6 Reasons Chennai Businesses & Residents Trust AS Traders
Chennai has hundreds of scrap dealers — from Parrys Corner to Ambattur. Here is exactly what separates AS Traders from every local kabariwala and scrap agent in the city.
Government-Certified Scales — Full Transparency
Scale manipulation is widespread among local scrap dealers in Chennai. AS Traders uses only certified digital weighing machines, operated openly in your presence at your location. No hidden adjustments, no thumb on the scale — every gram counted fairly.
Daily Updated Chennai Market Rates
Metal prices move every day with LME and domestic mandi trends. Our rates are recalculated each morning against live commodity benchmarks — so Chennai sellers consistently receive the actual current value, not a depressed rate padded with dealer margin.
Chennai Auto Belt & Industrial Specialists
We understand Chennai's industrial DNA. Auto ancillary press scrap, cast iron turnings, large-format machinery, and port logistics waste all require specific handling expertise and the right vehicles. We come equipped for it — every time.
Same-Day Payment via UPI — No Exceptions
Chennai moves fast and so do we. Payment is made the moment your scrap is weighed — via GPay, PhonePe, or UPI. For large industrial consignments, payment confirmation happens before our vehicle departs your premises. No cheques, no pending settlements.
IT & E-Waste Expertise for OMR Businesses
Chennai's OMR corridor holds thousands of IT companies generating high volumes of end-of-life electronics. We correctly price and responsibly handle laptops, servers, networking equipment, and data centre hardware — far above what generic scrap dealers quote for these items.
TNPCB-Compliant Authorised Recycling
All scrap collected in Chennai is processed through recycling channels authorised under Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board regulations. You receive a clean, documented transaction — critical for ISO-certified factories, listed companies, and businesses that need proper disposal records.

Our team is trained to work within security procedures and can collect from any floor. Give us your building name, unit number, and a preferred slot — we handle everything.
What is the current scrap rate per kg in Chennai?
Rates are updated every morning based on live commodity markets. Current approximate rates: iron ₹26–32/kg, copper ₹450–520/kg, aluminium ₹90–110/kg, brass ₹280–320/kg, paper and cardboard ₹12–18/kg. Call +91 82978 65751 for the confirmed live rate on your pickup day — the rate we quote is exactly what we pay.
Is there a minimum quantity for a scrap pickup in Chennai?
No minimum at all. A single old laptop, a bundle of newspapers, or a full factory clearout — we come for everything. Residential pickups are as welcome as bulk industrial lots. No weight threshold, no conditions, no additional charges regardless of the quantity.
Which areas and zones in Chennai does AS Traders cover?
We cover all of Greater Chennai — Anna Nagar, T. Nagar, Guindy, Velachery, Chromepet, Tambaram, Pallavaram, Porur, Poonamallee, Ambattur, Avadi, Manali, Ennore, Perungudi, Sholinganallur, Sriperumbudur, Thiruvallur, Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu, and all surrounding areas, SIPCOT estates, and industrial zones.
Why choose AS Traders over a local scrap dealer in Chennai?
Three definitive advantages. First, we use government-certified digital scales — under-weighing is rampant among local dealers. Second, our rates are tied to daily commodity benchmarks, not a fixed low number that maximises dealer profit at your expense. Third, we come to you at zero cost — meaning you earn significantly more per kg while spending nothing on transport or time. The math simply works in your favour.
