About the Scrap Market in Dhaka
Dhaka, the capital and commercial hub of Bangladesh, drives the nation's largest scrap metal and recycling market. The city's dense manufacturing base — including garment factories, shipbuilding yards, and construction projects — generates enormous volumes of metal, plastic, and textile waste. Areas like Islambagh, Dholaikhal, and Postogola house massive scrap trading clusters that process materials from across the country.
Iron and steel scrap from construction and shipbreaking at nearby Chattogram dominate Dhaka's market. Copper wire scrap from garment factory electrical upgrades, aluminum from household utensils and construction, and growing e-waste from the city's expanding tech sector are actively traded. Dhaka's scrap prices are the highest in Bangladesh, typically 5-10% above other divisional cities, driven by intense competition among local re-rolling mills and foundries.
The main scrap markets in Dhaka are Dholaikhal (the largest scrap bazar in Bangladesh), Islambagh, and Kamrangirchar. Most dealers accept scrap from 5 kg onwards for walk-in sellers. Cash payment is standard, with bKash increasingly used for larger transactions. For the best rates, sell directly at Dholaikhal during morning hours (8-11 AM) when mills actively purchase, and always verify weights on digital scales.
