Scrap Price Depends on the Material — Not Just One Number
There is no single scrap price for everything. Copper, aluminium, iron, electronic components, cables, appliances, and mixed scrap all have different values. A fair evaluation looks at several factors:
Material Factors
- Material type (copper vs iron vs plastic)
- Purity and contamination level
- Weight and approximate quantity
- Mixed or separated material
Condition Factors
- Working or non-working (for appliances)
- Brand and model (for ACs, laptops)
- Completeness of parts
- Visible damage or missing components
Market and Logistics
- Current commodity demand
- Transportation costs
- Pickup location and accessibility
- Inspection and sorting requirements
Metal Scrap Categories and What Affects Their Price
Metal scrap is commonly separated into categories before evaluation. Clean metal is not the same as mixed metal, and coated or insulated material is not the same as bare metal.
Copper Scrap
Found in electrical cables, motors, coils, transformers, AC equipment, and wiring. Value varies depending on whether copper is clean, insulated, coated, or still attached to other material. For metal-specific pricing, see metal scrap dealer.
Aluminium Scrap
Comes from equipment bodies, frames, cables, industrial components, and appliances. Clean aluminium and mixed aluminium are not treated as the same material. Sort before you sell.
Iron and Steel Scrap
Old machinery, office furniture, equipment frames, electrical cabinets, racks, tools, and industrial components often contain iron or steel. Final value depends on type, weight, condition, and contamination.

Electronic Scrap and E-Waste — Why It’s Priced Differently
Electronic waste is different from ordinary metal scrap because electronic products contain multiple materials: recoverable metals, plastics, glass, circuit boards, batteries, and other components. Formal e-waste handling in India is governed under the E-Waste Management Rules and the CPCB system.
Common E-Waste Items
- Computers and laptops
- Servers and hard drives
- Monitors and printers
- Networking equipment and routers
- Switches and electronic boards
- Cables and mobile devices
- Small electrical appliances
Responsible E-Waste Handling
Electronic devices can contain valuable recoverable materials as well as components requiring controlled handling. Scrapkabadi routes e-waste only to CPCB-authorized recyclers. Learn more on e-waste scrap buyers.

Businesses accumulate unwanted equipment during relocation, renovation, technology upgrades, closures, or asset replacement. The quantity and equipment list make a major difference to the evaluation.
What Offices Typically Dispose

Industrial Scrap — Inspection First, Then Value
Industrial scrap is generated by factories, warehouses, workshops, manufacturing units, commercial facilities, and construction operations. Examples include machinery, motors, electrical panels, industrial cables, metal structures, aluminium components, copper material, and production equipment.
Common Industrial Scrap
- Machinery and production equipment
- Motors and electrical panels
- Industrial cables and metal structures
- Aluminium and copper components
- Steel and damaged equipment
- Warehouse material
How to Get a Better Industrial Quote
- Provide approximate weight or volume
- Mention if scrap is sorted or mixed
- Share material category clearly
- Provide pickup location and photos
Large industrial lots should be inspected and classified before a final value is agreed. See industrial scrap buyer.
Sell Old AC as Part of Your Scrap — But Don’t Value It Like Mixed Metal
An old AC can contain copper, aluminium, steel, electrical components, compressor parts, and other materials. Depending on its condition, it may have reuse, resale, refurbishment, parts, or scrap value. Provide the type, approximate age, working condition, brand, and whether both indoor and outdoor units are complete.
1 Ton Split AC
₹2,500 – ₹4,500 per unit
1.5 Ton Split AC
₹3,500 – ₹6,500 per unit
Window AC
₹2,000 – ₹5,000 per unit
AC Compressor
₹80 – ₹105 per kg

Scrap From Shops and Commercial Properties
Commercial properties generate different types of scrap when equipment is replaced or premises are renovated. Possible materials include electrical equipment, air conditioners, refrigeration units, metal fixtures, cables, computers, printers, office electronics, shelving, machinery, and mixed metal.
Separating electronic waste from general metal scrap can make assessment clearer and often improves value.
How Scrap Value Is Evaluated — Step by Step
A professional evaluation generally starts by identifying what the material actually contains. The exact process depends on the type and quantity.
Identify the scrap category
Check the condition
Separate major materials
Estimate usable or recoverable material
Check quantity
Consider collection and transportation
Provide a final assessment
Why Scrap Prices Are Not the Same Everywhere in India
Even when two sellers have similar-looking material, the final value can differ. One lot may contain clean copper while another contains insulated cable. One AC may be complete while another is missing important components. One office may have a large quantity of working equipment while another has damaged mixed electronics. Location also affects collection and transportation costs.
A general rate should always be treated as an indication rather than a guaranteed final price. For city-specific rates, check Scrap Price Today or our dedicated pages like today scrap price Gurugram.
Pan India Scrap Collection — What to Provide
Scrap requirements can come from homes, offices, shops, warehouses, factories, institutions, commercial buildings, and other businesses across India. For bulk enquiries, provide:
Also mention material type, approximate quantity, photographs, pickup location, condition, number of items, and expected pickup requirement. This helps the buyer or recycler understand the material before discussing the transaction.
Responsible E-Waste Handling Under CPCB Rules
Electronic waste should be handled through appropriate collection, dismantling, recycling, or disposal channels. The CPCB maintains an E-Waste Management System under the E-Waste Management Rules, 2022, including registration and compliance information for relevant stakeholders.
This is particularly important for businesses disposing of large quantities of IT equipment. Electronic devices can contain valuable recoverable materials as well as components requiring controlled handling. Scrapkabadi works with CPCB-authorized recyclers and can provide a disposal certificate for corporate clients. For more, visit Why Scrap Kabadi.
