Find your state
Tap a state below, or search the full directory by name, city or material.
Check what they take
Each listing shows what materials a recycler accepts, and how to reach them.
Confirm, then send
Contact them first to confirm they're accepting waste right now. Capacity changes often.
Browse by state
Card size reflects how many recyclers are currently listed for that state.
Search the directory
Filter by state or material, or search by name / city / handle.
No recyclers match those filters yet. Try clearing a filter, or add one you know.
Scrap market prices
Indicative wholesale prices for common dry-waste categories across India. Use these as a reference when negotiating with your kabadiwala or recycler. Prices vary by city, grade and volume, so always confirm directly.
Price range by material (₹ per kg)
