RECYCLING IS A MUST FOR EVERY MODERN CITY

The Middle East has grown both economically and demographically in recent years having very modern cities like Dubai. As our cities grow and move towards a brighter future, so does the population within it. Having a moderately populated country helps in improving the national income of the country as a whole.

But along with such advancement comes the question of waste disposal. Waste disposal here is not an issue; the issue here is about recycling. How many of us in Dubai actually make an effort to recycle? The effort lies in not dumping all the waste together but in segregating it. It is not a difficult task to follow and one can accomplish such a task by simply having different bins for different items right in our homes. Once we begin to follow such a regime, it becomes a part of our daily lives and works for the betterment of our own future.

The same trash that we segregate at home follows their individual paths into recycling facilities and then they take up the tedious job of processing and providing scrap back again into raw materials for manufacturers. Scrap buyers in Dubai like Lucky Recycling, a division of the Lucky Group have done a great job in taking care and helping in the problem of disposal of metals in Dubai. The Lucky Group’s experience and association with multiple countries in the Middle East helps the environment in getting rid of all the scrap metal while reducing the need for mining which damages our beautiful planet.

How To Maximise Value Of Money Received On Aluminium Scrap Recycling?

Aluminum is one of the most popular metals known for its lightweight (therefore convenient handling) and non-ferrous quality. Aluminum scrap recycling can get you a tidy profit when you know the various grades of aluminum and sort them out as follows.

Grades of Aluminium-

Radiators- A clean radiator is the one that is devoid of plastic, hoses, steel and tanks unlike a contaminated one giving you less value for your scrap.

Sidings- Sidings are present in aluminum objects like downpipes and sinks. They should not be contaminated with items like tar, steel, or Styrofoam.

Cast- Usually brittle with a grainy texture inside, cast is used in engine cylinder heads of cars, housing lights and barbeque covers.

Aluminium Radiators- They’re available in air conditioners. Cut off the steel flanges if any for better value on scrap. Steel flanges can also be sold as scrap.

Extrusions- A clean aluminum extrusion like a window frame is devoid of any kind of plastic, rubber and steel.

Aluminum Sheet- It is the lowest grade of aluminium scrap found across all items not mentioned above including pots, pans, and lawn chairs.

Conclusion-

Sort and clean the Aluminum Scrap Recycling items as per the grades above and get best prices for your scrap.

Scrap Cost Update: Aluminum Price To Rise?

Hey  Scrappers!

We bring to your notice the status of scrap metals Qatar prices. So whether it is the price of copper scrap in Qatar or Aluminum Scrap in Qatar, you will get all the price updates here.

Copper to bounce back in early 2016?

The price of Copper Scrap in Qatar is very much dependent on the price of copper itself. So analyzing the trend, copper prices have been low for the past few days which is a nice thing. It’s a nice thing as it leaves room for copper prices to rise in first half of 2016 as claimed by industry professionals.

So does that mean one can bet the house as well as hold his material? No, but it won’t hurt to hold one or two items and explore what happens.

Aluminum scrap in Qatar price to rise?

Are steel prices scheduled to go up?

Steel prices seem to (at least the rumors suggest) rise slowly. However, the prices don’t show a significant difference. The market is eyeing the prices of steel in china, because that will affect global prices of steel which will in turn affect steel scrap prices in Qatar. Let’s see what the New Year has for Scrap Metals Qatar community.

Current scrap metal prices-

• Bare Bright Copper: $1.81-$2.06

Aluminum and its most striking features

Aluminum is a silvery-white metal that is abundantly present in earth’s crust. Its attributes and utilities make it one of the most useful materials known to man. Aluminum is tremendously versatile and has more than 300 recognized alloy compositions. An Aluminum alloy is an alloy in which Aluminum is the predominant metal. The alloying elements used most frequently by aluminum alloy manufacturers are magnesium, copper, silicon, zinc and manganese.

Aluminum and its alloys are used quite extensively in the production of engineering structures, transportation facilities and packaging. The various properties of aluminum that make it a superior metal are as follows:

• Durability: Although these alloys tend to lose a bit of strength at tremendously high temperatures, their strength increases at sub zero temperatures. This important property makes aluminum an extremely useful low-temperature alloy.

• Corrosion resistant: Aluminum alloys also have a strong resistance to corrosion. This Property of aluminum is a result of its reactions to the atmosphere. This protective oxide skin that is created due to the atmosphere, shields it from weathering conditions, chemicals and acids.

• Good electrical conductor: It is also an extremely good electrical conductor and is used more than copper even though the latter is a better conductor. This is because of its low density and its high cost efficiency.

• Malleable: Like gold, aluminum is an extremely malleable metal and can be cast into many forms. Aluminum can easily be rolled, forged, hammered and stamped into a variety of shapes. Aluminum can also have a wide variety of surface finishes and does not produce toxic fumes when burned at high temperatures.

• Light weight: Aluminum is very light weight and has a low density. This makes it an excellent choice of material in the manufacturing of airplanes. It also makes aluminum easier and cheaper to ship and transport.

One of the most striking features of Aluminum is that it can be recycled over and over, without losing any of its properties or compromising on quality. Because of its various utilities and abundant availability, scrap recycling companies and scrap dealers have come to realize the immense value of this precious metal.
