How to Become a Verified Scrap Partner and Deal Directly with MetalMandi
Every time you have scrap ready, the process often starts the same way - calling different buyers, comparing rates, negotiating prices, and wondering who will pay on time. It takes time, and there's no guarantee you'll get a fair deal. Instead of repeating the same process for every transaction, many businesses prefer working with one trusted buyer they can rely on.
That's where MetalMandi, a fully digital scrap marketplace powered by Attero Recycling, comes in. We buy scrap directly from registered businesses across India without any brokers, traders, or middlemen involved. Our app gives you access to live market rates, real-time price tracking, transparent AI-powered pricing, and fast payments, with price negotiation available where applicable. Today, we work with more than 550+ vendors, from small kabadiwalas (scrap dealers) to large industrial businesses. This guide explains how to become a verified MetalMandi partner, the documents you'll need, and how the registration process works.

Metal Scrap
For iron, steel, aluminium, and mixed metal, MetalMandi is your metal scrap buyer. Factory offcuts, warehouse clear-outs, and manufacturing waste all fit here. Genuine metal scrap buyers weigh transparently and quote the live rate.
E-Waste
Old electronics, cables, and circuit boards need authorised recycling. As your e-waste partner, MetalMandi handles this responsibly, which matters as India's e-waste volumes continue to rise.
