Find someone who’ll actually
take your waste.
A free, crowd-compiled list of plastic and dry-waste recyclers, collectors and kabadiwalas — organised state by state, so you can send your waste to a real person instead of a landfill.
⚠ Independent, volunteer-run project. Not a government service — please verify details directly with each recycler.

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 — always confirm directly.
Price range by material (₹ per kg)
