Live Scrap Rates in Tangail

Tangail occupies a strategic mid-point between Dhaka and northern Bangladesh, and its economy blends famous Tangail sari weaving with modern garment manufacturing, food processing, and expanding residential construction. The Tangail–Elenga corridor's emergence as an industrial growth zone has drawn new factories whose setup and expansion phases generate significant quantities of construction and fit-out scrap. Traditional cottage industries—pottery, blacksmithing, bell-metal craft—contribute small but culturally distinctive scrap streams.

Construction rebar scrap and MS angle offcuts from new factory buildings trade in the BDT 39–46/kg range, while cast-iron scrap from traditional bell-metal workshops averages BDT 27–33/kg. Copper from handloom jacquard mechanisms fetches BDT 700/kg or more, and aluminium window-frame scrap from residential construction trades at BDT 165–195/kg. Sari-weaving workshops contribute small but regular volumes of broken reed wires and heddle frames.

Sellers in Tangail should compare offers from dealers on the Tangail–Mymensingh road with those in the Sadar bazaar area, as the highway dealers sometimes offer higher rates to fill outbound trucks heading to Dhaka. For bell-metal and brass craft scrap, approaching specialist non-ferrous dealers rather than general scrap yards ensures fairer valuation of the alloy content. Wrapping copper wire into tight coils rather than leaving it loose makes the lot easier to weigh and signals a higher-quality, sorted product to buyers.
