Selling scrap metal in the UAE

How do you decide the price for my scrap metal?

Pricing is based on real-time data. We track LME and local UAE market rates daily, then adjust for grade, contamination, attached non-metal components, quantity, and whether you deliver or we collect. You get the full breakdown before you accept, with no hidden deductions at the weighbridge.

Do you provide the truck, labour and containers, or do I?

We do. We operate our own fleet of pickups, trucks, trailers and skips, and bring the labour and cutting equipment needed to handle loading and transport. For ongoing projects we can leave a container or skip on site and collect on a schedule that suits you.

What documents do I need to sell scrap metal in the UAE?

Typically a trade licence copy and an authorised signatory ID for company sales, plus a gate pass or NOC where the site or free zone requires one. Individual sellers need photo ID. Call us and we will confirm exactly what your site or zone requires.

Do you buy scrap from construction and demolition sites?

Yes, this is a core part of our work. We execute complete scrap handling contracts from construction sites, manufacturing industries and project locations, including plant dismantling, portacabin and site office dismantling, demolition and general cleanups, all under the highest HSE standards.

Do you buy electronic scrap and old IT equipment?

Yes. We buy e-waste including computers, laptops, circuit boards, electronic components, switchgear and panel boards, and ensure safe, environmentally responsible disposal. For offices decommissioning IT assets we can arrange scheduled collection and supply disposal documentation.

How quickly can you attend a site in Abu Dhabi or Dubai?

We respond to quote requests during working hours, Monday to Saturday. In Abu Dhabi and Mussafah we can attend site once you accept the quote, and we cover Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain on a scheduled collection basis. Tell us your deadline and we will confirm a slot.

Do you buy cable, transformers and MEP scrap?

Yes. We purchase cables, motors, air conditioning units, pumps, valves, generators, all MEP materials, switchgear and panel boards, and other industrial equipment, plant and machinery. Armoured cable and drums are priced on recoverable copper content after stripping.

Our services

What scrap materials does Enviro Value buy?

We buy both ferrous and non-ferrous scrap: copper, aluminium, brass, stainless steel, iron and steel, cables and wire, motors, pumps, valves, generators, air conditioning units, all MEP materials, switchgear and panel boards, plant and machinery, and electronic scrap.

Do you handle complete site clearance contracts?

Yes. We execute full scrap handling contracts covering plant dismantling, portacabin and site office dismantling, demolition scrap and general cleanups, carried out under the highest HSE standards with our own labour and cutting equipment.

Do you supply containers or skips for ongoing projects?

Yes. For projects that generate scrap continuously we can leave a container or skip on site and collect on an agreed schedule, so material never builds up in your working area.

Which emirates do you cover?

We are based in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi, and cover the whole UAE, including Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain, on a scheduled collection basis.

How do I arrange a collection?

Send the material type and approximate quantity through the form on this page, or call +971 52 157 0001 during working hours, Mon to Sat, 08:00am to 06:00pm. We confirm a rate first, then agree a collection slot.

About Enviro Value

Who is Enviro Value?

Enviro Value General Trading L.L.C is a metal scrap trading company based in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi, buying ferrous and non-ferrous scrap across the UAE and handling complete scrap clearance contracts for industry and construction.

Is Enviro Value licensed to trade scrap in the UAE?

Yes. Enviro Value holds UAE trade licence CN-6316739. We can provide licence details and the paperwork your site, free zone or procurement team requires before collection.

How much experience does the team have?

The team brings more than 25 years of experience in the scrap metal trade, and we work with contractors, manufacturers, telecommunication companies and government and semi-government organisations.

Do you own your own transport?

Yes. We run our own fleet of pickups, trucks, trailers and skips rather than hiring third parties, which is what lets us commit to a collection slot and keep control of the material from your site to our yard.

Where is your yard and how far do you travel?

Our yard is in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi. We collect throughout Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, and cover Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman on a scheduled basis.

