Marrakech is the ochre city, Morocco's tourist capital — and therefore a major source of aluminium scrap in Marrakech: hotels and riads under renovation, construction sites, metalwork workshops and industrial zones. Whether you are a business or an individual, selling your aluminium in Marrakech is simple: sort, estimate, collect. MOUMETAL buys your aluminium scrap in Marrakech and across the region, with free estimation, transparent weighing and on-site collection. Here is what aluminium we buy, where it comes from in Marrakech, and how the sale works.
What aluminium scrap do we buy in Marrakech?
Aluminium is everywhere in Marrakech — in construction, cars, aerospace and industry — and every form has its own channel:
- Profiles and aluminium joinery: windows, doors, bay windows, verandas, railings — the number-one source from renovation and demolition sites in Marrakech.
- Aluminium cables: electric cables, harnesses and cable offcuts — insulated or stripped, they are sorted separately.
- Rims and car parts: aluminium rims, crankcases, cylinder heads, engine parts — the metal of the city's garages and breakers.
- Machining offcuts: chips, turnings and cutting offcuts from mechanical workshops — a regular, clean and easy-to-value flow.
- Sheets and cladding: sheets, panels, cladding and suspended ceilings from industrial and commercial buildings.
- Radiators and equipment: aluminium radiators, air conditioners, heat exchangers — to be dismantled cleanly before collection.
- Cans and packaging: cans, trays and aluminium packaging — in volume, for communities and catering companies.
- Motors and electrical equipment: motor casings, pumps, compressors.
Our article on buying aluminium in Morocco details each category and how to sort it before selling.
Where does aluminium come from in Marrakech?
Each zone of Marrakech produces its own aluminium scrap:
- Sidi Ghanem: the historic industrial zone — metalwork workshops, joinery, depots and small factories — with regular flows of steel, copper and aluminium.
- Tamansourt: the fast-growing new town west of the city, with new construction sites, workshops and depots in development.
- Al Massar: the business zone that concentrates workshops, warehouses and service companies — sheet metal, racking, cables and machines.
- The Aït Ourir road: the route heading east out of the city, lined with workshops, depots and construction sites — construction and demolition scrap.
- Guéliz and Hivernage: the district of the big hotels — Hivernage concentrates the high-end establishments — with hospitality metals: kitchens, air conditioning, plumbing and joinery.
- The medina and the riads: riad and old-house renovations produce scrap continuously — ironwork, copper pipework and metal joinery.
- Construction sites: building and renovation across the city — reinforcing steel, copper, metal joinery — see our articles on renovation and building demolition.
Our article on scrap metal in Marrakech shows the same logic for all metals.
How is the price of aluminium determined in Marrakech?
It is the question everyone asks in Marrakech. The answer comes down to a few factors, with no published tariff, because the price of aluminium in Marrakech moves with the metal markets. Every lot gets a free estimation, on site or from your description. Here is what matters:
- Sorting and alloy: a clean profile, a stripped cable or a sorted rim is not worth the same as a mixed load — this is the number-one factor for aluminium.
- Weight of the lot: aluminium is light, and weighing is done per kilo on site, in front of you, with full transparency.
- Metal market prices: aluminium is quoted on international markets. When prices rise, the value of your stock rises with them.
- Volume and regularity: a workshop producing offcuts every month is worth more than a one-off lot, because collection is easier to organise.
- Condition and cleanliness: clean aluminium, without thick paint or attached steel parts, is collected and sorted faster — which is why describing the lot from the first contact helps.
To understand more broadly how a scrap dealer sets its estimations, read our article on the price of scrap metal in Morocco: the same principles apply — weight, sorting, metal prices — with no published tariff, per kilo or per tonne.
The aluminium industry in Morocco: real industrial demand
Selling your aluminium in Marrakech means selling into an industry that exists and invests. In Berrechid, the ALUCOP foundry opened in 2024 a unit dedicated to recovering non-ferrous waste — copper and aluminium — with a transformation capacity of 42,500 tonnes per year and aluminium ingot production, to supply Morocco's automotive and electrical sectors. In Kenitra, the Samta group is building a non-ferrous metal recycling complex in the Atlantic Free Zone, operational in 2026, which will process 46,000 tonnes of aluminium and copper scrap per year to produce 20,000 tonnes of aluminium-silicon alloy ingots.
For Marrakech businesses, the lesson is clear: the aluminium collected in Marrakech goes to Moroccan foundries, not to raw export — and this is the formal, traceable and professional channel MOUMETAL offers, with free estimation, transparent weighing and a tracking slip for every collection.
