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.
Selling Cardboard Scrap in Dhaka, Dhaka Division?
Cardboard scrap (OCC — Old Corrugated Cardboard) has seen growing demand driven by the e-commerce packaging boom. Brown corrugated boxes are the most valuable grade, while thin boxboard (cereal boxes, shoe boxes) fetches lower rates. Large commercial generators like warehouses and retail stores can negotiate better rates through regular supply contracts with recycling mills.
Pro Tip for Cardboard Sellers in Dhaka:
Flatten all boxes to save storage space — a flattened box takes 10% of the volume of an open one. Remove all tape, staples, and non-paper materials. Keep cardboard dry at all costs — wet cardboard is nearly worthless. Separate brown corrugated from thin boxboard for better rates.

Factors Affecting Cardboard Scrap Prices in Dhaka
Global demand for Cardboard significantly influences local prices in Dhaka, Dhaka Division.
Bulk sellers often negotiate higher rates than individual household sellers.
Dealers offering door-step pickup may adjust prices based on distance in Dhaka.
Understanding Cardboard Scrap Rates in Dhaka
The Cardboard scrap market in Dhaka, Dhaka Division is shaped by a combination of global commodity trends and local economic factors. International benchmarks like the LME (London Metal Exchange) and regional commodity markets set the baseline for Cardboard pricing. However, the actual rate you receive from a dealer in Dhaka also depends on local supply and demand, the proximity of recycling mills and foundries, and seasonal construction activity.
Cardboard scrap quality plays a significant role in pricing. Clean, sorted Cardboard scrap free of contaminants such as plastic, rubber, or mixed metals typically commands 10-15% higher rates than unsorted or mixed-grade material. If you're selling Cardboard scrap in Dhaka, taking the time to separate and clean your material can significantly improve the price you receive. Industrial sellers with consistent bulk volumes often negotiate premium rates with dealers, while household sellers benefit from comparing quotes across multiple verified buyers listed on GetScrapRate.
Logistics costs also impact the final price — dealers who offer doorstep pickup may factor in transportation expenses, especially for smaller quantities. For the best outcome when selling Cardboard scrap in Dhaka, we recommend accumulating at least 15-25 kg before contacting a dealer, checking our daily updated prices for market timing, and always insisting on digital weighing with a printed receipt for your records.