Standards and quality

What does your quality policy cover?

It covers how material is handled from first site visit to final disposal: safe working on site, correct identification and grading of material, transparent weighing, and environmentally responsible recycling or disposal of everything we take away.

How do you keep sites safe during scrap removal?

Work is planned before crews arrive, our teams use the correct PPE and cutting equipment, and dismantling and demolition work is carried out under the highest HSE standards so your site keeps running around us.

How do I know the weight I am paid on is accurate?

Material is weighed on a weighbridge and you get the figures before payment is settled, with the deductions for contamination or attached non-metal parts identified rather than absorbed silently.

What happens to the material after collection?

Metals are sorted by grade and routed for recycling. Electronic scrap and any material that cannot be recycled is passed to responsible disposal rather than landfill.

Can you supply documentation for our records?

Yes. We can provide the collection and disposal paperwork your audit, procurement or HSE team needs. Tell us what format you require when you book the collection.

Contacting us

How do I reach Enviro Value?

Call or WhatsApp +971 52 157 0001, email info@envirometalscrap.com, or send the enquiry form on this page. All three reach the same team.

What are your working hours?

We are open Mon to Sat, 08:00am to 06:00pm. Enquiries sent outside those hours are answered the next working morning.

Where are you located?

Our office and yard are in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi, and we collect across the UAE including Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain.

How quickly will I get a quote?

Quote requests received during working hours are usually answered the same working day, once we know the material, the approximate quantity and where it is.

What should I include in my enquiry?

Material type, rough quantity or weight, the emirate the material is in, and whether it needs cutting or dismantling. Photos help us quote accurately first time.

Aluminium scrap

What types of aluminium scrap do you buy?

We buy extrusion and profile offcuts, sheet and plate, cast aluminium, radiators, wheels, cans, aluminium cable and mixed workshop aluminium, in both clean and mixed condition.

How is aluminium scrap priced?

Aluminium is priced against LME and local UAE market rates on the day, then adjusted for grade, contamination, any attached steel, plastic or rubber, the quantity involved, and whether you deliver or we collect.

Do I need to sort or clean the aluminium first?

No, we accept mixed loads. Sorted, clean grades do earn a better rate, so if your workshop can keep extrusion separate from cast and radiators it is worth doing.

Do you collect aluminium scrap from Dubai?

Yes. We collect across Dubai with our own fleet, including from workshops, fabrication units, factories and construction sites, on a scheduled basis.

Can you buy aluminium on an ongoing contract?

Yes. Fabricators and factories producing aluminium offcuts regularly can set up a recurring collection with a container on site, priced against the market at each collection.

Copper scrap

What grades of copper do you buy?

We buy bright and bare bright wire, millberry, heavy copper, copper tubing and pipe, braziery and mixed copper, busbar, and insulated copper cable of all sizes.

How is insulated copper cable priced?

Cable is priced on its recoverable copper content once the insulation is stripped, so armoured cable and drums are assessed on the copper actually inside rather than gross weight.

Do you buy transformers, motors and switchgear?

Yes. We buy transformers, electric motors, pumps, generators, switchgear and panel boards, and other copper-bearing industrial equipment, and we can dismantle them on site where needed.

Do you collect copper scrap from Dubai sites?

Yes. We collect copper across Dubai with our own vehicles, and we can attend sites, workshops and MEP contractors on a scheduled basis.

Can you provide paperwork for the copper collected?

Yes. We can supply weighbridge figures and the collection documentation your project or procurement team needs to close the material off.

Stainless steel scrap

Which stainless steel grades do you buy?

We buy 304, 316, 310, 409 and 430 stainless, along with mixed and unidentified stainless. Grade is confirmed at the yard before the price is settled.

Where does the stainless scrap you buy usually come from?

Commercial kitchens, food and beverage plants, tanks and vessels, pipework and MEP installations, fabrication workshops and process industry equipment.

