We buy MS scrap, HMS, copper, aluminium, stainless steel, machinery, e-waste, construction steel, and all factory scrap — from plants, warehouses, workshops, and construction sites across India.
Call Now: +91 82978 65751Every manufacturing unit, fabrication plant, engineering workshop, construction project, and industrial warehouse generates scrap. Steel offcuts from production lines, copper wiring from electrical upgrades, dismantled machinery from plant modernisation, server equipment from IT refresh cycles — industrial scrap accumulates fast. When it sits idle, it occupies valuable floor space that costs your business money every single day.
At A S Traders, we are professional industrial scrap buyers with years of hands-on experience serving industries of all sizes across India. Our entire process is built around your operational convenience: you call us, we visit your site, we weigh your scrap using certified calibrated digital scales in your presence, and we pay you the same day. No middlemen, no delayed settlements, no surprise deductions after the fact.
We understand the difference between a casual scrap collector and a trained industrial scrap dealer. Bulk industrial scrap requires proper handling equipment, compliant weighing systems, regulated disposal for hazardous waste streams, and a logistics operation that does not disrupt your day-to-day business. A S Traders brings all of that to every job we take on — whether it is a single motor pickup or a complete multi-building factory clearance.
India's scrap recycling industry is at an inflection point. Domestic crude steel capacity is projected to double to 300 million tonnes, and Electric Arc Furnace-based steelmaking — which depends entirely on scrap as its primary raw material input — is expected to account for up to 50 percent of total output in the coming years. The Material Recycling Association of India (MRAI) projects total scrap demand could reach 65 million tonnes per year by 2030.
What this means for your business is straightforward: the scrap sitting in your yard, plant floor, or warehouse represents real, recoverable monetary value. Partnering with a professional industrial scrap buyer like A S Traders ensures you capture that full value at fair market rates rather than leaving it on the table. By selling your industrial scrap regularly, you free up operational space, improve safety on your factory floor, generate consistent immediate cash flow, and contribute to India's growing circular economy.
Whether you run a small engineering workshop or manage a large multi-facility industrial operation, we have the capacity, the expertise, and the compliance framework to handle your scrap correctly and profitably.
Industrial scrap spans a wide range of materials — each with different compositions, grades, and recycling values. A S Traders has the expertise to correctly identify, weigh, and price every category at current fair market rates.

Not sure which grade or category your scrap falls into? Our team identifies and grades all material on-site using industry expertise before any price is confirmed. You are never committed to a rate before you know exactly what you are selling.
From a single motor to a complete factory clearance, we purchase every category of industrial scrap with the same professional process: on-site inspection, certified weighing, transparent pricing, and same-day payment. Here are the most common categories we collect:
MS scrap, Heavy Melting Scrap (HMS), structural steel, iron castings, GI scrap, mild steel plates, and fabrication offcuts from manufacturing plants, workshops, and construction sites. Ferrous metal scrap is the highest-volume category generated by India's industrial sector — we handle any grade and any volume with free bulk pickup and same-day payment.
Bare bright copper wire, copper tubing and pipe, aluminium extrusions and sheet scrap, brass fittings and castings, stainless steel scrap (SS 304, SS 316), and bronze. Non-ferrous metals carry the highest per-kg recovery value in India's scrap market. Segregating these from ferrous scrap before sale is the most impactful step you can take to maximise your payout.
Server racks, networking equipment, PCB boards, industrial UPS units, IT equipment from data centres and corporate offices, wiring harnesses, transformers, and power supplies. We provide fully compliant e-waste recycling with documentation suitable for CPCB EPR reporting and corporate ESG compliance — protecting your business from regulatory risk.
Dismantled plant machinery, lathe machines, press machines, CNC equipment, motors, generators, pumps, compressors, boilers, turbines, and heavy engineering equipment. We specialise in bulk machinery dismantling projects and complete factory clearance operations — managing the full process including logistics, dismantling support, and certified weighing of every component.
TMT bars, steel rods, GI pipes, MS plates, shuttering scrap, structural steel from demolitions, reinforcement steel waste, and fabrication offcuts from construction projects. Large-volume site clearances are a core part of our service capability — we coordinate logistics and collection schedules to align with your project timeline without disrupting ongoing work.
Engine blocks, transmission assemblies, alloy wheels, tyre wire scrap, truck and vehicle body scrap, chassis components, and automobile parts from service centres, fleet operators, and transport businesses. We provide safe, compliant vehicle scrap recycling with accurate grade-based pricing for every component category.
