Who operates SMASH
SmashScrap.ca LTD operates SMASH — Scrap Metal Auction Sales Hub. The platform brings inventory records, photos, sealed bids and sale documentation into one workspace for recycling businesses. smashrecycling.ca serves Canadian audiences and smashscrap.com presents U.S. information; both use the same platform.
Contact the SMASH team for onboarding or help with your account. Check each sale's currency, taxes and terms before trading.
Our Mission
SMASH was purpose-built for catalytic converter trading — and everything that goes along with it. From cats to copper, ferrous to non-ferrous, auto parts and more, the platform handles everything your yard processes.
Trading scrap has always been opaque. Yards process inventory without a clear picture of exactly what they have — and buyers bid on lots without really knowing what's in them. That guesswork costs both sides money. Sellers leave value on the table, and buyers overpay or walk away from good deals.
SMASH changes that. We give sellers the tools to document, photograph, and track every item — catalytic converters with serial numbers and VINs, metals by type and weight, and everything else. Buyers get the detailed information they need to bid with confidence. Auction trading requires account approval and applicable business verification. Auction sales are strictly B2B.

Why SMASH?
Commission-Based Auctions
Listing auction inventory is free — you pay a commission on completed auction sales. The SMASH SCRAP FEED is a separate monthly membership for reading and responding to live feed listings.
Purpose-Built for Scrap Trading
SMASH isn't a generic auction site. It was built from the ground up for catalytic converter trading and all scrap metals — with serial number tracking, VIN recording, photo documentation, weight-based pricing, and tools designed for how yards and buyers actually work.
Regional Currency and Tax Context
Information for American recycling yards, with USD reference pricing and state sales tax context. Check each sale's accepted currencies, taxes and terms before trading.
Metal Market References
Commodity reference prices provide market context. Market references are not yard payouts or sale offers.
Inventory Management
Track every converter with serial numbers and VINs. Organize all your scrap — ferrous, non-ferrous, auto parts — into boxes and lots. Get a complete, clear picture of your inventory before you sell.
Account Access Controls
Accounts support two-factor authentication. Access is controlled by account role and organization. Auction trading requires account approval and applicable business verification.

Get Started — It's FreeFees, bids and payment
Listing auction inventory is free. Sellers pay their configured commission on completed auction sales; eligible buyer platform charges are shown before bidding and on the applicable SMASH invoice. Review your account's agreed rate and the sale terms, or ask support before committing.
Buyer bids are sealed from other buyers. Sellers and authorized SMASH staff review offers. An accepted offer remains subject to the platform's sale approval process.
Buyers pay sellers directly under the purchase invoice and sale terms. SMASH platform charges are invoiced separately. Check the recipient, currency, taxes, shipping arrangements and cleared funds before releasing material. A shipping quote request does not book transport.
The SCRAP FEED is a separate membership arrangement. Posting is free; reading/responding requires the appropriate membership. Your recorded rate and billing status appear in Feed Account & Billing. Contact info@smashscrap.ca if an agreed rate or invoice needs clarification.
What company verification means
Company verification reflects review of submitted business identity evidence against the requirements shown for the account. Personal contact verification and auction eligibility are separate checks. A badge is not a guarantee of payment, material quality, licensing in every region, insurance or a successful transaction. Review the sale details and applicable obligations with the counterparty before committing. Ask SMASH about verification.
