Scrapping Cans To The Scrap Yard

Canisters are really difficult to wave off. You need to know some tips on how to prepare the food and drink canisters for the scrap yard.

Organizing canisters for the scrap dump 

• Rinse the cans thoroughly. The scrap yards wouldn’t want food particles to be see over the metal you are selling.

• Crushing the cans have become a common behaviour with people. When your done gorging that delicious tuna or sipping the juice, you are most likely to crush the can. Try not crushing them if you are going to take them to the scrap dump. It is because the scrap yards would like to see the cans empty as they are with no litter inside the cans. 

• Categorize the canisters. Start with sorting steel canisters vis a vis aluminium. You can use a magnet to separate aluminium from steel. 

Collecting canisters

Collecting canisters is an activity to be executed with care. When you collect cans remember to ensure yourself you know the place thoroughly before collecting the cans. So if you want to collect cans or other scrap metal from a commercial or residential area, be sure to take permission from the concerned authorities and staff. It is important to know that intruding in an area to even collect metal scrap is prohibited.

Conclusion-

Some scrap dumps may not accept your food canisters as they may have certain limitations. The scrap yard may require the food canisters to be washed properly and or disavow them due to being crushed even slightly. Hence, ensure you follow the above tips to have the scrap yard accept your Aluminium Scrap in Qatar.

Lucky Recycling is pleased to participate as a logistics partner in the EEG’s Can Collection Drive 2012

Another collection drive comes across and we at The Lucky Group of Companies are proud to extend our support.

We at The Lucky Group have always been a company that cares for both its employees and strives to improve our environmental quality while progressing towards a clean and safer place to live and work for our future generations. We do this by continually participating in local events around us here in Dubai where we have our headquarters and do so year after year providing solutions for those who help save the environment like the Emirates Environmental Group.



Extracting Aluminium Ore from Bauxite is a resource hungry and energy intensive process which needs a lot of energy to fuel the large Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF). Recycling Aluminium that already exists in the form of cans takes up only 5% of the former’s energy requirement.

The Lucky Group in Dubai technically is all about saving the environment. Our modern facilities be it our scrap metal recycling facility at Dubai and Qatar or our secondary and semi-primary aluminium alloy production facility at Jebel Ali both strive to procure, process and make available quality feedstock and processed raw materials for our clients satiating the needs of local manufacturers reducing Dubai’s carbon footprint as a whole when it comes to producing metals in the UAE.

We also abide by our firm’s environmental policy of continuously progressing towards an environmentally friendly infrastructure, including regular and continued reassessments of our physical operations, encouraging a sustainable workplace that promotes an environmentally-conscious organizational culture. This not only helps us be more efficient but also saves the environment helping us provide and promote the use of green materials for our clients.