Industrial lead-acid batteries, UPS batteries, inverter batteries, chemical drums, oil filters, and catalytic converters. All hazardous waste streams are handled under full environmental compliance guidelines in accordance with CPCB and State Pollution Control Board regulations — with documentation confirming responsible disposal for your compliance records.
HDPE, LDPE, PVC, ABS, polypropylene, and engineering plastic scrap from packaging lines, manufacturing units, and industrial production. As India scales its polymer recycling infrastructure, plastic scrap from industrial sources commands growing demand from compounders and pellet manufacturers — and we price it accordingly.
Production rejects, expired inventory, obsolete stock, factory clearance scrap, and mixed lots from warehouses, storage yards, and distribution centres. We accept everything in bulk and provide competitive rates based on estimated recoverable material value — making complete factory and warehouse clearances operationally simple for your team.
Our industrial scrap buying process is designed to cause zero disruption to your business operations. No complicated paperwork, no extended waiting periods, no negotiations that drag on for days. From first call to cleared site in a single visit.
Contact us at +91 82978 65751 and describe your scrap — material type, approximate quantity, and your location. We will give you an immediate response and schedule a site visit at your convenience, typically same-day or next-day.

We present the final offer based on material grade, weight, and current market rates. No hidden deductions after loading, no renegotiations. You receive a printed weight slip and a clear price breakdown before anything leaves your site.
Payment is made immediately — cash, UPI, or bank transfer. Our team handles all loading and transportation at no cost. Your site is cleared the same day, leaving your operational space clean and ready for productive use.
With a growing base of industrial clients across India's manufacturing, construction, and technology sectors, our reputation rests entirely on fair dealing, operational reliability, and genuine respect for your time and business requirements.
Understanding what drives industrial scrap demand helps you make better decisions about when to sell, how to prepare your material, and why partnering with a specialist buyer consistently delivers better returns than using a general collector.
India's crude steel production capacity is on a clearly defined path to double to 300 million tonnes. Electric Arc Furnace-based steelmaking — which runs entirely on scrap as its primary raw material input — is expected to account for up to 50 percent of total output in the coming years. The Material Recycling Association of India (MRAI) estimates total domestic scrap demand could reach 65 million tonnes per year by 2030. This structural demand growth means the industrial scrap generated by India's factories, construction projects, and manufacturing units has a deep, consistent, and growing buyer base. Your scrap is not waste — it is a raw material that steel mills, foundries, smelters, and certified recyclers across India actively compete to procure.
Copper scrap is among the most valuable recyclable materials in India's scrap market today, driven by rapidly growing demand from the electrical sector, renewable energy installations, electric vehicle manufacturing, and the telecom infrastructure build-out. Aluminium scrap from fabrication and precision components commands strong demand from smelters and secondary manufacturers. Stainless steel scrap from pharmaceutical and food processing equipment carries premium pricing due to its alloy content.
If your facility regularly generates copper wiring, aluminium extrusions, brass fittings, or stainless steel components as part of your production or maintenance operations, these should be carefully separated from general ferrous scrap before sale. A S Traders helps you identify and extract the maximum value from every grade your operation produces.
One of the most impactful steps any industrial scrap seller can take before contacting a buyer is to segregate material by type. Clean, sorted copper wire commands significantly higher recovery value than mixed copper with plastic insulation still attached. Steel separated from aluminium allows each to be priced at its correct grade rather than blended down as a mixed lot. Machinery stripped of non-ferrous components before sale as ferrous scrap often yields more in total than selling the complete assembly as a single mixed item. Our team is happy to advise on the most effective pre-sorting approach for your specific scrap stream during our site visit — it costs you nothing and can meaningfully increase your total payout.
With CPCB Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations tightening across India and corporate ESG reporting becoming mandatory for an expanding number of organisations, businesses must now maintain documented proof of how their industrial waste is disposed of. Regulatory audits, annual reports, and board-level sustainability commitments all require evidence of compliant waste management practices.
A S Traders provides proper recycling certificates for e-waste, battery scrap, and other regulated industrial waste streams — protecting your business from regulatory risk while ensuring all your materials are processed responsibly and traceably. Working with an unregistered or non-compliant collector creates potential liability; working with A S Traders eliminates it.
