Recycling Resources. Supporting Industry. Sustaining the Planet.

Learn how Canwest Recycling became a trusted leader in buying and selling rubber and metal scrap across North America and beyond.

At Canwest Recycling, we believe that waste is only waste when it's mismanaged. We’re in the business of unlocking value from industrial byproducts — transforming rubber and metal scrap into raw material for global industries. With deep roots in the recycling sector and a reputation for reliability, we help partners divert waste from landfills and put it back into the supply chain where it belongs.

Our story began with rubber. From baled passenger tires and tire chips to shredded rubber and butyl tubes, we built a name in rubber scrap trading by combining market insight with hands-on execution. As demand grew, so did our capabilities — and today, we also offer ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, including HMS, aluminum, copper, and more. This evolution reflects our goal: to be a single, trusted source for high-quality recycled material.

Whether you’re a recycler looking to move material in bulk or a manufacturer sourcing consistent-grade scrap, we simplify the process. Our team handles everything from sourcing and quality checks to logistics and compliance — ensuring your operations run smoothly, and your material arrives exactly when and where you need it.

What sets us apart is our commitment to transparency, consistency, and long-term partnership. We understand the pain points that come with material trading — price volatility, unclear specs, shipping delays — and we proactively manage them through reliable systems and real communication. That’s how we build trust, load after load.

Canwest also brings logistics expertise to the table. With operations across North America and partnerships that span international borders, we coordinate safe, compliant transport for every shipment. Whether it's tires to Texas or copper to Korea, we make sure your material moves efficiently and securely.

At our core, we’re more than just brokers — we’re sustainability enablers. Every transaction we manage supports a more circular economy and a lower environmental footprint. When you work with Canwest, you're not only choosing a dependable supplier or buyer — you're choosing to do business in a smarter, more sustainable way.
