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.

We purchase all major grades, including Bare Bright Copper wires, Armored Power Cables, Electric Motors, Light Copper, Copper Tubing, and Copper Turnings.

Do you recycle other metals like aluminium, brass, lead, and stainless steel?

Yes. We buy aluminium extrusions, scrap brass/bronze, lead blocks, lead-acid batteries, stainless steel (grades 304/316), and heavy structural iron or steel.

Are there specific scrap items that require police clearance or ownership proof?

Yes, under UAE law, restricted materials like public utility copper cables, structural rebar, or municipal street furniture require police clearances, valid commercial IDs, or corporate trading permits to prevent illegal scrap sales.

How do you verify the accuracy of on-site scrap weighing?

All scales used by our collection teams are municipal-certified, digital, and regularly calibrated. For high-volume truckloads, we utilize certified third-party weighbridge facilities to guarantee absolute transparency.

Do you provide corporate office and warehouse clear-out services?

Yes, we provide full MEP, factory, and commercial warehouse clearances. This includes extracting old shelving, structural components, server arrays, and obsolete inventory.

Can you place scrap collection skips or bins permanently at our site?

Yes. For manufacturing plants, fabrication yards, and construction sites generating regular metal scrap, we can deploy secure bins or skips and coordinate scheduled pick-and-replace rotations.

Do you handle Freezone gate passes and customs paperwork for collections?

Yes. For operations inside free zones (such as JAFZA, SAIF Zone, RAKEZ, and KIZAD), we manage all Gate Passes, customs exit permits, and municipality NOCs in-house.

Can the salvaged metal scrap offset our warehouse or site clearance costs?

Yes. If your site contains high-value scrap like copper wiring, industrial motors, or structural steel, those metals can offset your labor and transport costs—often resulting in a net payout to you.

Do you offer heavy steel structural dismantling and cold-cutting?

Yes. We deploy certified cutting teams equipped with oxy-propane cold-cutting torches, industrial rigging equipment, and crane operators to safely dismantle heavy structures.

How are industrial electric motors and compressors priced for recycling?

Valuations depend on raw weight, housing alloy type (cast iron or aluminium), and copper winding ratio. We dismantle them to recover clean copper windings.

Do you recycle old commercial air conditioning (AC) and chiller systems?

Yes. We buy heavy commercial chilled water units, compressor blocks, and condenser radiators, extracting the copper coils and heavy casing steel.

What is your process for secure document shredding and paper documentation disposal?

We collect archives in locked bins, transport them in sealed vehicles, and shred them inside a monitored facility. We then issue an official Certificate of Destruction.

Do you offer certified physical hard drive and electronic media crushing?

Yes, we physically shred hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), backup tapes, and motherboard chips to guarantee 100% zero-recovery of corporate data.

Are your document and media shredding operations monitored?

Yes. All safe storage extraction, transport transit, and industrial shredding occur under continuous closed-circuit television (CCTV) coverage.

What happens to the shredded paper and electronic components after destruction?

Shredded paper is baled and recycled at local mills. Electronics are sorted into distinct metal and PCB recovery streams, ensuring environmentally sustainable diversion.

What environmental manifests and corporate compliance documents do you issue?

We provide detailed safe-disposal manifests, weighbridge tickets, and environmental recycling certificates to formally document compliance for corporate ESG and safety audits.

What is the mechanical granulation process used for recycling insulated copper wires?

At our Sajaa recycling terminal, we run high-capacity dry-separation mechanical granulation lines. Insulated copper cables are first fed into heavy pre-shredders, then pulverized into fine granules. The mixed plastics and copper chops are routed across vibrating air-density gravity tables to split them with absolute precision, yielding pure Grade 1 copper granules (cobra chops) and clean plastic byproducts with zero emissions.

Why is dry mechanical granulation superior to open burning or chemical cable stripping?

Open cable burning is highly illegal in the UAE and carries severe municipality fines because it releases toxic halogens and heavy metal vapors. It also degrades the metallurgical purity of the copper. Chemical stripping is slow and produces hazardous fluid waste. Mechanical dry granulation is a 100% eco-friendly physical separation process that keeps the local UAE air clean, preserves copper's maximum market value, and satisfies corporate green audits.

What types of insulated wiring and cables can your granulation mills process?

Our industrial granulator lines are designed to process all types of insulated copper and aluminium wires. This includes heavy multi-core armored power cables, single-core PV solar cables, tinned marine wires, flexible household appliance cords, Cat5/Cat6/Cat7 structured data network lines, and complex automotive wiring looms.

How do you handle fine-gauge wires, such as hair-thin telephone lines or automotive looms?

Fine-gauge wires and complex automotive looms present recovery challenges for standard stripping machines. Our advanced granulation line includes high-speed rotating blade pulverizers that reduce the entire wire assembly into a uniform sand-like mixture. Air-density separators then float away the lightweight PVC particles while isolating the heavier copper fragments, capturing near-100% of the copper.

What happens to the plastic insulation and polymer byproduct after granulation?

The isolated plastic polymers (such as PVC and XLPE) are consolidated, baled, and routed directly to certified regional compounders and plastic recycling partners. They are transformed into secondary plastic raw materials for industrial hoses, conduits, or packaging products, completing a true zero-landfill circular economy loop.
