Description
The Province of Alberta’s Ministry of Public Safety and Emergency Services (PSES) is seeking a replacement for its current Scrap Metal Transaction Tracking Solution to enhance oversight, compliance, and public safety within the scrap metal industry.
This initiative supports the enforcement of the Scrap Metal Dealers and Recyclers Identification Act (SMDRIA) and its associated regulation, which require all scrap metal dealers and recyclers operating in Alberta to report all scrap metal buy and sell transactions to the Government of Alberta. The legislation is intended to combat the theft and trafficking of high value metals, such as copper wire and catalytic converters, which can disrupt critical infrastructure and result in significant financial loss to Albertans.
Under SMDRIA, dealers and recyclers are required to verify seller identity and maintain accurate and complete records for each transaction. Required information includes seller identification details (such as name, address, and government issued ID, seller descriptors) and detailed transaction information, including the date and time the property was acquired, a description and weight of the metal, and vehicle details (make, model, colour, and licence plate) used to deliver the material. The legislation also regulates how transactions occur, including the use of traceable payment methods, to deter theft and support law enforcement investigations.
Recent legislative amendments expanded reporting and traceability requirements, including enhanced transaction data elements and the inclusion of business-to-business transactions. As a result, the Province requires a secure, reliable, and scalable Solution that enables scrap metal dealers and recyclers to submit required information efficiently and allows authorized law enforcement Users (Authorized Agency Users) to access, search, and analyze transaction data in accordance with legislative and regulatory requirements.
