Iraq Regulates Scrap Metal and Military Equipment Disposal

The Iraqi Cabinet has introduced new guidelines for managing scrap metal, military surplus, and industrial waste. The key points of the new regulations are as follows:

  • Free Transfers: The Ministries of Defence, Interior, and other security agencies will now transfer decommissioned military equipment, empty ammunition cases, and military-grade scrap metal to the Military Industrialisation Authority without any cost.
  • Brass Transfers: All government ministries and agencies are required to transfer brass materials to the Military Industrialisation Authority free of charge.
  • Sale of Copper, Aluminium, and Lead: Civilian ministries and non-security organizations will sell copper, aluminum, and lead materials either to the Ministry of Industry and Minerals or the Military Industrialisation Authority, or exchange them for available products.
  • Iron Scrap:
    • Civilian iron scrap will be sold to the Ministry of Industry and Minerals.
    • Security agencies will either sell or exchange their iron scrap with the Military Industrialisation Authority.
  • Transport Regulations: The previous restrictions on the movement of civilian iron scrap between provinces have been lifted, as per an earlier Cabinet decision.
  • Radioactive Material Testing: All owners of scrap metal must acquire certificates confirming that their materials are free of radioactive contamination.
  • Transport Approval: The Joint Operations Command will issue transport orders within 72 hours to facilitate the movement of materials.
  • Policy Revisions: Conflicting Cabinet decisions from 2017, 2023, and 2024 have been revoked to simplify and unify these regulations.