We are industrial scrap buyers built specifically to serve organisations that generate scrap regularly and need a reliable, professional partner — not just a one-time collector. Here are the industries we most commonly serve across India:
Steel fabrication plants, engineering goods manufacturers, auto component makers, pharmaceutical factories, food processing units, and textile manufacturers generate continuous streams of metal, plastic, and packaging scrap. We offer scheduled recurring pickups aligned with your production cycle, turning a cost centre into a predictable revenue stream.
Builders, civil contractors, demolition companies, and infrastructure developers generate significant TMT bar scrap, structural steel, GI piping, and mixed construction waste from every project. We handle full site clearances for projects of any scale with logistics coordinated to your project schedule.
India's major IT corridors produce large quantities of server scrap, e-waste, UPS batteries, and obsolete IT equipment during technology refresh cycles. We provide documented e-waste recycling that meets corporate ESG reporting requirements and CPCB EPR compliance obligations — with recycling certificates suitable for audit and annual reporting.
Medical equipment, stainless steel instruments, lead battery backup systems, IT infrastructure, and general metal scrap from hospitals, diagnostics labs, and healthcare facilities. All collections handled with full compliance documentation and responsible disposal practices for regulated waste categories.
Kitchen equipment scrap, AC condensers and compressors, electrical systems, structural steel from renovation projects, and large-volume mixed scrap from hotel refurbishments. We manage complete clearance operations for hospitality properties with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
Engine blocks, vehicle body scrap, alloy wheels, battery scrap, copper wire harnesses, and mixed workshop waste from automobile service centres, garages, and ancillary manufacturing units. A S Traders is a preferred scrap partner for hundreds of auto-sector businesses across India.
Obsolete racking systems, pallet metal, packaging material, rejected stock, and mixed industrial waste from large-format warehouses and distribution centres. Bulk clearances handled efficiently and completely with our own dedicated logistics team — no third-party contractors, no hidden coordination costs.
Copper wire offcuts, aluminium cable scrap, transformer scrap, GI conduit waste, and mixed electrical scrap from contracting firms operating across infrastructure, industrial, and commercial project sectors. We provide regular collection schedules aligned with your project timelines.
Many industrial scrap sellers leave significant money on the table simply due to how they prepare their material before sale. These practical steps can measurably improve your per-kg returns with zero additional investment:
Separating your scrap into distinct material categories — copper, aluminium, steel, stainless steel, e-waste — before weighing allows each material to be priced at its correct market grade. Mixed or contaminated lots are always valued at the lowest grade present in the entire consignment. Even basic sorting on your end can increase your total payout significantly. Designating separate collection bins or areas for each scrap stream is a low-cost operational change with a consistently measurable financial return.
Copper wire still attached to PVC insulation yields lower per-kg recovery than stripped bare bright copper. Motors with plastic housing components yield less per kg than stripped copper windings. Machinery with non-ferrous components still attached may yield less as a mixed lot than if the non-ferrous parts are removed and sold separately at their correct grade. Where it is practically feasible on your factory floor, removing non-metal attachments before sale is worth the effort on high-value non-ferrous streams — the return on time invested is substantial.
Bulk lots consistently attract better rates than small quantities. If your operation generates scrap gradually — fabrication offcuts, wiring offcuts, packaging waste, or production rejects — storing it safely and calling us once a meaningful volume has accumulated will improve your per-kg return. Our team is happy to advise on the minimum practical quantities for different scrap categories based on your location and material type.
Some industrial scrap categories — particularly non-ferrous metals like copper, brass, and aluminium — carry dramatically higher per-kg values than ferrous steel scrap. If you are unsure what category your scrap falls into or what its approximate value might be, our team will assess it thoroughly during the site visit and explain the grading before any price is confirmed. An informed seller consistently achieves better outcomes. We welcome questions and see educating our clients as part of our service.
Always insist on a printed digital weight receipt from any scrap buyer — including A S Traders. This protects you from disputes, provides documentation for your accounts and finance team, and creates a transaction record you can present to auditors, compliance officers, or management. Reputable industrial scrap dealers provide printed receipts as standard practice. Any buyer who cannot or will not provide a documented weight receipt should be treated as a red flag.
Businesses that build recurring scrap collection schedules into their operations benefit in two important ways: they maintain cleaner and safer factory floors throughout the year, and they develop a predictable additional revenue stream that can be budgeted and reported. A S Traders offers standing arrangements for industrial clients with consistent and regular scrap generation — aligned to your production cycles, maintenance schedules, or project timelines.
