What types of metal scrap and materials does 800 Scrap purchase?

We specialize in purchasing a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metal scrap. This includes insulated electrical cabling, bare copper wire, aluminum profiles, stainless steel offcuts, brass foundry scrap, heavy structural steel, redundant factory machinery, and obsolete server room IT hardware. Review our detailed services directory to see the full list of materials accepted at our yard.

Do you charge any logistics or transport fees for scrap collection?

No. We provide free scrap collection and hauling across Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, and the wider UAE. For commercial and industrial properties, our team coordinates the logistics completely—including flatbed cranes, loaders, or container placements—at zero cost, provided the materials meet our minimum commercial weight thresholds.

How are your buying rates determined for scrap recyclables?

Our commercial valuation structures track current global market spot rates on the London Metal Exchange (LME). This ensures that you receive the most accurate and fair market pricing for your metals on any given day. For large industrial assets, we coordinate weighing through approved local weighbridge networks to provide transparent, printed tickets.

Do you coordinate JAFZA, SAIF Zone, or KIZAD gate pass clearances?

Yes. Our specialized logistics desk coordinates all required Gate Passes, transport NOCs, and customs paperwork internally for major industrial free zones like Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), SAIF Zone, KEZAD, and RAKEZ. We manage the administrative clearances so that your facility exit remains compliant with local regulatory policies, saving your team administrative overhead.

Can you handle secure, certified data destruction for corporate offices?

Absolutely. Corporate electronics disposal and sensitive data security are treated with strict confidentiality. We execute physical hard drive (HDD) shredding and solid-state drive (SSD) sanitization at our facility. Following secure destruction, we issue a formal Certificate of Destruction to verify your organization’s compliance with local waste management data policies.

Is there a minimum weight requirement for scheduling a free scrap collection?

Yes. For our commercial fleet to schedule a free, on-site pickup, we usually require a minimum weight (typically starting from 500 kg to 1 tonne, depending on the material type). If you have smaller, residential quantities, you are always welcome to bring them directly to our central yard in Sharjah for instant weighing and grading.

What payment methods do you offer upon material collection?

We prioritize secure, immediate transactions. Once your materials are graded and weighed on our digital scales, we can issue settlement via instant cash, corporate bank transfers, or official company cheques, depending on your company's accounting preference.

Do you recycle household appliances (refrigerators, AC units, washing machines)?

Yes. We buy and collect large consumer household appliances, including air conditioning compressors, refrigerators, and metal-cased machinery. These are safely stripped down at our facility to separate valuable copper and aluminum components from plastic housings.

How long is a commercial metal scrap price quotation valid?

Because raw copper and metal scrap valuations are indexed to the London Metal Exchange (LME), pricing is subject to daily global market fluctuations. Standard price quotes are typically valid for 24 to 48 hours. For long-term contracting clients or massive facility strip-outs, we can lock in specific index-linked equations.

Do you provide scrap collection services on weekends or after standard business hours?

Yes. We understand that shopping mall strip-outs, office server room migrations, and heavy industrial plant dismantling often must take place outside of busy business hours to avoid operational downtime. Our logistics team can schedule weekend, holiday, or late-night dispatches with prior coordination. Contact our contact desk to set up a scheduled dispatch.

Industrial Electric Motor Recycling Solutions

The UAE’s rapidly expanding industrial manufacturing, shipping logistics, and infrastructure sectors serve as critical economic drivers, aligned with the federal "Operation 300bn" industrial strategy. Industrial power stations, water distribution stations, maritime dry docks, assembly lines, and mechanical workshops generate large quantities of obsolete, burnt, or decommissioned electric motors. These heavy units contain valuable non-ferrous copper coils wrapped tightly around steel cores inside cast iron or aluminium casings. Recycling these heavy units safely demands an authorized, municipality-certified partner. At 800 Scrap, we operate a dedicated industrial fleet to coordinate compliant, transparent electric motor recycling and raw metal byproduct extraction directly from your loading docks.

