Every Part of Edmonton
Pickup coverage that actually reflects how large Edmonton is
Edmonton has over 400 neighbourhoods across a wide footprint. When the vehicle does not run, what matters is whether a buyer will still come to your side of the city without turning distance into an excuse.
We schedule pickups across central streets, suburban crescents, industrial yards, condo parkades, acreages just outside the city, and the surrounding commuter towns.

Built for Edmonton Winters — Not Calgary's
Edmonton kills vehicles differently than anywhere south of here, and most car buyers won't explain why.
We don't get chinook relief. A chinook can swing Calgary from -17°C to +9°C in a weekend. The same system might take Edmonton from -21°C to -1°C. Calgary thaws; Edmonton just stops being dangerous for a few days. So a vehicle that dies here in December doesn't get a warm week to be dealt with — it becomes part of the snowbank until April. We still come and get it.
Deep-freeze failures are our number-one call. Edmonton regularly sits near -30°C with wind chills close to -40 — cold enough that this city has been colder than the North Pole. Cracked blocks, split radiators, dead batteries, gelled diesel, failed block-heater cords, calipers seized solid. A cracked block on a 15-year-old car ends it outright.
Potholes destroy suspensions. Edmonton's pothole problem runs close to year-round, and the City's own reporting has tied repair performance to precipitation and repeated freeze-thaw cycling. The damage is specific and expensive: bent rims, blown struts, cracked sidewalls, worn control arms and tie rods, alignment that never holds. On an older car, front-end work costs more than the vehicle is worth — and that's the day it becomes a scrap car.
Salt and calcium chloride rot the underside. Months of de-icer on the Henday, Whitemud and Yellowhead eat frames, brake lines, exhaust and rocker panels from beneath.
Winter collisions. One snowy deep-freeze weekend here has produced well over 400 reported collisions. If your insurer wrote your vehicle off but let you keep the salvage, we'll pay you cash for it on top of the payout.
Derelict Vehicle on Your Property? Know Where You Stand
Worth reading, because many Edmonton owners don't realise their position.
A dead vehicle is not just an inconvenience. In the wrong place, it becomes a timeline, a complaint file, or a property issue that still has to be solved by the owner.
The practical version is simple: understand the pressure points, then deal with the vehicle before someone else forces the issue.
General information, not legal advice
For your specific property situation, call 311 or read the bylaw directly.
Public street
72 hours can be enough on a city street
A vehicle left on public property or a city street for more than 72 consecutive hours can be treated as abandoned, even with no signs posted.
Private property
A derelict vehicle becomes the owner's problem
The City treats wrecked, dismantled, or derelict vehicles as a nuisance on private property, and removal falls to the property owner rather than the City.
Enforcement path
311 files usually start with a complaint
These situations typically move through Edmonton's Community Standards process, often because a neighbour reports the vehicle rather than an inspector spotting it first.
What To Know Before You Sell
The practical side of selling a dead, scrap, or work vehicle in Edmonton
Operational pickups
Fleet, Industrial and Multi-Vehicle Pickups
Edmonton is an industrial city, and yards accumulate dead vehicles. If you're a contractor, farm, dealership or property manager, call with a count rather than one at a time. Clearing six vehicles in one visit costs us far less than six separate trips, and that efficiency shows up in your total.
We regularly buy from Refinery Row and Alberta's Industrial Heartland, the Nisku and Leduc service yards, Acheson, and the Papaschase, Davies, Coronet and Winterburn districts. Highway 63 and 43 crew trucks are routine. Heavy trucks often carry more recoverable steel than passenger cars, so a mechanically finished truck with a straight body can still hold real value.
If a vehicle is not registered to you, it cannot legally be sold. Call and we'll explain what documentation would be required first.
Pricing
How Much Is My Car Worth?
Your offer comes down to the live scrap steel price, vehicle weight, reusable parts such as the catalytic converter, alloy wheels, and any working drivetrain pieces, plus overall condition and current parts demand.
Only a live quote is accurate. Call (780) 719-2120 for a no-obligation number, and be sceptical of suspiciously high phone quotes that shrink once the truck arrives. Our on-site number matches the quote unless the vehicle is materially different from how it was described.
Environmental handling
Recycled Properly, Not Dumped
Every vehicle goes through a regulated sequence at certified Alberta facilities: depollution, battery removal, parts recovery, metals separation, and then shredding so the steel can be recycled.
Depollution is the part unlicensed operators skip, and the part that actually matters. In a city built around the North Saskatchewan River valley, keeping oil, coolant, and fuel out of the ground is not optional theatre.
Paperwork
Selling a Car in Alberta
You need to be the registered owner, at least 18, and able to show ownership plus valid photo ID. We provide the signed bill of sale and you keep a copy.
- Bring proof of ownership in your name and valid government-issued photo ID.
- Remove and return your plates to an Alberta registry agent after pickup.
- Cancel your insurance the same day using the bill of sale as proof of sale.
- Clear any lien first through Alberta's Personal Property Registry before selling.
No title, lost registration, lien, or estate paperwork? Those situations are common. Start with ownership being legally established, then call us.
