What Is Container Scrap?

Container scrap is the term for retired, damaged, rusted, dismantled, or surplus metal containers that no longer serve their original logistical purpose and are sold as raw scrap metal for recycling. Most shipping containers are built from Corten (weathering) steel, while storage bins and porta cabins use mild steel and aluminium — high-value ferrous and non-ferrous metals that smelters and rolling mills across the Gulf eagerly recycle into new structural steel, rebar, and manufactured goods.

For businesses in Saudi Arabia’s booming logistics, oil & gas, and construction sectors, retired containers are not waste — they are a real revenue stream, and we make sure you capture maximum value.

Container Scrap Price in Saudi Arabia (2026 Guide)

How much is 1 kg of scrap metal?

The price of 1 kg of scrap metal in Saudi Arabia typically falls within these approximate ranges (rates fluctuate daily with the London Metal Exchange and Saudi steel market):

Ferrous scrap (iron, steel, container body): approximately SAR 0.80 – 1.50 per kg
Aluminium scrap: approximately SAR 5 – 8 per kg
Copper scrap: approximately SAR 25 – 35 per kg

Since shipping containers are mostly Corten steel, container scrap is priced under the ferrous band. Call us for today’s exact rate.

How much is 1 container in kg?

Standard empty (tare) container weights:

20-ft standard container: ~2,200 – 2,400 kg (about 2.2 tonnes)
40-ft standard container: ~3,700 – 4,000 kg (about 4 tonnes)
40-ft high-cube container: ~4,000 – 4,150 kg
20-ft refrigerated (reefer): ~3,000 kg (heavier due to insulation & compressor)

So a single 40-ft container at the going ferrous rate can yield roughly SAR 3,500 – 5,500, depending on condition, accessibility, and current market demand. We give a real-time on-site quotation, no guesswork.

What Are the 7 Types of Containers?

In international shipping and logistics, the 7 most common container types are:

Standard Dry Containers (20 ft & 40 ft) – the most widely used.
High-Cube Containers – about one foot taller for bulky cargo.
Refrigerated Containers (Reefers) – temperature-controlled.
Open-Top Containers – for oversized or over-height cargo.
Flat-Rack Containers – for heavy machinery, pipes, and equipment.
Tank Containers / ISO Tanks – for liquids, gases, and chemicals.
Insulated / Ventilated Containers – for perishables and sensitive goods.

We purchase scrap from all 7 types, including specialized variants like bulk containers and platform containers.
