About the Scrap Market in Periyakulam

Cradled in the foothills of the Western Ghats, Periyakulam in Tamil Nadu's Theni district is celebrated as the mango capital of the state. Fruit processing, cold storage operations, and agricultural equipment servicing drive the modest but steady scrap metal economy of this agrarian town.

Cold storage compressor units, fruit sorting machine parts, and worn tractor implements are commonly recycled items. Steel scrap prices in Periyakulam fall between INR 26 and INR 33 per kg, while aluminium from cold storage panel cladding trades at INR 100–120 per kilogram in the local market.

The mango season from March to June coincides with peak cold storage activity and subsequent equipment maintenance, creating a predictable window of increased scrap availability. Sellers should also explore connections with scrap dealers in Madurai, barely 60 kilometers away, where industrial demand supports consistently higher prices across all metal categories.
