About the Scrap Market in Ambur
Ambur, one of Tamil Nadu's largest leather processing centers in Tirupattur district, has a scrap market dominated by its massive tanning industry. The city processes millions of pieces of leather annually for export, with hundreds of tanneries generating both leather waste and industrial metal scrap. Engineering workshops supporting the tannery sector and local construction add to the scrap supply.
Chrome-contaminated leather waste is Ambur's largest waste category requiring specialized, regulated disposal. Iron and steel from tannery drums and equipment, stainless steel from processing tanks, and copper from electrical systems are the primary metal scrap categories. Ambur's metal scrap prices are comparable to the Vellore district average, with industrial-grade stainless steel from tanneries commanding slight premiums.
Scrap markets include the main bazaar, Old Town area, and industrial zone dealers. Chrome waste and leather processing waste must go exclusively through TNPCB-authorized recyclers. For metal scrap, most dealers pick up from 10 kg. Cash is standard. Strict environmental compliance is essential in Ambur — unauthorized disposal of tannery waste carries heavy penalties. Always use certified channels for any industrial waste.
