Scrap metal recycling in Saudi Arabia is the collection, processing and sale of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap to mills, smelters and exporters. This page covers the market for steel scrap, the permits and licences that apply in 2026, how to prepare and weigh loads, and what to ask a yard before you sell.
Dammam is growing fast, and its water and environmental services market follows both city utilities and industrial effluent. The Dammam West independent sewage treatment plant, developed by a consortium of Metito, Orascom and Mowah at a reported cost of US$185 million, treats 200,000 cubic metres a day under a 25 year operating contract and was reported inaugurated in September 2025 (MEED). The scheme uses a build, own, operate and transfer model, with local content expected to rise over the contract. Related demand comes for sewage treatment plants, water pumping stations and water pipeline materials.
Factories in the industrial cities and port users manage process water and effluent. Reverse osmosis systems, industrial effluent treatment, water filtration systems and sludge dewatering equipment are common orders. Oil and gas sites add hazardous waste disposal and soil remediation services. Salty groundwater and warm seawater make corrosion resistant materials a standard question.
Treatment systems are designed from water analysis, so start by sampling your feed water in the plant and give suppliers the results, flow rate and target quality. Ask for pilot data on similar water, membrane replacement intervals and chemical consumption. Check that spare membranes, pumps and dosing parts are stocked in the Eastern Province.
Discharge and waste rules apply to industrial sites, and the National Center for Environmental Compliance and the Eastern Province Municipality set requirements for permits and disposal. Confirm which licence you hold before ordering effluent plant, and use licensed waste carriers only. The municipality and Saudi Water Partnership Company sign off on connections to the public sewer, so agree discharge quality early.

Dammam is the Eastern Province's administrative centre and its main trading port, and most of its factories sit in estates run by MODON, the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones. The Dammam First, Second and Third Industrial Cities each serve a different stage of the city's growth. In December 2024 MODON reported contracts that included ready-built factories of 900 square metres, a fire station in the First Industrial City and phase two infrastructure upgrades in the Third. The Second Industrial City took 20 ready-built factories of 700 square metres in a 2022 MODON announcement. The Third Industrial City is the large one: about 48 million square metres south of Dammam along the Dhahran-Uqair Road, planned in 2013 for petroleum, mineral, plastic, automobile, food and building-materials industries. In October 2024 three MODON projects worth over SAR 318 million were reported there, including a 4.5 km road to King Salman Energy City. That energy city, known as SPARK, lies between Dammam and Al-Ahsa and was described in 2024 as a 50 square kilometre site for oil and gas suppliers. In November 2024 the Eastern Province Municipality awarded a further 2.4 million square metre industrial city project in Dammam.
King Abdulaziz Port is the gateway. A January 2026 report put its container capacity at just under 3.9 million TEU, and said Saudi Global Ports plans to invest SAR 3.5 billion in Dammam by 2030, including an integrated logistics park. The port is about 400 km from Riyadh, and the same report counted five to seven daily rail services between Dammam and two Riyadh locations. Dammam Airports announced agreements worth over SAR 500 million for airport upgrades in October 2025. Ask your forwarder whether your shipment clears at the port or moves in bond to the destination.
MODON handles plots and leases inside its estates. The Eastern Province Amana, based in Dammam, covers five municipalities, namely Dhahran, East Dammam, Central Dammam, West Dammam and al-Khobar, and issues certain professional licences. The Saudi Food and Drug Authority oversees food, medicines and medical equipment. Civil Defense approves fire and life safety, and Saudi Electricity Company connects power. Confirm each current process on the authority's own platform.
Oil and gas services lead, because Aramco is headquartered in nearby Dhahran and runs its iktva local-content programme for suppliers. Food and beverage plants, metal and plastic workshops, construction and data centres follow.
