About the Scrap Market in Vaikom

Vaikom, a historic temple town on the banks of Vembanad Lake in Kerala's Kottayam district, blends a traditional cultural identity with a service-oriented modern economy. The town's scrap market benefits from Kerala's high consumer purchasing power, which accelerates the replacement cycle of appliances, vehicles, and electronics.

Aluminium scrap from window frames, utensils, and automobile parts fetches INR 105–140 per kg, reflecting Kerala's strong non-ferrous market. Copper from household wiring and motor rewinding trades at INR 570–710 per kg, and electronic appliance scrap commands INR 20–80 per kg depending on the device type and recoverable components.

Kerala's well-organized scrap dealer network means Vaikom residents can request doorstep pickup for quantities as small as 50 kg, a convenience not available in most Indian towns. Sellers of white goods like refrigerators and washing machines should insist on separate pricing for the compressor, motor, and body rather than accepting a flat per-unit rate.
