Your Eco-friendly scrap yard
At Bulldog Metals, we work hard to do our part of the environment. As one of Alberta's most trusted scrap metal recycling companies, we hire only the most responsible, qualified staff members who will take great care in safely handling all materials entering our facilities. Alberta residents come to us with their old car batteries and scrap metal, knowing it will always be recycled properly.
Since 2007, our Red Deer scrap yards have set the standard for scrap metal recycling, using state-of-the-art equipment for processing and transportation. We provide a variety of bins equipped to handle loads of all sizes and can be an invaluable resource for industrial organizations. These bins make the removal of recyclable scrap metal easy and our inventory includes self-dumping hoppers, lugger bins, roll off bins, and flat deck trailers.
Bulldog Metals is proud to serve Alberta, and we strive to comply with all environmental regulations and adhere to our environmental best management practices. Our employees are well trained on the importance of protecting the environment.