Do you cut and remove fabricated stainless steel?

Yes. We bring our own labour and cutting equipment, so tanks, ducting, pipework and fixed installations can be cut down and removed rather than left for you to prepare.

How is stainless steel scrap priced?

Price depends on grade, whether the material is clean or mixed, attached non-stainless components, and the quantity. We confirm the rate before you commit.

Do you collect stainless from Dubai and Sharjah?

Yes. Both are covered on a scheduled collection basis, alongside Abu Dhabi, Ajman and Al Ain.

Electronic and IT scrap

What electronic scrap do you buy?

We buy computers, laptops, servers, monitors, printers, circuit boards, electronic components, cabling, switchgear and panel boards, and general office IT equipment being decommissioned.

What happens to the equipment after collection?

Equipment is sorted for recovery of the metals and components it contains, and anything that cannot be recycled is passed to safe, environmentally responsible disposal.

We are decommissioning an office. Can you work to our schedule?

Yes. We arrange scheduled collections around office moves and refits, including staged pickups so equipment leaves as each floor or department is cleared.

Some devices hold company data. How should we handle that?

Tell us before collection which items are data-bearing. Handling for those items is agreed in advance so nothing leaves site until you are satisfied with the arrangement.

Can you provide disposal documentation?

Yes. We can supply the collection and disposal paperwork your IT, audit or compliance team needs for the assets removed.

Abu Dhabi and the UAE

Are you scrap dealers based in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. Our office and yard are in Mussafah Industrial Area, Abu Dhabi, and we hold UAE trade licence CN-6316739. Collections across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain run directly from there.

What do you buy in Abu Dhabi?

The full range: copper, aluminium, brass, stainless steel, iron and steel, cable, motors and MEP materials, plant and machinery, and electronic scrap.

Do you collect from Mussafah and the industrial areas?

Yes. Workshops, fabrication units, factories and warehouses across Mussafah and Abu Dhabi's industrial areas are a regular part of our collection rounds, including recurring pickups.

How quickly can you attend a site in Abu Dhabi?

Being based in Mussafah, we can usually attend Abu Dhabi sites once you accept the quote. Tell us your deadline when you request it and we will confirm a slot.

Do you cover the other emirates as well?

Yes. Al Ain is covered directly, and Dubai and the northern emirates on a scheduled collection basis, Mon to Sat, 08:00am to 06:00pm.

Metal Scrap Trading

Do you buy both ferrous and non-ferrous scrap?

Yes. We buy iron and steel, rebar, I-beam, sheet and HMS on the ferrous side, and copper, brass, aluminium, stainless steel, lead, nickel, tin and mixed alloy on the non-ferrous side, along with cable, machinery and electrical equipment.

Do I need to sort the material before you collect?

No. Mixed loads are normal and we handle them. Separated grades do earn a better rate, so if your workshop can keep copper away from brass, or extrusion away from cast, it is worth doing.

How is the rate decided?

By grade, how clean the material is, what non-metal parts are still attached, the quantity, and whether you deliver or we collect. The figure is confirmed before you commit and the weighbridge settles against it.

Do you buy one-off loads or only ongoing contracts?

Both. A single load is a phone call. For sites producing scrap continuously we would rather place a container and collect on a schedule.

Site Clearance & Demolition

Can you work around a site that is still operating?

Yes. Work is planned and phased before crews mobilise so clearance happens around your programme rather than stopping it.

Do you bring your own labour and cutting equipment?

Yes. Labour, cutting equipment and vehicles are ours, so the job does not depend on hired-in resources arriving.

Do you remove portacabins and site offices?

Yes. End-of-project clearance normally includes portacabins, site offices, redundant plant, fencing, cable offcuts and general left-out material.

What safety standards do you work to?

Dismantling and demolition work is carried out under the highest HSE standards with the correct PPE, which matters most where our crews work alongside yours.

Scrap Collection & Logistics

Can you leave a container or skip on our site?

