About the Scrap Market in Saiha
Perched in Mizoram's southernmost district, Saiha serves as the administrative centre of the Siaha district and hosts one of the state's most remote scrap markets. The town's recycling economy is shaped by its hilly terrain, limited industrial activity, and dependence on goods transported from Aizawl and beyond. Government construction projects and institutional waste from schools and hospitals constitute the primary sources of recyclable materials.
GI roofing sheets, steel structural members, and discarded water pipes make up the bulk of available ferrous scrap, trading at approximately INR 18-24 per kilogram due to remote location discounts. Non-ferrous items such as aluminium cookware and copper cable scraps are relatively scarce but fetch INR 110-140 and INR 550-620 per kilogram when available. Plastic waste, particularly PET bottles, is increasingly collected by informal networks for sale to processors in the Assam plains.
Given the limited number of local buyers, sellers in Saiha benefit from pooling their scrap with neighbours or community groups to create bulk lots that justify a dealer's travel costs. Checking prevailing Aizawl rates online before negotiating provides useful leverage. Transportation costs account for a significant share of the price gap, so coordinating sales with returning cargo vehicles can improve net realization.
