Founded in 2010, DWN Metals operates a fully managed scrap metal export chain. We purchase ferrous and non-ferrous material directly from Canadian generators, handle all ocean freight logistics, and deliver to mill buyers across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East — at prices domestic buyers simply can't match.
We purchase ferrous and non-ferrous scrap across all major ISRI grades. Pricing is LME-linked and updated every business day.
Heavy Melting Steel — our highest-volume grade. Structural steel, beams, plates, and heavy industrial scrap free of galvanized or alloyed material.
Auto body shred and mixed ferrous from industrial shredder operations. Accepted from registered shredder yards with documented load data.
Heavy cast iron, machine castings, and plate scrap. Preferred clean and uncoated. Segregated loads attract premium pricing.
Bare bright, #1 copper, #2 copper, copper birch & candy, and insulated wire. All grades accepted at competitive LME-linked daily rates.
6061 / 6063 extrusions, cast aluminum, UBC (used beverage cans), and mixed aluminum. De-coated material preferred for premium rates.
304, 316, and 430 stainless steel. High-temp alloys, nickel-based scrap, and titanium accepted by arrangement with material certificates.
A fully managed 5-step process — no third-party brokers, no disconnected freight agents. One point of contact, from collection to delivery.
DWN schedules pickup directly from your facility or scrap yard. We handle transport, on-site baling, or shredding as required.
All material is segregated by grade, certified to ISRI specifications, and weighed on certified certified scales. Full documentation issued.
Graded scrap is stuffed into 20/40-ft FCL containers at a certified Canadian loading facility with B13A export declaration completed.
Ocean freight departs from Vancouver, Halifax, or Montreal to mills in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Bill of lading, marine insurance, and destination customs clearance managed end-to-end.
Receiving mills melt and re-roll material into steel billets, rebar, and non-ferrous ingots. DWN coordinates inspection and final weight reconciliation at the destination facility.
From yard pickup to mill delivery — DWN handles every step so you don't deal with brokers, freight forwarders, or customs agents separately.
We buy directly from demolition firms, steel mills, fabricators, and certified scrap yards across Canada. Daily price offers with no volume minimums.

Most exporters take spot bids and hope for the best. DWN holds pre-negotiated supply agreements with 30+ mills across Asia and Europe. That means locked pricing and no last-minute renegotiation.
Clean HMS 1, bare bright copper, and 6061 extrusions consistently fetch above-market rates from DWN because our facility can use premium grades directly — no re-sorting cost.
Every shipment complies with CBSA export regulations, Environment Canada hazardous material rules, and Basel Convention requirements. We handle all B13A filings and origin certifications.
EFT payment typically within 3 business days of container gate-out. No net-30, no escrow games. We've paid on time to every supplier for 15 years.
“We run 3 yards and sell HMS and structural steel exclusively to DWN. Price is always at or above what the domestic mills offer, pickup never misses, and payment hits our account within 72 hours of gate-out. No other exporter operates this cleanly.”
“Switched our copper and aluminum to DWN two years ago. Immediate 9% price improvement on bare bright and another 6% on 6061 extrusions. Their LME-linked bulletins are accurate and their material reps actually understand the grades — rare in this space.”
“DWN's mill network is the differentiator. When you're dealing directly with the buyers who melt the material, you get honest pricing and real accountability. They've handled our stainless and specialty alloy loads without flinching — grades other exporters won't touch.”
