and service centres
Markham has many dealerships, particularly along Woodbine Avenue and Highway 7. Their service departments produce converters, wheels, rotors and batteries in volume. We sort and grade mixed loads so each material is paid correctly.
Tire and muffler shops
Seasonal changeovers leave tire shops with stacks of damaged rims, while muffler shops collect converters and pipes. We weigh and grade on site.
Homeowners and families
Markham homeowners call us for old cars, rims in the garage and copper or brass from renovations. Older homes in Markham Village and Unionville often have copper plumbing and cast iron to clear out during upgrades.
Copper, Brass and Wiring: Markham’s Hidden Value
Because Markham has so many newer homes, offices and tech facilities, we often see clean copper and brass alongside automotive scrap. Copper is one of the most valuable common scrap metals, so it pays to handle it properly.
- Bare bright copper: clean, unalloyed wire or pipe with no coatings, usually the highest grade.
- #2 copper: copper with paint, solder or light corrosion.
- Insulated wire: priced on its copper content, so heavier-gauge wire is worth more.
- Yellow brass: fittings, valves and plumbing parts, kept separate from copper.
- Radiators: copper-brass and aluminum radiators are graded differently, so keep them apart.
Sorting these before your scrap metal pickup Markham visit makes grading faster and your payout fairer.
Selling a Junk Car in Markham
If your car failed its safety, has major engine or transmission trouble, or has simply been sitting, we will buy it and tow it away for free. Complete cars with the engine, wheels and converter in place usually earn better offers.
Remove your plates and personal items, have your ID and ownership permit ready, and contact your insurer once the car is gone. See our guide on how to sell a junk car in Ontario and our cash for junk cars page.

Planning Your Scrap Metal Pickup Markham Appointment
A few simple steps help your pickup go quickly, whether you are a business or a homeowner.
For shops and industrial units
Let us know where the truck can park and whether there is a rear loading door or a forklift for pallets. Many units on Steelcase Road and Denison Street share lots with neighbours, so a short heads-up avoids blocking anyone in. Mid-morning or early afternoon is usually easiest, away from rush hour on Highway 404 and Highway 7.
For homes and townhouses
Clear a path to the car or the pile, move other vehicles if the junk car is blocked in, and let us know about any gates or narrow side yards. If the car has flat tires or no keys, tell us when you call. We can still take it.
For condo residents in Markham Centre
Newer condo buildings around Markham Centre and Highway 7 often have underground parking. Check the clearance height and book the loading area or service elevator with management before your scrap metal pickup Markham appointment.
For regular sellers
If you produce scrap every week, ask about a recurring pickup. There is no contract, and you can change the schedule any time. Call (647) 915-5440 to set it up.
