Live Scrap Rates in Kasur

Kasur, an ancient city on the Indian border southeast of Lahore, maintains a scrap economy shaped by its leather-tanning industry, sports-goods manufacturing, and cross-border commercial dynamics similar to those seen at Wagah. Tannery operations produce chrome-steel drum scrap, while leather-finishing machinery turnover contributes various ferrous and non-ferrous components. Agricultural activity in the surrounding canal-irrigated belt adds seasonal machinery scrap.

Tannery-drum stainless steel commands PKR 150–195/kg, with chrome content boosting its value above generic stainless grades. Mild-steel machinery scrap from leather-finishing lines trades at PKR 88–105/kg, and copper from power-loom motors in the adjacent textile clusters fetches PKR 1,780–2,050/kg. Lead scrap from tannery effluent-treatment batteries is handled by specialised dealers at PKR 220–270/kg due to hazardous-material handling requirements.

Tannery owners in Kasur should engage licensed hazardous-waste recyclers for lead-acid battery and chrome-bearing scrap to comply with Punjab Environmental Protection Agency regulations. For standard ferrous scrap, the Pattoki Road and Bhai Pheru-adjacent dealer network offers competitive rates amplified by proximity to Lahore's larger market. Verifying the buyer's licence and obtaining a waste-transfer note for each transaction provides legal protection and contributes to the industry's ongoing effort to improve environmental compliance.
