Aluminium scrap in Dammam has no single fixed rate per kilogram. What you are paid depends on the grade of aluminium, how clean it is, how much you have, and where it is collected from. Clean extrusion profile pays the most. Mixed, painted or dirty aluminium pays less. Call 0583593660 with a rough weight and we will tell you what your load is worth.

What Counts as Aluminium Scrap?

Aluminium scrap is any discarded aluminium that can be melted and reused. It shows up everywhere in Dammam without people noticing it. Old window frames after a renovation. Kitchen cabinets pulled out of a villa. AC condenser fins. Broken ladders, sheets left over from a workshop job, cable stripped down to bare wire.

Most people throw this away or hand it to whoever knocks on the door first. That is usually a mistake, because aluminium holds its value well. It can be recycled again and again without losing quality, so mills always want it.

The catch is that not all aluminium is worth the same. A buyer who offers you “one price for everything” is almost always paying you the rate of your worst material.

Types of Aluminium Scrap We Buy in Dammam

Extrusion and Profile

Window frames, door frames, curtain wall sections, shop front profiles. This is the cleanest and most consistent aluminium you can sell. If the glass, rubber gasket and steel screws are removed, it sits at the top of the value range.

Aluminium Sheet and Plate

Roofing sheet, cladding panels, workshop offcuts, signboard backing. Value depends heavily on paint and coating. Bare sheet is worth clearly more than thick powder-coated cladding.

Aluminium Kitchen and Cabinets

Very common in Dammam and Al Khobar when villas and flats are renovated. Kitchen units are usually a mix of aluminium frame, chipboard, glass and hinges. We buy them, but the price reflects how much actual aluminium comes out after stripping.

AC Coils and Radiators

Condenser and evaporator coils are a mix of aluminium fins and copper tubing. These are graded separately because of the copper content, which lifts the value.

Aluminium Cable

Overhead line, armoured cable, older building wiring. Value is based on the metal recovered after the insulation, not on the weight you deliver.

Cast and Mixed Aluminium

Engine parts, pump housings, gearbox casings, old cookware. Cast aluminium contains other metals mixed in, so it sits at the lower end. Still worth selling, just do not expect profile rates.

Aluminium Value Levels at a Glance

Type	Typical Value Level	What Pulls the Price Down
Clean extrusion / profile	High	Glass, rubber, steel screws left in
Bare sheet and plate	High	Thick paint, plastic film, insulation backing
AC coils with copper	Medium to High	Oil residue, steel casing attached
Aluminium cable	Medium	Heavy insulation, steel armour
Kitchen units	Medium	Wood, glass and hardware still attached
Cast and mixed	Low to Medium	Iron inserts, heavy dirt, oil

These are relative levels, not fixed prices. Actual rates move with the global aluminium market and change week to week. For a current figure on your specific load, call 0583593660.

What Decides Your Aluminium Scrap Rate

Grade. Profile, sheet, cast and cable are all valued differently. Sorting them before you sell is the single biggest thing you control.

Cleanliness. Every kilogram of glass, wood, rubber or steel in your load is weight the buyer cannot sell on. It gets deducted, either openly or quietly through a lower overall rate.

Quantity. A 30 kg load and a 3 tonne load do not get the same treatment. Larger volumes justify dedicated transport and better rates, which is why factories and contractors usually get more per kilogram than households.

Market conditions. Aluminium is traded globally. When international demand rises, local buying rates follow. This is why no honest buyer can quote you a fixed price for next month.

Location and access. A load on the ground floor with truck access costs less to collect than the same load on a third floor with no lift. That difference shows up in what you are offered.

How to Get a Better Price for Your Aluminium

Separate profile from sheet, and keep cast aluminium in its own pile.
Pull out steel screws, hinges and brackets. They are cheap to remove and expensive to leave in.
Remove glass and rubber gaskets from window frames where it is safe to do so.
Keep aluminium off the ground so it does not pick up sand and dirt weight.
Give an honest weight estimate when you call. It lets us send the right vehicle instead of making a second trip.
Ask how the weighing is done before you agree to anything.

One thing we would not recommend: do not burn cable insulation to recover the metal faster. It is illegal, it is dangerous, and burnt material is graded lower anyway.

Who Sells Aluminium Scrap in Dammam

Our regular sellers fall into a few groups. Aluminium and glass workshops generate offcuts every week from window and facade work. Construction and renovation contractors strip out old frames and kitchens. Factories in Dammam 2nd Industrial City (Tasliya) clear production waste, damaged stock and decommissioned equipment. Households sell after a renovation or when clearing a villa.

The process is the same for all of them. The only real difference is the size of the load and the vehicle we send.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the aluminium scrap price per kg in Dammam?

There is no single fixed rate. Clean extrusion profile sits at the top, cast and mixed aluminium at the bottom, with sheet and cable in between. Call 0583593660 with your grade and weight for a current figure.

Which type of aluminium pays the most?

Clean extrusion profile with no glass, rubber or steel attached. It is uniform, easy to process and mills pay well for it.

Do you buy small quantities from homes?

Yes. Small household loads are welcome, though per-kilogram rates on very small quantities are usually lower than on bulk industrial loads.

Do I need to remove the glass from window frames myself?

Not necessarily. We can handle frames with glass still fitted, but removing it yourself will get you a better rate because you are selling metal instead of weight we have to dispose of.

Is painted or coated aluminium worth anything?

Yes, it still has value. Coating simply reduces the recovered metal percentage, so it is graded below bare material.

How is aluminium different from stainless steel in value?

They are separate markets and separate rates. A magnet is a quick field test: aluminium is not magnetic, and most stainless steel is only weakly magnetic or not at all. If you are unsure, we will identify it on site.

Do you buy aluminium AC units?

Yes. Split units, window units and central AC parts are all bought. Coils containing copper are graded higher than plain aluminium casing.

Can you collect from a factory in Tasliya?

Yes. Dammam 2nd Industrial City is one of our main collection areas and we handle regular contract clearances there.

Do you charge for pickup?

For normal loads within our service areas, collection is arranged as part of the deal. For very small quantities at long distance, transport cost may be reflected in the rate. We tell you before you commit, not after.

How is the weight measured?

On digital scales, in front of you, before loading. If you want to weigh independently first, that is fine with us.

How quickly can you collect?

It depends on load size and location. Small pickups in Dammam are usually arranged quickly. Large industrial clearances are scheduled after a site visit.

How do I get paid?

Payment is settled at the time of collection, once the weight is confirmed and agreed.