Yes. For sites producing scrap continuously a container in the working area is usually better than repeated ad-hoc pickups, and we swap it on an agreed frequency.

Who loads the material?

Our team loads, so your crew stays on their own work.

Do you use third-party hauliers?

No. Pickups, trucks, trailers and skips are our own, which is why we can commit to a collection slot rather than pass your deadline on.

Which emirates do you collect from?

Abu Dhabi and Al Ain directly, with Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman covered on a scheduled basis.

Supply to Recycling Factories

Why does sorting matter before material reaches a factory?

Metal arriving mixed has to be separated again or is downgraded. Metal arriving sorted by grade goes straight into process, which is what keeps it in the recycling stream instead of landfill.

How is cable handled?

Cable is processed for its recoverable metal content rather than supplied whole, so what reaches the factory is prepared.

Can you supply consistent volumes?

Yes. Material comes from ongoing collection contracts rather than one-off lots, so supply stays steady.

Do you provide documentation with the material?

Yes. The paperwork the receiving factory and your own records require goes with the load.

Surplus Material Trading

What counts as surplus rather than scrap?

Material that was bought and never used, or removed while still serviceable: cable still on the drum, a motor ordered and never fitted, air conditioning units pulled during a refit, valves left over when a spec changed. It is worth more than its metal content.

What do you need from us to quote?

A stock list or a set of photographs is enough to start. Model numbers help where they are to hand but are not essential.

Do you buy from warehouses and stores as well as sites?

Yes. Project sites, construction companies, contractors, warehouses and stores are all regular sources.

What kinds of material do you take?

Cables, motors, air conditioning units, pumps, valves, generators, all MEP materials, switchgear and panel boards, and obsolete warehouse stock.

Waste Management Services

Why separate metal waste at source?

Once metal goes into general refuse it is difficult to recover, and it costs twice: once in disposal, and again in the value thrown away with it.

How often would you collect?

On a frequency matched to what your operation produces, so containers do not overflow between visits.

What happens to material that cannot be recycled?

It is disposed of responsibly rather than going to landfill by default.

Can you provide records for our HSE and audit files?

Yes. Collection and disposal documentation is provided for what leaves site.

Tender and Auction Participation

Are you licensed to bid on government scrap tenders?

Yes. We hold UAE trade licence CN-6316739 and work regularly with government and semi-government organisations as well as private entities.

How do you value a lot?

By attending and inspecting it. A lot described in one line can contain very different material once seen, and access often decides what removal will involve, so we price on inspection rather than description.

Can you clear a lot within the tender's removal window?

Yes. On award we mobilise our own crews and fleet, which is what makes the permitted period achievable.

Do you handle the post-award paperwork?

Yes. We complete the documentation the issuing authority requires once the lot is cleared.

Transportation & Logistics

How do you decide which vehicle to send?

Access, weight and material decide it. A pickup reaches places a truck cannot; a trailer takes structural steel a truck cannot carry. We match them before mobilising.

What if material is too large to move as it is?

Our crews carry cutting equipment with the vehicle rather than hiring it in, so oversized items are reduced on the spot instead of needing a second visit.

Do you own your vehicles?

Yes. Pickups, trucks, trailers and skips are ours, with no third-party hire.

What are your operating hours?

Mon to Sat, 08:00am to 06:00pm. Requests outside those hours are answered the next working morning.

Customized Services

When does a job need a tailored approach?

When the volume is beyond a standard collection, the material is fixed in place, the access route dictates the method, or the site cannot stop while the work happens.

Do you visit before quoting?

Yes. We look at access, sequence and constraints, and talk to whoever runs the site, before anything is priced.

Do you provide a method statement?

Yes. It covers how the structure comes down, in what order and how it leaves, under the highest HSE standards.

Can work be phased around live operations?

Yes. On live sites we normally clear in sections so your production or programme keeps running around the removal.
