Top Online Kabadiwala Startups

In our childhood days, we all used to wait for the month end. We would call our local scrap dealer as our newspaper shelf was full. The money we got after selling the newspapers and other scrap items used to be our bonus in the pocket money.

But every time our local scrap dealer was also not available. And when e-commerce industry has boomed over the past years, we prefer everything in our finger tips. From groceries, medicines, clothes, beauty products, jewellery, etc. is only a click away. Several companies in India are now giving free doorstep service to lift dry waste.

Here are few online Kabadiwalas that are handling the waste:

1. The Kabadiwala

These company was founded by Anurag Asati and Kavindra Raghuwanshi. It is an online avatar of the local scrap dealers. We just have to schedule a visit online and the team will visit the house and lift the recyclable items including newspaper, plastic, metal, books, etc. It also has live tracking feature for the customers to track the waste where it goes.

2. Junkart

It is a Delhi based startup which was started in 2015. It collects all recyclable items including plastics, aluminium, iron, paper, etc. Customers also have the option to donate the money earned through selling scrap to an NGO that has tied us with JunkArt. It Functions in Delhi- NCR, Mumbai and Bengaluru.

3. Karma Recycling

This company was started by Aamir Jariwala and Akshat and it helps us improve our Karma. The company buys old mobile devices and sells back repaired ones at much cheaper rates.
