Choose a material guide to review common item types, separation and preparation guidance, and participating buyer options. Acceptance and collection availability vary by material, condition, quantity, location and selected buyer.

  • Material-specific guidance
  • Participating buyer options
  • Final offer after inspection

These category guides provide general reference information and are not guaranteed buyer offers. Final acceptance, collection arrangements, classification and pricing depend on the items, condition, quantity, location and selected buyer inspection.

Keep material types separated where practical. Do not burn, puncture or dismantle batteries, electronic devices or refrigerant-containing equipment. Disclose leakage, damaged batteries, sharp edges or other handling concerns before requesting collection.

Category Selection Help

Which Scrap Category Should You Choose?

Start with the item's main material or choose a complete-item guide for appliances and electronic devices. For mixed loads, list every material and provide clear photographs because participating buyers may classify different items or components separately after inspection.

  • Paper or cardboard items

    Choose Paper Scrap for newspapers, magazines, books, notebooks and office paper. Choose Cardboard Scrap for carton boxes, corrugated sheets, gatta and packaging board. Keep both materials separated and dry where practical.

  • Plastic items

    Choose Plastic Scrap for eligible bottles, pipes, crates, containers, rigid plastic and plastic furniture. Share the item type, visible material marking, cleanliness, condition and whether different plastics are separated.

  • Iron, steel or stainless steel

    Choose Iron Scrap, Steel Scrap or Stainless Steel Scrap for eligible rods, pipes, sheets, tools, frames, utensils and metal furniture. If the metal is uncertain, provide clear photographs and disclose rust, coatings and attached materials.

  • Aluminium, copper or brass

    Choose Aluminium Scrap for eligible sections, sheets, utensils and cast items; Copper Scrap for eligible wire, cable and pipes; or Brass Scrap for eligible taps, fittings, utensils and hardware. Share the known material type, insulation, coatings and attached plastic, rubber, steel or other components.

  • Electronics, batteries or appliances

    Choose E-Waste for phones, computers, circuit boards, chargers and peripherals; Appliance Scrap for complete household and office appliances; or Battery Scrap for eligible batteries. Share the working condition, missing parts, battery condition and model details when available.

  • Furniture, office and other separated materials

    Choose Furniture Scrap for complete furniture and Office Scrap for mixed office clearances. For separated loads, choose Glass Scrap, Rubber and Tyre Scrap, Textile and Clothes Scrap, or Hair Scrap according to the material. Provide an item list, approximate quantities, photographs and collection-access details.

  • Wire, cable or industrial scrap

    Choose Wire and Cable Scrap for eligible electrical wire, insulated cable and separated cable material.

How do I choose the correct scrap category?
Choose the category that matches the item's primary material or item type. For mixed lots, provide clear photographs and describe every material because the selected buyer may classify different parts separately.
Which materials may participating buyers consider?
Depending on the buyer and location, eligible materials may include paper, cardboard, recyclable plastic, iron, steel, aluminium, copper, brass, selected e-waste, batteries and other separated items. Final acceptance depends on the material, condition, quantity and buyer inspection.
Should I separate different scrap materials?
Keep material types separated where practical and keep paper and cardboard dry. Tell the selected buyer about mixed materials, coatings, contamination, batteries, sharp edges or attached components before collection.
Are all scrap categories quoted per kilogram?
No. Loose recyclable materials may be evaluated by weight, while complete items, furniture, appliances or mixed lots may be considered per item or per lot. The selected buyer confirms the classification and measurement unit.
Does BharatBin guarantee category acceptance or a fixed rate?
No. BharatBin provides category guidance and helps customers review participating buyer options. The selected buyer confirms acceptance, collection availability, measurement, applicable deductions and the final offer after inspection.
Can collection be requested for mixed household or office scrap?
You can share details of a mixed lot, but acceptance varies by buyer. List the material types, approximate quantities, condition, photographs and any access restrictions so participating buyers can review the request.
