Fez is Morocco's spiritual and artisanal capital, a city of coppersmiths, tanneries and industry — and therefore a major source of scrap metal in Fez: copper craftsmen, tanneries, industrial zones and construction sites produce large volumes of metals every year. Selling your scrap metal in Fez is simple: sort, estimate, collect. MOUMETAL buys your metals in Fez, with a free estimate, transparent weighing and on-site collection. Here is where the scrap metal in Fez is, which metals to sell and how it works.
Until now, finding a scrap dealer in Fez 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 Fez?
Fez's metals are concentrated in identified areas:
- Sidi Brahim : the historic industrial zone — metalwork workshops, joinery, depots and small factories — with regular flows of steel, copper and aluminium.
- Bensouda : the business zone north of the city, concentrating workshops, warehouses and service companies — sheet metal, racks, cables and machines.
- Fès Shore : the service and technology business park — IT equipment, copper cabling and metal structures during fit-outs.
- The medina and the coppersmiths : the coppersmiths' quarter, Seffarine Square — copper, brass and bronze worked by hand — with regular offcuts of non-ferrous metals.
- The tanneries : the Chouara tanneries and those of the medina — vats, stainless steel tanks, piping and metal workshop structures.
- The Sefrou road : the axis towards the south of the city, lined with workshops, depots and construction sites — construction and demolition scrap.
- 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 Fez page presents the service in detail, and our article on scrap metal in Casablanca shows the same logic in the economic capital.
Coppersmiths and crafts: the copper and brass of Fez
Coppersmithing is Fez's leading producer of non-ferrous metals. The workshops of the medina have worked copper and brass for centuries, and every workshop releases regular offcuts:
- Copper and brass offcuts : cuttings, sheet metal and coppersmithing pieces — trays, teapots, lamps — sorted by alloy from production.
- Tools and moulds : hammers, anvils, moulds and templates out of service, in steel and cast iron.
- Tanneries : vats, stainless steel tanks, piping and metal structures — see our article on scrap metal from tanneries and the leather industry.
- Metalwork workshops : ironwork, metal joinery and steel offcuts from the Sidi Brahim workshops.
- Medina renovations : old ironwork, copper piping and metal joinery from the old houses.
For a coppersmith, the key is sorting: copper and brass valorise all the better separated from the workshop, with no mixing with steel. MOUMETAL collects the workshops' regular offcuts as well as one-off renovation loads, with transparent weighing and a tracking slip. Our article on scrap metal from the hotel industry in Morocco details another type of professional collection; the one on scrap metal in Rabat shows the same logic in the capital.
Which metals can you sell in Fez?
Every metal sells in Fez, 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 coppersmiths of the medina and the workshops of Sidi Brahim also produce regular offcuts, which valorise all the better sorted from production.
Selling your scrap metal in Fez: businesses and households
The process is the same for a coppersmith, 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 industrial zones as well as the medina and the tanneries. 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 Fez 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 Fez?
This is the question everyone asks in Fez. 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 narrow lane of the medina — 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.

- Free estimate : we assess the load and give you an estimate with no obligation, based on the type of metal, its purity, the weight, the quantity, the condition of the load and the metals market.

MOUMETAL has no office in Fez: based in Casablanca, Route Moulay Thami in Dar Bouazza, the company collects on site across Morocco. Collections in Fez are therefore by appointment, with a dedicated truck — Sidi Brahim and Bensouda, the medina and the tanneries, the Sefrou road — and can be planned in several visits, at the pace of the works.
Metal recycling in Fez 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.
