When to Visit a Recycling Centre?

So, all set to actively get into a recycling pattern?
Well, you need to know that there are certain days and seasons in which scrap recycling companies in Dubai, pay you more. So, how do you exactly identify these days? Read on to find out more!

The winter months are not that great for visiting a scrap metal recycling centre in Dubai. This is majorly because the scrap prices are generally low in this season. On the other hand, these centres pay you pretty good prices in the summer season. If you are a construction company or a business, this is especially a good time for you to sell of all the metal scrap that you have collected over the winter.

Also, you should either go to a scrap dealer either in the beginning or towards the end of a month. These are the times scrap dealers encourage higher prices as people look forward to de-cluttering their houses. However, try to visit a recycling centre mid week rather than going on a weekend. These centres are generally crowded on the weekend; you might have to wait for a long time.

For every individual who is looking forward to recycling scrap materials, it is important that you make a note of the time you are going to a scrap metal company. Well, apart from keeping a track on the seasons and days of the week, it is also advisable to check with the working hours and days of the recycling centre. While it may seem very obvious to do so, it is something many of us forget and later regret an unfruitful trip.

So, gather all the scrap in your house or office and mark your calendar for a recycling date!

How to Start Recycling At Home

There are so many things which you do not need or are not in use for a long time. Instead of simply throwing these things in the dumpster, you can reuse them even more efficiently.  “Charity begins at home”, they say. Well, in this case, you aren’t doing a charity as such, but you are definitely helping the world to be a better place to live in. So, how do you go about it?

Look around in your house and see which are the items that you think is clutter, and you are thinking of disposing? You will find a lot of things in the kitchen which are can be used again. All your kitchen leftovers, food scraps and yard trimmings can be turned into good compost and can be used as a great fertilizer for your plants.

Do not throw away newspapers in the trash. Stack them separately as they can be sent for newsprint recycling directly. And not just the newspapers, you can store magazines, booklets, pamphlets, envelopes, old letters and other such paper materials together. Corrugated cardboard is also another material which is highly valued when it comes to recycling.

Apart from these things, you can collect things like aluminium cans, plastic bottles and tins which are recyclable. You can make things easier for the recycling company by flattening these cans. However, if that is not possible the least you can do is to clean them and hand them over hygienically for recycling.


You can contact your nearest recycling centre and ask them to collect things from your place, or you can yourself drop them off to these places. Thus, these are a few things which can help you to do your bit towards the society and the environment.
