Scrap Metal Buyer in Saudi Arabia: Prices, Contact Number and How to Sell
A scrap metal buyer in Saudi Arabia pays you cash for old copper, aluminium, iron, steel, brass, cables and AC units. The price depends on the metal type, how clean it is, its weight and the market rate that day. In Dammam and the Eastern Province, you can call Scrap Buyer Dammam KSA on 0583593660 for a quote and pickup.
Most people sell scrap only a few times a year, so it is normal not to know who pays fairly or how rates work. This guide explains it in plain words, from a buyer who weighs and pays for scrap every day.
What does a scrap metal buyer do?
A scrap metal buyer collects metal that you no longer need and pays you for it. We sort it, weigh it and send it on to recyclers and smelters, where it gets melted down and used again.
Scrap can come from a house, shop, factory or building site. Common examples are old split ACs, copper pipes, aluminium windows, iron beams, cables and broken machines.
Scrap metal buyer Saudi Arabia price: how the rate is decided
People often ask us for the Saudi scrap rate today. The honest answer is that there is no single fixed rate. Prices move with world metal markets, such as the London Metal Exchange (LME), and with local demand in the Kingdom. A rate from last month can already be out of date.
Here is what changes the price you get:
- Metal type. Copper is worth the most. Brass and aluminium come next. Iron and steel are lower per kg but often come in large amounts.
- Cleanliness. Bare copper with no plastic, paint or solder gets a better rate than mixed or dirty copper.
- Weight. Bigger loads usually get a better price per kg because the pickup cost is shared over more metal.
- Sorting. If you keep copper, aluminium and iron in separate piles, the buyer does not have to guess, and you get paid for each metal at its own rate.
- Location and access. Easy loading saves time. A site with a narrow lane or upper floor may take more labour.

Scrap buyer in Dammam
Our base is in Dammam, close to the 2nd Industrial City. That makes Dammam and its nearby areas the places we reach fastest. We regularly collect from Al Khobar, Qatif, Dhahran, Jubail, Al Ahsa and Al Hofuf.
Dammam has a lot of construction, factory work and AC replacement, so there is a steady flow of copper, aluminium and iron scrap here. When people search for the best scrap buyer in Dammam, they usually want three things: a buyer who answers the phone, a fair weight on a proper scale, and payment without excuses. Those are the things we work on every day.
Scrap buyer in Riyadh and other cities
We are an Eastern Province buyer, so we do not claim daily coverage in Riyadh. If you are a company in Riyadh or another city with a large load, such as a full factory clearance or tons of cable, call us. For big jobs we can talk about whether a trip makes sense. For small home loads outside the Eastern Province, a buyer in your own city is usually better.
How to choose the best scrap metal buyer in Saudi Arabia
Not every buyer works the same way. Before you sell, check these points:
- A real phone number that gets answered. A buyer who picks up quickly usually shows up on time too.
- Weighing you can see. Ask to watch the scale. A fair buyer will not mind.
- A price explained by type. Copper and iron should not be priced as one mixed pile if you sorted them.
- Clear payment terms. Know before loading when and how you will be paid.
- Pickup for heavy loads. Most sellers cannot move beams, machines or big AC units on their own.
- No pressure. You should be free to compare offers.

Frequently asked questions
What is the scrap metal price in Saudi Arabia today?
There is no single fixed price. Rates change daily with LME metal prices and local demand. Copper pays the most, followed by brass and aluminium, while iron pays less per kg. Call 0583593660 for today’s rate on your actual metal.
Which scrap metal pays the most in Saudi Arabia?
Clean copper usually pays the highest rate. Brass is next, then aluminium and stainless steel. Iron and steel are lower per kg but can add up to a good amount when the load is large.
Do you buy old and broken ACs?
Yes. We buy split, window and central AC units whether they work or not. Keeping the whole unit together usually gets a better price than removing parts yourself.
Do I need to bring the scrap to you?
No. For most loads in the Eastern Province, our team comes to your home, shop or site and loads the scrap for you.
Is there a minimum amount of scrap?
Small household loads are welcome. Very small amounts far from Dammam may not cover the trip, so call first and we will tell you honestly.
How do you weigh scrap?
We use a digital scale and weigh the metal in front of you. You can check the reading before we agree on the final price.
How will I get paid?
You get paid on the spot after weighing and agreeing on the amount. Confirm the payment method on the call before the visit.
Do you buy scrap in Riyadh?
Our daily work is in the Eastern Province. For large commercial loads in Riyadh, call us and we will discuss whether a trip is possible.
How can I get a better price for my scrap?
Sort metals into separate piles, remove plastic and rubber where it is safe, and sell larger amounts together. Never burn cables to remove insulation. It is dangerous and can lower the value.
