Agadir is the great port of southern Morocco, a city of fishing, canneries and agri-food — and therefore a major source of scrap metal in Agadir: the fishing port, sardine canneries, industrial zones and construction sites produce large volumes of metals every year. Selling your scrap metal in Agadir is simple: sort, estimate, collect. MOUMETAL buys your metals in Agadir, with a free estimate, transparent weighing and on-site collection. Here is where the scrap metal in Agadir is, which metals to sell and how it works.
Until now, finding a scrap dealer in Agadir focused on professionals was not easy: household waste sorting centres do not buy business metals, and general listings describe neither the zones, nor the sectors, nor the collection process. This guide fills that gap: zones, sectors, metals and the collection process.
Where is the scrap metal in Agadir?
Agadir's metals are concentrated in identified areas:
- The fishing port : Morocco's leading fishing port — ships, canneries, cold rooms and maintenance workshops — with regular flows of steel, stainless steel and copper.
- Anza : the industrial zone north of the city — canneries, mechanical workshops, depots and small factories — with regular flows of steel, copper and aluminium.
- Tikiouine : the business zone east of the city, concentrating workshops, warehouses and service companies — sheet metal, racks, cables and machines.
- Aït Melloul : the neighbouring industrial zone, in Greater Agadir — agri-food, packaging and logistics — with regular metal offcuts.
- The bay and the hotels : the seafront and the tourist establishments — kitchens, air conditioning, plumbing and joinery during renovations.
- The Souss plain : the early-produce packing stations and agri-food units around Agadir — stainless steel tanks, sorting lines and cold rooms.
- Construction sites : building and renovation across the city — rebar steel, copper, joinery — see our articles on building renovation and building demolition.
Our scrap metal in Agadir page presents the service in detail, and our article on scrap metal in Tangier shows the same logic in another major port city.
Port and canneries: the fishing industry's scrap metal
Fishing is Agadir's leading producer of metals. A fishing port and its canneries release large loads continuously:
- Sardine canneries : production lines, stainless steel tanks, autoclaves and boilers replaced during modernisations.
- Cold rooms and refrigeration units : compressors, condensers, copper piping and metal panels.
- Ships and naval maintenance : sheet metal, engines, pumps and deck equipment during refits.
- Mechanical workshops : engines, wear parts, machining offcuts and tools out of service.
- Port logistics : containers, racks, trolleys and storage structures.
For a cannery, the key is organisation: a line modernisation is planned, and the removal of the metals too. MOUMETAL steps in during or after the works, with the right truck, without disrupting the activity. Our article on scrap metal from fishing and canneries in Morocco details this type of collection; the one on scrap metal from ports and shipyards completes the picture.
Which metals can you sell in Agadir?
Every metal sells in Agadir, and the city produces them all:
- Steel and iron : the main volume — rebar steel, structures, sheet metal, machines, chassis.
- Copper : cables, piping, motors, transformers — the most valuable metal. See our article on buying copper in Morocco.
- Aluminium : profiles, joinery, rims, machining offcuts, cables. See our article on buying aluminium in Morocco.
- Stainless steel : professional kitchens, agri-food equipment, piping.
- Brass and bronze : taps, fittings, plumbing parts.
- Used batteries : cars, trucks, forklifts, UPS units.
- Electric motors : motors, pumps, compressors.
The canneries of Anza and the agri-food units of the Souss also produce regular offcuts, which valorise all the better sorted from production.
Selling your scrap metal in Agadir: businesses and households
The process is the same for a cannery, a factory and a household:
- Sort : separate the metals by family — steel, copper, aluminium, stainless steel, batteries — and never mix batteries with ordinary scrap. A sorted load always valorises better than a mix — see our guide to sorting metals in a business.
- Estimate : describe your stock — types of metals, approximate quantities, address — and MOUMETAL gives you a free estimate.
- Collect : we come with the right truck, including for heavy loads, in the industrial zones as well as the port and the canneries. Weighing is done on site, in front of you, in full transparency.
- Get paid and traced : you are paid quickly and you receive a tracking slip for the load, towards approved channels.
For households, home metal collection in Agadir is possible: a load of a few hundred kilos — old radiators, sheet metal, cables, appliances out of service — is enough to organise a collection. For businesses, we organise regular, scheduled collections.
How is a load of scrap metal estimated in Agadir?
This is the question everyone asks in Agadir. The value of a load moves with the metals market, with no published tariff: every load gets a free estimate, on site or on description. Here is what counts:
- The type of metal : copper and stainless steel weigh heavily in the estimate, aluminium follows, steel and cast iron make up the volume.
- Purity and sorting : a load sorted by metal, with no mixing and no foreign matter, always valorises better than a mixed load — it is the number one factor.
- Weight and quantity : the estimate is based on the weighed weight and the total quantity of the load — a regular stock valorises better than an isolated load.
- The condition of the load : clean, well-kept metal valorises better than oxidised metal or metal mixed with waste.
- The metals market : copper, aluminium and steel are quoted on international markets, and the value of your stock rises with them.
- Distance and access : an accessible load, at ground level or in a yard, is collected faster than a load to dismantle at height or in a port area with regulated access — describe the site to us from the first contact.
To understand more broadly how a scrap dealer sets its estimates, read our article on the price of scrap metal in Morocco: the same principles apply, with no published tariff.

MOUMETAL has no office in Agadir: based in Casablanca, Route Moulay Thami in Dar Bouazza, the company collects on site across Morocco. Collections in Agadir are therefore by appointment, with a dedicated truck — the port and Anza, Tikiouine and Aït Melloul, the bay hotels — and can be planned in several visits, at the pace of the works.
Metal recycling in Agadir thus goes through a traced channel: the metals collected are sorted, weighed and sent to approved channels. For businesses, it is the guarantee of a clean, documented and compliant collection, with a free estimate, transparent weighing and a tracking slip.
