A

  • AlmirahMetals₹30/kg
    What
    Grills, rods, machinery. Priced as iron and mild steel.
    How we take it
    We collect it from your door, weigh it in front of you on a calibrated scale, and pay on the spot at the rate published on this page.
    Why
    Metal is the highest-value scrap in most homes, and it can be remelted again and again without losing quality. That steady mill demand is why there is always a price on it.
    How to prepare it
    Keep it dry and separate it by type where you can. A mixed load gets graded down to the cheapest metal in it, so sorting is the single biggest thing you control.
  • Aluminium foil and traysMetals₹150/kg
    What
    Utensils, frames, cans. Priced as aluminium.

    Lead-acid cells from cars, inverters and UPS units. Heavy, and worth collecting for the lead alone.

    How to prepare it
    Keep it upright and do not tip it — the acid is the hazard, the lead is the value. Never open the casing.
