Every household gathers waste over time — old newspapers, broken utensils, damaged electronics, and empty plastic containers. Instead of letting these items pile up or tossing them away, what if you could turn them into cash while contributing to a cleaner planet? That’s exactly what ScrapKart helps you do.
In this blog, let’s explore the top 5 types of scrap you can sell from home and why it’s worth it.
🗞️ 1. Paper Scrap
Paper is one of the most common and valuable types of scrap found in every home. This includes:
- Old newspapers
- Magazines
- Books
- Cartons and cardboard boxes
Instead of letting them rot in storage or get soaked during the rains, sell them to ScrapKart. Recycled paper saves trees and reduces the need for new raw materials, making it highly eco-friendly.
Fun Fact: Recycling 1 ton of paper can save 17 trees and 7,000 gallons of water!
🧴 2. Plastic Waste
Plastic bottles, containers, broken toys, and packaging materials are all recyclable. These materials don’t decompose for hundreds of years, so disposing of them properly is essential.
ScrapKart collects various plastic types and ensures they are processed through certified recycling centers.
Environmental Impact: Recycling 1 kg of plastic saves nearly 1.5 kg of carbon emissions!
🔧 3. Metal Scrap
You might not realize it, but your kitchen, garage, or backyard likely has some valuable metal scrap like:
- Iron rods
- Aluminum utensils
- Copper wires
- Broken fans or grills
Metals are highly recyclable and in great demand in the manufacturing industry. Selling metal scrap not only earns you good money but also helps conserve natural resources like bauxite and iron ore.
💻 4. Electronic Waste (E-Waste)
India generates millions of tons of e-waste every year, and most of it ends up in landfills. You can sell:
- Old phones
- Laptops
- Chargers and cables
- Remote controls
- Printers, keyboards, etc.
E-waste contains metals like gold, silver, and copper that can be extracted and reused. At ScrapKart, we ensure your e-waste is disposed of responsibly and doesn’t harm the environment.
Bonus: It helps reduce toxic waste that could leak into soil and water.
🌀 5. Appliances & Mixed Scrap
Have an old ceiling fan, mixer, broken stool, or rusted tools lying around? These are all sellable items!
Even partially broken appliances have valuable components inside. Selling them means you declutter your home and help those materials get recycled into something useful again.
