Questions, answered

Getting started is straightforward. Submit a partnership inquiry through our website and a member of the Kanect Co team will reach out within 1–2 business days to learn more about your business and get you set up. There's no lengthy application process — we verify your business, have a conversation, and get you onboarded as a Tier 1 partner.

No — Tier 1 partner status is granted to all verified business partners at no cost. There are no application fees, no membership fees, and no minimum volume requirements to get started. You get preferential pricing and priority service from day one as a verified partner.

Kanect Co works with a broad range of industrial and commercial businesses — scrap yards, auto recyclers, manufacturers, construction and demolition companies, agricultural operations, logistics providers, and more. If your business generates, trades, or processes materials or industrial equipment, there's likely a fit. When in doubt, reach out and we'll have a conversation.

As a verified partner, you get Tier 1 pricing on commodities, early access to equipment inventory before it hits the open market, a dedicated point of contact on our team, and integration into the full Kanect Group network — including Kanect Recycling, Kanect Auctions, and more. It's a real business relationship, not a portal login.

Most partners are fully onboarded within a few business days of their first contact. We keep the process light — a short conversation to verify your business and understand your needs, and then you're in. We don't believe in making serious businesses jump through hoops.

All pricing is market-backed and updated in real time. We operate on a transparent model — no hidden margins, no opaque structures. Verified partners receive Tier 1 rates, which are the most competitive pricing we offer. Exact rates are shared directly with partners through Kanect Recycling, reflecting live market conditions for ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

We handle both ferrous metals — steel, iron, and related alloys — and non-ferrous metals including copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and specialty metals. Pricing on all categories is updated in real time based on current market conditions and shared directly with verified partners.

Verified partners receive quotes directly through their dedicated Kanect Co contact. If you're not yet a partner, the first step is to submit an inquiry — once you're onboarded, you'll have a direct line to your account contact for any quote or pricing request. No call queues, no generic inboxes.

The catalytic converter pricing app is a free online tool available at converters.kanectrecycling.com.

Current inventory includes equipment like metal shredders, balers, conveyors, and granulators — with new listings added regularly. Partners get first access to new inventory before it's publicly listed.

Yes. If you have industrial equipment to sell, Kanect Co can facilitate that through our own listings or through Kanect Auctions, which provides a transparent bidding platform with broad exposure. Reach out to your account contact or submit an inquiry to discuss your equipment and get the process started.

Our inventory spans a wide range of industrial processing and recycling equipment — shredders, balers, granulators, conveyors, sorting systems, and more. We also facilitate the sale of vehicles and other industrial assets through Kanect Auctions. If you're looking for something specific that isn't in current inventory, reach out and we'll keep an eye out.

Logistics arrangements are discussed on a case-by-case basis depending on the equipment and the transaction. Your Kanect Co account contact will work through the specifics with you directly once a deal is in progress. We aim to make the full process as smooth as possible for both parties.
