Who We Are
Why Us?
CME understands the challenges of managing freight, especially in Western Canada wherein buyers often commit to purchase loads they are unable to pickup, thus, leaving customers challenged when markets are moving. We can eliminate this ever present concern when buying your recyclables due to the fact that we manage our own fleet of trucks, flatbeds and scrap handling equipment, which allows for fast turnaround from purchase order to pick-up from any location.
CME has several strategic collection sites on the Fraser River near Surrey and in Williams Lake BC, both of which are well connected with multiple modes of transportation via roadway, rail road, and additionally with a boat berthing facility to which we have the ability to recycle many water based transportation and or pleasure craft.
CME has a team of supply chain engineers that maximize value while identifying the import or export market suitable for commodities worldwide. This allows us to get the best value for your recyclables and make strong alliances with our customers via near shoring and/or utilizing our international connections to minimize lost profitability and ensuring maximizing value for each customer.
