Given the fluctuating nature of scrap metal prices, it becomes imperative for trading companies in Dubai and other business centers to get their sourcing right. One of the more recent trends observed among Customers and other industry players alike has been the buzz around ‘Commodities’ – a buzz that is only going to grow louder as more and more markets open up to this form of trade.

An Easier Way To Recycle In Dubai

[caption id="attachment_184" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="Image credit: www.eurobricks.com"][/caption]

Population is on the rise each day. Increasing population leads to increasing waste. This is the scenario currently taking place in UAE. Thus companies have come up with special trucks to ease the problem of transportation and recycling of waste from your home/office, till the scrap yards in Dubai.

These trucks make recycling easier, as along as the people in Dubai take the initiative to separate everything that needs to be thrown away. Just the way you are used to separating wet from dry waste, you also need to separate the dry waste depending upon the material each item is made of. That is because aluminum scrap in Dubai needs to be stored and used for purposes different from ferrous scrap in Dubai and likewise for the other metals, rubber, batteries, etc. None of the metal scrap should be mixed. The trucks transfer different kinds of waste to different Dubai scrap yards where the scrap is meant to be, rather than uselessly ending up in landfills. Some of these truck services are also free of charge.

In spite of such a helpful service at hand, many citizens aren’t making use of them. The government and metal scrap companies in Dubai can only help you recycle and save the city, by making things more convenient. It is up to us to take advantage of their efforts and make our city a better place to live.

Where Should Drained Batteries Go?

An average household uses 21 batteries a year. Only 2% or less of all the batteries used are recycled.

[caption id="attachment_159" align="alignleft" width="193" caption="Image credit: www.ecodesign.at"][/caption]

You might often see a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on battery packs. Goods are marked with this symbol to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005, and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled. Thus the best thing to do when it comes to safely disposing battery packs is to recycle them at Dubai scrap yards. At our metal recycling company all kinds of batteries wet or dry can be recycled.

Why recycle batteries?

Releasing batteries carelessly into the environment is risky as batteries contain different kinds of heavy metals. The problem arises when these heavy metals are leaked out of the battery packaging and into the soil or the air. This also leads to water pollution. When our ponds, rivers and seas hold such toxic waste, they automatically pose a threat to the invertebrates living in the water. Thus human beings can be harmed through the soil, the air and the water when toxic elements are released into it.

Batteries contain all kinds of metals that can be reused by manufacturers. They contain lead, zinc, plastic, nickel, hydrogen, cadmium, iron nickel, mercury, etc. which can be reused and reprocessed in many ways. Better recycle and reuse than let products like these affect the environment. Lucky Recycling invests in drained batteries. They are handled well at our fully equipped operational recycling facilities. Visit us at www.luckygroup.com.

[caption id="attachment_66" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="image credit: uga.edu"][/caption]

While the metal recycling companies in Dubai are looking after recycling metals. We can also contribute in some way to decrease the amount of refuses. In my earlier posts I have discussed about shopping malls creating a high amount of wastes. We can take a few simple steps to decrease the amount of wastes.

1. Carry your own bag: whenever you decide to go for shopping make it a point to take you own bag along with you. This will stop usage of new bags, and reuse is recycling.


2. Reuse banners and hoardings: The people working at shopping malls should not throw away the banners, hording posters etc. they can be reused for making bags of paper or cloth. Or the cloth can be used as a rug to clean things.


3. Penalty for wasting food: all the malls should fine people who waste food. They should also be fined if they waste glasses, plates and spoons made of paper or plastic.


4. Take as required: mall authority should not give away tissues or water bottles in abundance. Keep a check that everyone should get as much as they require.


5. Recycle centers: whatever amount of waste is gathered should be given to the Recycling center by the authority at the mall.


6. Promoting recycling: many people visit malls. So they are the right place to educate a large amount of people on the benefits of recycling. If right type of promotion is done for recycling then malls themselves would be benefited.

These are few steps which every citizen of Dubai can follow to reduce wastes. A visit to the Dubai scrap yard will surely convince you to recycle things. Lucky group is one such company who is actively working for recycling metals. Their company is called Lucky Recycling.

2. Recycling batteries will help in keeping heavy metal out of landfill and the air. The recovered plastic and metal is used for making new batteries.


3. Mercury oxide and silver oxide button batteries are often collected by jewelers, pharmacies and hearing aid stores.


4. One should try to use rechargeable batteries so that the wastage of batteries is reduced to some extent.


5. Older batteries can contain up to ten times more mercury than newer batteries. Rechargeable batteries can also contain heavily toxic materials and should be recycled or properly disposed of.
