Who sells scrap in bulk
Bulk scrap comes from many places: factories and workshops in Ramnagar Industrial Area, Chandpur and Satharia; construction and demolition sites; hospitals, hotels and colleges; shops and warehouses clearing stock; offices replacing computers and furniture; and housing societies collecting paper and plastic. Each has different needs. A factory wants a regular buyer with a GST invoice; a family clearing an old house wants a quick, fair pickup; an office wants data on old hard disks destroyed.
How scrap rates are set
Scrap is priced by weight and grade. Iron and steel follow the steel market, copper and aluminium follow non-ferrous metal prices, and paper and plastic follow demand from mills and recyclers. Local rates also depend on transport distance, quantity and how clean the material is. That is why a "scrap rate per kg today" changes daily and differs between a mixed lot and a sorted one.
| What affects the price | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Material and grade | Copper is worth far more than iron; HMS 1 more than mixed iron |
| Sorting | Mixed lots are priced at the lowest material in them |
| Cleanliness | Oil, soil, wood or plastic attached to metal lowers the rate |
| Quantity | Truck loads get better rates than small lots |
| Distance and loading | Freight and labour are deducted from the rate |
| Payment terms | Advance or same-day payment can affect the offer |
Sorting for a better price
Separate your scrap into these heaps before buyers visit:
- Iron and steel: MS, HMS, cast iron, sheet cuttings, rods, pipes.
- Copper and brass: wire, cable, winding, fittings, utensils.
- Aluminium and stainless steel: sheets, sections, utensils, SS kitchen items.
- Paper and cardboard: newspaper, books, office paper, cartons (OCC).
- Plastic: PET bottles, HDPE drums, PP bags and crates, film.
- E-waste and batteries: computers, printers, UPS, mobiles, inverter and vehicle batteries.
- Machines and appliances: motors, generators, ACs, fridges, washing machines.
Even rough sorting usually raises the overall price, because each material is quoted at its own rate. Keep cable and motors whole; buyers price copper content better when they can see it.
Weighing honestly
- Prefer a dharam kanta (weighbridge) for truck loads: weigh the empty truck, then the loaded truck, and keep both slips.
- For smaller lots, use a calibrated electronic scale and watch every weighing.
- Ask for the weight slip and check it against your own estimate.
- Be careful with deductions for "moisture", "dust" or "wastage"; agree on them before loading.
Our Chandauli office is on Main Road, in front of Swastik Dharm Kata in Ramnagar Industrial Area, so weighbridge weighing is easy for loads from Ramnagar and Mughalsarai.
Payment and paperwork
- Get payment before loading, by bank transfer or UPI, or at least before the truck leaves.
- Businesses selling scrap should issue a GST invoice and, for consignments above the e-way bill limit, an e-way bill. Ask your accountant about the GST rate and any tax deducted or collected on scrap sales, as rules for scrap have changed over the years.
- E-waste and batteries must go to authorised recyclers or dealers under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 and the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022. Ask the buyer for proof of handover, which bulk consumers such as companies, hospitals and colleges may need for their records.
- For machinery and plant dismantling, agree in writing on what is being sold, the cutting and lifting work, safety and site clean-up.
Pickup and safety
For bulk loads, buyers send labour and a vehicle. Make sure loading is supervised, gas cylinders and pressure vessels are emptied and certified safe before cutting, and nobody cuts tanks that held fuel or chemicals without proper purging. For old ACs and fridges, gas should be recovered by trained technicians.

Selling regularly as a factory
Factories that generate scrap every month should set up a rate contract with one or two buyers, linked to a published market rate or renegotiated monthly, with a fixed pickup schedule and payment terms. Keep a scrap register (date, material, weight, rate, buyer, invoice number) to avoid leakage and to reconcile with production.

- Weigh on a dharam kanta or calibrated scale in front of you, and get paid before loading.
