About the Scrap Market in Shenkottai

Tucked into the foothills of the Western Ghats in Tenkasi district, Shenkottai serves as a regional hub where plantation-based industries and small workshops create a modest but consistent scrap stream. Rubber processing machinery, tea factory equipment, and household appliances reaching end-of-life are the primary sources of recyclable metal in this town.

Aluminium vessels and copper motor windings are particularly sought after, commanding prices of ₹110–₹170 per kg for copper and ₹80–₹120 per kg for clean aluminium. Iron scrap from structural demolitions and old farming implements rounds out the local supply at ₹24–₹30 per kg.

Residents looking to sell scrap should note that Shenkottai's dealers typically offer better rates during the first half of each month when cash flow from regional industries is strongest. Bundling smaller items like tin cans and sheet metal into compressed bales can also improve per-kilogram returns.
