Heavy Equipment & Machinery Removal

North Auto Recycling handles more than just scrap cars and small metal loads. We also pick up and remove heavy equipment, industrial machinery, and large commercial scrap metal throughout Coquitlam and the surrounding Lower Mainland — including generators, forklifts, construction equipment, farm machinery, industrial boilers, and more.

If you have a large piece of equipment sitting idle, taking up yard space, or past its useful life, we can arrange scheduled pickup, handle the loading and transport, and pay you based on the metal weight at current market rates. No need to cut it down or prep it — we deal with it as-is.

⚠️ Please note: We accept heavy machinery and equipment for scrap value only. We do not buy, sell, or deal in used equipment components or refurbished machinery.

We work with residential customers, small businesses, contractors, and commercial operations across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Burnaby, New Westminster, Surrey, Maple Ridge, Mission, and Pitt Meadows. For very large loads or multiple pieces, we recommend calling ahead so we can send the right vehicle and crew.

Not sure if we can take something? Just call us at (236) 900-0159 and describe what you have. If we can’t take it ourselves, we’ll point you in the right direction.

How It Works

Step 1 — Call or message us. Tell us what you have, roughly how big it is, and where it’s located. We’ll give you a quick quote based on current metal prices and the type of material.

Step 2 — We schedule the pickup. We arrange a time that works for you and come with the right equipment to load and remove it. For very large machinery we may need a day or two of lead time.

Step 3 — You get paid on the spot. Once we weigh the load we pay you cash based on the agreed rate — no waiting for invoices or bank transfers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you remove machinery that is still partially working?
Yes — we take equipment regardless of condition. Working, broken, stripped, or partially dismantled, we’ll assess it and make an offer based on its scrap metal value.
Can you pick up from a job site or commercial property?
Yes — we regularly pick up from construction sites, industrial yards, commercial properties, and farm land. Call ahead so we know what access and equipment will be needed.
How is the price calculated for heavy machinery?
Same as all our scrap metal — by weight, at current market rates. Copper, aluminum, and brass typically pay more per kg than steel or mixed scrap. We weigh on arrival and confirm the offer before we load anything.
What areas do you cover for machinery pickup?
We cover Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Burnaby, New Westminster, Surrey, Maple Ridge, Mission, and Pitt Meadows. For very large loads outside this area, call us to discuss — we may still be able to help.
