MAB Scrap Metal buyer copper scrap in Al Jubail, covering Jubail Industrial City, Jubail Al Balad and the surrounding areas. We take copper wire, pipe, cable, busbar, sheet, radiators and industrial copper waste. Free inspection, digital weighing, cash on collection. Call 0572188268.
Jubail is an industrial city, and industrial cities generate copper. Plant maintenance, panel upgrades, pipe replacement, cable pulls and workshop offcuts all produce it. Copper is the most valuable common metal a site can sell, and it is also the one most often lost in a mixed scrap pile.
What copper we buy in Al Jubail
Bare bright copper wire
Clean, stripped, uncoated copper wire. This is the top grade. Nothing else beats it per kilogram.
Copper pipe and tube
Plumbing pipe, AC refrigerant tubing and process pipework. Clean pipe with no fittings grades highest.
Insulated copper cable
Power cable, house wiring and armoured cable. Paid on the copper recoverable inside, so thick core cable earns more than thin.
Busbar and panel copper
Distribution board busbar, switchgear copper and earth strip from electrical upgrades.
Copper sheet and plate
Offcuts from fabrication, roofing and industrial applications.
Motor windings and coils
From electric motors, transformers, generators and pumps.
Radiators and AC coils
Copper and copper-aluminium radiators. These are mixed metal, so we sort and weigh them separately.
Industrial and mixed copper
Turnings, offcuts, dirty copper and mixed grades from plant clearances.
Copper grades and value levels
Copper is not one rate. Grade decides everything, and buyers judge grade on purity and how much non-copper is attached.
| Grade | What it looks like | Value level |
|---|---|---|
| Bare bright copper | Clean stripped wire, no coating | Highest |
| Clean copper pipe and sheet | No fittings, no solder, no paint | High |
| Copper busbar | Bolts and washers removed | High |
| Insulated heavy cable | Thick copper core | Medium to high |
| Motor windings | Varnished, in the casing | Medium |
| Copper radiators / AC coils | Copper with aluminium fins | Medium |
| Dirty or mixed copper | Painted, soldered, with steel attached | Lower |
| Burnt copper | Blackened from burning insulation | Downgraded |
We do not publish fixed riyal rates. Copper trades internationally and the rate moves week to week, so a number printed today would mislead you next month. Call 0572188268 for a quote on the day.

Getting the best rate for your copper
- Sort by grade. Bare wire in one pile, pipe in another, cable in a third. A mixed pile is quoted at the lowest grade in it, which is an expensive way to save five minutes.
- Remove obvious attachments. Brass fittings, steel brackets and solder joints pull the grade down.
- Keep it dry and covered. Copper left in the open picks up sand and oxidation.
- Never burn cable. Burnt copper is graded down, not up, and burning insulation is illegal and releases toxic fumes. Sellers who burn usually end up with less.
- Sell in volume. Larger loads get better rates because handling costs less per kilogram.
- Compare quotes. Call two or three buyers. On copper, a small difference per kilo adds up quickly.

Frequently asked questions
What is today’s copper scrap price in Al Jubail?
It tracks the international copper market and changes regularly. Call 0572188268 for the current rate on your grade.
Which copper grade pays the most?
Bare bright copper wire, because it is clean single metal that melts with minimal loss.
Do you buy insulated cable as well as bare wire?
Yes. Cable is paid on the copper recoverable inside, so it sits below bare wire but is still well worth selling.
Should I strip the cable myself?
For thick cable in small amounts it can pay. For thin cable it rarely does. Never burn it.
Is there a minimum quantity for Jubail?
No strict minimum. Small household lots are easiest combined with other scrap.
Do you collect from inside Jubail Industrial City?
Yes. We work to site access rules and can arrange scheduled collection for plants and contractors.
Do you buy copper motor windings?
Yes, including motors, transformers and generator coils, whole or stripped.
How do I know the weighing is honest?
Digital scale, in your presence, with each grade weighed and recorded separately before loading.
Can you buy aluminium and steel at the same time?
Yes. Aluminium, steel, cable and AC units are all bought in the same visit and weighed separately.
How quickly can you come to Jubail?
Usually same day or next day, depending on the day’s schedule and site access.
