What waste can I sell in Nigeria?

If you are wondering which of your waste is worth keeping, this list will help. Some materials are easy to sell today, others need the right buyer.

Here is what Reearnify buys right now, and what we are adding next.

Buying now: carton and cardboard

We buy dry carton and cardboard from shops and market stalls across Ibadan, weighed at your stall and paid per kilo the same visit.

Coming soon: plastics

PET bottles (water and soft drink bottles), plastic containers and nylon are high on our list. Join the waitlist and we will call you the day we start buying.

Coming soon: scrap metal

Aluminium cans, aluminium scrap, iron and copper wire are all recyclable and valuable. We are preparing to buy them from traders the same way we buy carton today.

Coming soon: paper and glass

White paper, office paper, newspapers and glass bottles are also on the way.

What nobody should buy

For safety, we never accept:

  • Medical or clinical waste
  • Food waste, or anything soaked in food, oil or chemicals
  • Containers still holding fuel, paint or chemicals
  • Anything where the source is unknown
