About the Scrap Market in Kanchipuram
Kanchipuram, the City of Thousand Temples and Tamil Nadu's silk weaving capital, has a scrap market shaped by its silk saree industry and growing industrial footprint. The city's thousands of handloom and powerloom units, along with the expanding auto component manufacturing in the SIPCOT zone near Oragadam, generate both traditional textile waste and modern industrial scrap.
Steel and iron from the growing auto component sector are increasingly important, alongside copper from weaving machinery electrical equipment and aluminum from construction. Silk waste and damaged saree materials form a unique recyclable category handled by specialized traders. Kanchipuram's metal scrap prices track the Chennai suburban average, benefiting from proximity to Chennai's industrial demand.
Scrap trading areas include Big Kanchipuram market, the area near the bus stand, and dealers servicing the SIPCOT Oragadam corridor. For auto-grade industrial scrap, approach dealers at the Oragadam belt. Most dealers pick up from 10 kg. Cash is standard. The silk waste recycling market is separate from metal scrap — sellers should direct textile waste to specialized silk waste dealers in the weaving cluster for the best returns.
