Kenitra is Morocco's automotive capital — and therefore one of the country's largest sources of scrap metal in Kenitra: car factories, subcontractors, industrial zones and construction sites produce large volumes of metals every year. Selling your scrap metal in Kenitra is simple: sort, estimate, collect. MOUMETAL buys your metals in Kenitra, with a free estimate, transparent weighing and on-site collection.
Until now, finding a scrap dealer in Kenitra focused on professionals was not easy: 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, with a concrete on-site collection service.
Kenitra, Morocco's automotive capital
Kenitra concentrates one of Morocco's densest automotive ecosystems, around the Atlantic Free Zone and Stellantis:
- The Atlantic Free Zone : Kenitra's free zone — car makers, equipment suppliers, cable manufacturers and subcontractors — sheet metal, stamping offcuts, cables and coils.
- The Stellantis ecosystem : the plant and its suppliers — body parts, chassis, wiring harnesses, engines — with regular flows of steel, copper and aluminium.
- Equipment suppliers and cable plants : the cable and wiring-harness factories of the zone — copper and aluminium — with regular offcuts of cables and coils.
- The port of Kenitra : the river port on the Sebou, serving the zone's factories — containers, metal structures and handling equipment.
- The city's industrial zones : the mechanical, sheet-metal and maintenance workshops — machines, racks, sheet metal and wear parts.
- Construction sites : building and renovation across the city — rebar steel, copper, joinery — see our article on scrap metal from auto repair garages and mechanics in Morocco.
Our article on scrap metal in Rabat shows the same logic in the nearby capital.
Samta: Kenitra becomes the hub of non-ferrous metal recycling
Kenitra no longer just produces metals: the city is also becoming the place where they are recycled. The recycling complex of Samta Metals & Alloys, in the Atlantic Free Zone, illustrates this shift: construction launched in May 2026, over 36,600 m², to treat 46,000 tonnes of aluminium and copper scrap every year. Planned output: 20,000 tonnes of aluminium-silicon alloy ingots and 15,000 tonnes of copper wire coils, with more than 400 jobs, and commissioning in 2026.
What this changes for scrap sellers in Kenitra:
- Strong local demand : sorted aluminium and copper now find an industrial outlet a few kilometres from the factories that produce them.
- Automotive offcuts better valorised : aluminium offcuts and copper cables from equipment suppliers feed a local channel directly, instead of being shipped far away.
- Sorting that pays : a load of aluminium or copper that is well sorted and clean is exactly what this type of plant looks for.
- A traced channel : the metals collected by MOUMETAL are sorted, weighed and sent to approved channels.
The press covered Samta as industrial news. What was missing was the link with the ground: who collects the offcuts from the factories, how they are sorted and where they go. That is the service MOUMETAL provides in Kenitra — on-site collection, sorting by metal family and routing to approved channels. Metal recycling in Kenitra thus runs through a complete channel, from the factory to the recycler.
Which metals can you sell in Kenitra?
Every metal sells in Kenitra:
- Steel and iron : the main volume — rebar steel, structures, sheet metal, stamping offcuts, machines, chassis. See our article on scrap metal from steelworks and foundries in Morocco.
- Copper : cables, wiring harnesses, piping, motors, transformers — the most valuable metal. Its value depends on the purity of the copper, its condition, the quantity and the metals market, with no published tariff — MOUMETAL gives you a free estimate on site. 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, industrial equipment, piping.
- Brass and bronze : taps, fittings, plumbing parts.
- Used batteries : cars, trucks, forklifts, UPS units — see our article on buying used batteries in Morocco.
- Electric motors : motors, pumps, compressors — see our article on valorising used electric motors.
The Atlantic Free Zone factories also produce regular offcuts, which valorise all the better sorted from production.
Selling your scrap metal in Kenitra: how it works
The process is the same for a factory, a subcontractor and a household:
- Contact : call us on +212 660 690 806, write to us on WhatsApp or through our form, describing your stock: metals, quantities, address in Kenitra or in the region.
- Estimate : MOUMETAL gives you a free estimate, on description or on site. The value of a load moves with the metals market, with no published tariff: type of metal, purity, weight, quantity, condition of the load and the metals market — see our article on the price of scrap metal in Morocco.
- Sort : separate the metals by family — steel, copper, aluminium, stainless steel, batteries — never mixing batteries with ordinary scrap. A sorted load always valorises better than a mix — see our guide to sorting metals in a business.
- Collect : we come with the right truck, including for heavy loads, in the Atlantic Free Zone as well as the city's workshops, and weighing is done on site, in front of you.
- Get paid and traced : you are paid quickly and you receive a tracking slip towards approved channels.
For households, scrap metal collection in Kenitra at home 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, regular, scheduled collections, at the pace of production. See also our article on scrap metal from cable manufacturers in Morocco.
Preparing your scrap before selling
A few simple steps before collection raise the value of the load:
- Sort by metal : one bin for steel, one for copper, one for aluminium, one for stainless steel — sorting is the number one factor.
- Separate copper cables : cables and harnesses sell better separated from other metals — do not throw them into the steel bin.
- Remove foreign matter : plastic, wood and rubber mixed into the load lower its value — clean metal always valorises better.
- Secure batteries : store them separately, sheltered and upright, without opening or piercing them — they are collected separately.
- Dismantle when possible : a dismantled motor or a radiator separated from its support sorts better than a mixed assembly.
- Prepare the paperwork : for businesses, keep a record of where the loads come from — and for scrap sales by tender or stock disposal, prepare the inventory of metals, the quantities and access to the site before contacting the buyer.
A prepared load means a faster collection, clearer weighing and better valorisation.

MOUMETAL has no office in Kenitra: based in Casablanca, Route Moulay Thami in Dar Bouazza, the company collects on site across Morocco. Collections in Kenitra are therefore by appointment, with a dedicated truck — Atlantic Free Zone, port, industrial zones and workshops — in several visits if needed, at the pace of production.
