Decommissioning, no leftover steel.
Lease ending? Facility closing? We tear down, haul away, and where the steel still has value — buy it back. Cleanups documented for landlord sign-off across the GTA.
Complete teardown, buyback where applicable.
Lease expiry is the wrong time to discover that your racking is your problem to dispose of. We handle the entire decommissioning — including buyback offers on systems that still have resale value.
The buyback calculation is straightforward. We assess your existing racking against current market demand for that profile + gauge + capacity. Where there's resale value, we offer credit against the decommissioning fee. Common scenario: the buyback fully offsets teardown costs.
For racking that's reached end-of-life — heavily damaged, obsolete profiles, structural rust — we route the steel to certified scrap recyclers and provide a manifest documenting disposal for your environmental records. Landlord sign-off package includes condition photos + clean-floor certification.
Four steps. No surprises.

What you get, in your hands.
Buyback Offer
Where steel has resale value, we offer credit against the decommissioning fee. Common scenario: buyback covers most or all of the teardown cost.

Aligned with Ontario's current standards.
Certified Scrap Recyclers
Non-resaleable steel routed to MOECC-licensed recyclers. Manifest documents tonnage + facility for environmental compliance records.

Systems we most often work with.
Questions we hear most.
How much can we get for our racking on buyback?
Depends on system age, profile, gauge, capacity, and current market demand. Selective teardrop in good condition typically commands $25-50/bay. Structural systems run higher. Heavily damaged or obsolete profiles are scrap-value only.
Do we have to take the buyback, or can we donate it?
Either works. We have charity partners that accept racking donations for warehouse + community programs. Donation route comes with a tax receipt for fair-market value.
How quickly can you decommission a warehouse?
Standard 1,500-pallet-position facility takes 7-12 business days end-to-end. Larger or more complex systems (VNA, multi-tier) run longer. Rush scheduling available with after-hours and weekend crew at premium.
What about the anchor holes in the slab?
We document every anchor hole's location + size. Most commercial leases don't require slab repair, but if yours does, we can quote the patch work — typically $4-8/hole. Documentation alone is usually enough for sign-off.
