Have an old car that nobody wants?

Recycling Mantra - Contributes towards sustainability and ensures optimum usage of resources.

So you ended up keeping and maintaining that old car over the years, but now with the new emission norms, it can no longer be driven. That old beauty which you have used down the years has now turned into a beast of burden that nobody wants to buy.

A lot of car lovers get stuck up in such situations where they simply cannot get rid of a vehicle. This can happen over time because they get too outdated or because their maintenance costs increase to a level that they become too expensive to own. Rising fuel costs are not too helpful in such a situation either.

The next best thing that one could do is find another owner or let it just lie there in the parking lot getting covered in dust. After a couple of months, such vehicles eventually end up getting scrapped at the junk yards.

What does one do? If you love the environment, the best thing you could do, is to take your vehicle to a car recycler. Car recyclers are not scrap buyers in Dubai! They are a team of field experts who would disassemble or shred your car completely, in a step-by-step manner. They would either quote you a lumsum price for your car or give you a price for the different parts individually. 

This helps the environment by not discarding the entire car, with all the lubricants, and oils intact, which eventually leak out (including toxic substances from batteries) and damage the environment. Additionally the car owner get better value as well that helps channel the various metals that can be used and helps them reach scrap metal yards in Dubai. 

Metal scrap companies in Dubai would then segregate the ferrous & non-ferrous scrap metals and re-process them into raw materials suitable for various industries around the world  or melt them into ingots which gets delivered to manufacturers; eventually reaching the production line as a new product.

So the next time you know someone who is about to junk their car, tell them what they could do to help save the environment.

GOOD NEWS FOR BEGINNERS STUDENT’S KNOWLEDGE OF SCRAP METALS RECYCLING

If you are student and want to have basic knowledge of scrap metals and it’s recycling then you don’t need to be a metallurgist, only you need to know the common metals which are used for re-purposing scrap metals into new products. Recycling companies in UAE, in collaboration with Scrap metals yards in Dubai, offers a wide range of technical and identification methods to segregate different types of metals fast.

But the question is how it is possible?

Do you know in scrap who is your best friend?  A “magnet”. An important tool which helps you in distinguishing between ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Now before learning how we can use the magnet for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, it is very important to understand the difference between ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

What is a ferrous metal?

Steel and Iron both come under this category available in hangers, washing machines and other household items.

What is a non-ferrous metal?

Other than steel and iron most other metals are non-ferrous like very common metals such as aluminium and copper found in electrical wires and window frames.

How we can use the magnet to identify which metal is ferrous or non-ferrous?

• If the magnet sticks, you have a ferrous metal.
• If the magnet doesn’t stick, you have a nonferrous metal.

So, if you don’t have magnets buy a small one and attached with your keychain, so it may not be misplaced.

If you want to know the value of scrap metals collected in-house or at schools, Dubai scrap yards will decide how much they will pay you for whatever type of metal you bring.

Safety is our first priority, so if you handle scrap metals, handle with care by wearing protective gloves because most of the metals have sharp edges or other contamination which may affect your health and safety.
