About the Scrap Market in Varanasi
Varanasi, one of India's oldest cities on the banks of the Ganga, has a scrap market rooted in its traditional weaving, metalwork, and small-scale manufacturing sectors. The Banaras Hindu University campus, railway workshops, and the diesel locomotive works (DLW) are significant institutional scrap sources. The city also serves as a collection point for scrap from surrounding districts in eastern UP and northern Bihar.
Iron and steel scrap from railway-related manufacturing and construction are the primary traded materials. Brass and copper scrap from Varanasi's famous metalwork and bell-making traditions are distinctive local specialties that command premium rates. Silk weaving waste from the Banarasi saree industry and paper scrap from the printing sector are also significant. Varanasi's prices are typically 8-12% below Delhi but competitive within the eastern UP market.
Major scrap markets in Varanasi include Lanka, Machhodari, and dealers near the Varanasi Junction railway area. For brass and bell-metal scrap, specialized dealers in the Vishwanath Gali area offer the best artisan-market rates. Most kabadiwala pick up from just 5-10 kg. Cash is the standard payment method. Railway-related scrap from DLW area commands premium rates — sellers with such materials should approach specialized heavy engineering scrap dealers.
