Not long ago, selling your scrap meant waiting for a cart to pass, arguing over a tired weighing scale, and taking whatever cash you were handed. EcoKabadi replaced that with something better — a verified collector at your door, a fair rate you can see up front, and instant payment with a record of every rupee. Today it gets even easier: EcoKabadi is now on iPhone.
The full EcoKabadi experience is now a native iOS app on the Apple App Store — so booking a doorstep pickup, checking today’s rates and getting paid is all a tap away.

Sell your scrap, the honest way
EcoKabadi is a doorstep scrap-collection service for the Kathmandu Valley. Instead of guessing what your recyclables are worth, you see today’s rates in the app, book a free pickup, and a verified collector — a Saathi — weighs everything on a calibrated digital scale right at your door. You’re paid on the spot, by eSewa, Khalti, bank transfer or cash. No haggling, no rounding against you, and a digital receipt for every pickup.
How it works — four taps, done
Everything the app does disappears into something you can finish in under a minute:
- Sort — keep your paper, metal, plastic, glass and e-waste aside.
- Book — request a free pickup in the app.
- Weigh — a verified Saathi weighs it on a digital scale at your door.
- Get paid — instantly, with a record of the transaction.
Why the app makes it better
Having EcoKabadi on your phone changes the everyday experience in small, meaningful ways. You can check live rates before you book, so you always know what your scrap is worth. You get a verified, rated collector rather than whoever happens to be passing. And because every pickup is logged, recycling stops being a cash-in-hand guess and becomes a clean, trackable habit — better for your wallet and better for the city.
Impact you can measure
Formalising the kabadi trade means you can finally count what it does. EcoKabadi has already diverted more than 250 tons of material from landfill, completed over 12,000 doorstep pickups, and put more than 180 collectors on a path to steady, dignified income — at an average service rating of 4.9 stars. Every one of those numbers is a household that recycled instead of dumped, and a collector who earned with a fair scale and a digital receipt.
