How it works
From doorstep to cash in four steps
Built to fix the two things everyone hates about selling kabadi: unfair weighing and unclear prices.
- 01
Book a pickup
Call or book a time slot online. Tell us what you're selling — copper, paper, an old fridge — and we bring the right team.
- 02
Weigh at your door
No back-room scales. Your kabadi is weighed on a transparent digital scale in front of you, per the published rates.
- 03
Cash on the spot
The total is calculated live and paid in cash (or bank transfer) before we leave. The rate you saw is the rate you get.
- 04
Recycled responsibly
Your scrap goes to licensed recyclers and e-waste handlers — not a landfill. Selling kabadi becomes a climate win.
Your kabadi is worthmore than you think.
Check the rates, run the calculator, then book a pickup. We collect from your doorstep — same day in the Valley — and pay cash on the spot.
