Yes, old aluminum kitchen cabinets can be recycled. Aluminum keeps its properties no matter how many times it is melted down, so even a scratched 20-year-old frame has real value. How much depends on weight, grade, and how clean the material is at collection. A single door will not pay for a holiday, but a full kitchen from a villa renovation adds up quickly once you include frames, shelves, and panels.
We have been buying scrap across the Eastern Province long enough to know the pattern. Someone renovates a kitchen, the old cabinets sit in the garage for six months, and eventually they get thrown out with general waste. That is money in the bin. Here is what we buy, how we price it, and how to get the most from a sale.
Why Sell Aluminum Kitchen Cabinet Scrap?
The obvious reason is cash. Aluminum handles humidity better than wood, which is why it became the default cabinet material in coastal cities like Khobar, Dammam, and Qatif. All those kitchens are now reaching renovation age, and the metal in them still has value.
The second reason is space. Old cabinets are bulky, and if you are a contractor clearing a site before handover, every day that scrap sits there costs you something.
The third reason matters more than people expect. Recycling aluminum uses a fraction of the energy needed to produce new metal, and it keeps usable material out of landfill. Every cabinet we collect gets recovered and returned to the supply chain instead of being buried.
Types of Aluminum Kitchen Cabinet Scrap We Buy
People often call us assuming we only want large quantities or perfectly clean metal. Not true. This is what crosses our scale every week.
Aluminum Cabinet Frames
The frame is the skeleton of the cabinet and usually the heaviest component. Frames from older Khobar kitchens tend to be thicker extrusions than modern ones, which works in your favor because weight drives price.
Aluminum Cabinet Doors
Doors come as solid aluminum sheets or aluminum frames with glass or acrylic inserts. We buy both. If the glass is still attached, we remove it during dismantling, though clean doors fetch a better rate.
Aluminum Drawers
Drawer boxes, runners, and fronts all count. Runners are sometimes steel, so we separate them during the free inspection. You do not need to figure this out yourself.
Aluminum Shelves
Shelving is usually thin-gauge sheet or slotted panels. Light, but it stacks up fast. A full kitchen typically has eight to fifteen shelves, and they are the easiest part to remove yourself.
Aluminum Panels
Side panels, back panels, and kick panels are often overlooked because they look flimsy. Collect them anyway. On a recent pickup in Al Thuqbah, the panels alone added several kilos to the total weight.
Renovation Scrap
Kitchen remodeling companies in Khobar call us with mixed loads: cabinets plus aluminum window frames, door frames, and trim from the same project. We take the whole lot and sort it at the yard.
Kitchen Demolition Scrap
Demolition scrap is the messiest category. Cabinets come out bent, mixed with tile debris, sometimes with wood or plastic attached. We still buy it. The rate is lower than for clean material, but for construction companies the speed of removal usually matters more than the last riyal.
How We Determine Scrap Value
This is the part sellers most want to understand, so here is our process without the mystery.
Weight. Everything starts on the scale. We use digital weighing at the collection point, and you watch the reading yourself. No estimates, no rounding in our favor.
Grade. Aluminum comes in different alloys. Cabinet extrusions are typically 6063 series, which is a solid mid-range grade. Cast handles and fittings are a different grade and priced separately.
Purity. Clean aluminum with no attachments earns the top rate. Screws, hinges, glass, laminate, and plastic edging all reduce it because they add processing work at the yard.
Quantity. Larger loads get better per-kilo rates because one trip for 300 kg costs us the same fuel as one trip for 30 kg. We still collect small quantities.
Condition. Bent or scratched aluminum melts the same as pristine aluminum, so cosmetic damage barely matters. Heavy corrosion or paint buildup matters a little more.
Accessibility. Cabinets still bolted to a fourth-floor wall in Al Ulaya take more labor than a pile stacked in a driveway. If you want us to dismantle, we will, and we factor that time into the offer openly rather than hiding it.
Transportation. Pickup anywhere in Khobar is free. Further out in the Eastern Province, toward Qatif for example, distance can affect the rate on smaller loads, and we say so upfront on the phone.
Market demand. Aluminum prices move with international markets, so a March quote may differ from a July quote. That is why we price against current rates, not a fixed list that goes stale.
| Aluminum Scrap Type | Common Source | Value Level |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet frames (thick extrusion) | Villa and apartment kitchens | High |
| Solid aluminum doors | Full kitchen replacements | High |
| Drawers and runners | Kitchen upgrades | Medium |
| Shelves and slotted panels | Cabinet interiors | Medium |
| Side, back, and kick panels | Cabinet dismantling | Medium |
| Handles and small fittings | Hardware replacement | Low |
| Mixed renovation scrap | Remodeling projects | Medium |
| Demolition scrap (contaminated) | Building teardowns | Low |
Value levels are relative, not fixed prices. Actual rates depend on the factors above and on the market on the day of sale. Call 0573057098 for a current quote.
Why Choose Saudi Scrap Metal?
Khobar has plenty of scrap buyers. Some quote one number on the phone and a different one when the truck arrives. Here is how we work, and you can hold us to every point.
The inspection is free with no obligation. If you do not like the offer, we leave, no hard feelings. Pickup is free within Khobar and surrounding areas, including Dammam and Dhahran. We weigh everything digitally in front of you, and payment happens immediately after weighing, in cash or by transfer.
If your cabinets are still installed, our team handles the dismantling. We bring the tools, remove the units without damaging your walls, and take everything in one visit. Restaurants and hotels appreciate this most, since a kitchen refit runs on a tight schedule and nobody wants scrap blocking a service corridor.
Response time is the other thing customers mention. Call in the morning and, most days, we can inspect the same day. Request a quote through https://saudiscrapmetal.com/ and we call you back rather than leaving you waiting on a form.
