Tangier is the gateway to the Strait and Morocco's biggest port — and therefore a major source of aluminium scrap in Tangier: the car industry, the port, logistics and construction sites. Whether you are a business or an individual, selling your aluminium in Tangier is simple: sort, estimate, collect. MOUMETAL buys your aluminium scrap in Tangier and across the region, with free estimation, transparent weighing and on-site collection. Here is what aluminium we buy, where it comes from in Tangier, and how the sale works.
What aluminium scrap do we buy in Tangier?
Aluminium is everywhere in Tangier — 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 Tangier.
- 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 Tangier?
Each zone of Tangier produces its own aluminium scrap:
- Tangier Free Zone: the city's free zone — factories, logistics and subcontractors — with regular flows of profiles, cables and aluminium machining offcuts.
- Tanger Med: the big port and its logistics zone — containers, metal structures, lifting equipment — with large loads during extensions.
- Renault Melloussa: the car plant and its suppliers — aluminium offcuts, cables and parts — a regular industrial flow.
- The port of Tangier: commercial and passenger port — ship maintenance, metal structures and port equipment.
- Mghogha and Gzenaya: the city's industrial zones — mechanical workshops, depots and small factories — with regular flows of steel, copper and aluminium.
- Construction sites: building and renovation across the city — reinforcing steel, copper, joinery.
Our article on scrap metal in Tangier shows the same logic for all metals.
How is the price of aluminium determined in Tangier?
It is the question everyone asks in Tangier. The answer comes down to a few factors, with no published tariff, because the price of aluminium in Tangier 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 Tangier 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 Tangier businesses, the lesson is clear: the aluminium collected in Tangier 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.