Our heavy logistics division operates across the UAE's principal industrial parks, offering direct haulage solutions tailored to the regulations of secure zones—including Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) in Dubai, Sharjah's Sajaa Industrial Area, the SAIF Zone, Abu Dhabi’s Mussafah and KEZAD industrial networks, and RAK's Al Hamra complexes. Transporting commercial scrap assets out of these restricted areas requires specific gate passes, customs declarations, and local municipal approvals. Our in-house logistics team manages the entire administrative process directly. We coordinate with Civil Defense, local customs, and municipality departments to compile gate passes and waste transit NOCs, enabling our self-loading crane flatbeds, skip loaders, and trailer fleets to transit safely along the E11, E311, and E611 transport corridors without delays.

We recycle all grades of commercial metals under environmentally compliant processes, maintaining strict zero-landfill diversion protocols [1.1.2]. We purchase copper-rich motor windings, Bare Bright wire trims, tinned shipboard cabling, high-voltage substation panel busbars, HMS 1 & 2 structural scrap, and complex electronic alloys. Our technical team evaluates material purity on-site using handheld XRF spectrometers, aligning final valuations directly with the daily spot indexes of the London Metal Exchange (LME) to ensure your finance departments receive transparent, market-driven payouts via bank wire or corporate cheque.

Our processing facility utilizes advanced dry mechanical granulation systems to salvage materials cleanly. While open-air burning of insulated wiring to reclaim copper cores is strictly prohibited under UAE federal environment laws and carries heavy penalties, our Sajaa yard uses physical shredders and density separators to isolate copper chops from polymer insulation without emissions. We also assist with full site purges, buying bulk battery scrap, lead-acid backup battery arrays, obsolete HVAC chillers, and warehouse steel racking under a single master contract. To request scrap skip deployments or schedule an on-site logistical survey, contact our team through our dedicated bulk scrap pickup desk. You can explore our sorting lines on our cable recycling portal. For developers executing total facility deconstructions, manage scrap recovery via our site clearance desk, or study our core demolition scrap removal guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does 800 Scrap process scrap electric motors to extract high-purity copper windings?

At our Sajaa facility, we utilize specialized hydraulic stator pullers and mechanical copper extraction saws [1.1.2]. The outer cast iron or aluminium housing is cracked open, the steel rotor shaft is pushed out, and the copper winding loops are pulled directly from the stator slots. This ensures 100% mechanical separation of high-purity copper chops with zero thermal burning.

Do you buy burnt or water-damaged electric motors from industrial pumping stations?

Yes. We recycle all burnt, short-circuited, seized, or water-damaged industrial AC and DC motors [1.1.2]. The operational status of the motor does not affect its recycling value, as we value them based on the net weight of their constituent copper windings, steel armature cores, and cast housings.

How is the percentage of copper recovery inside different electric motors determined?

Copper winding recovery ratios vary based on motor classification, size, and manufacturer. Standard industrial motors typically yield between 10% to 22% copper by weight, while specialized high-efficiency generators and transformer stators can yield higher copper ratios. Our yard teams analyze samples using handheld XRF chemical spectrometers for accurate yield analysis [1.1.2].

What logistical equipment do you deploy to collect multi-ton industrial generators and compressors?

For high-tonnage industrial generators, heavy turbine stators, and compressor blocks, we deploy self-loading crane flatbeds, heavy hydraulic loaders, and multi-axle trailers [1.1.2]. Our operations desk coordinates Civil Defense transport approvals, road clearance NOCs, and freezone customs paperwork in-house.

What environmental waste disposal certificates do you provide following factory motor deconstruction?

Following final balance settlement, we deliver comprehensive municipality-approved waste transport logs, certified weighbridge receipts, and official environmental recycling certificates [1.1.2]. These secure logs formally verify your landfill diversion metrics for corporate ESG and safety audits.
