The scrap metal business has emerged as one of the most lucrative ventures in Kenya, driven by growing demand for recycled materials in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and metal fabrication. While scrap metal dealers are thriving in urban centers like Nairobi, Mombasa, and Eldoret, the industry is tightly regulated. Only licensed dealers, certified by the Scrap Metal Council, are allowed to legally operate and trade. The enforcement of regulations was implemented to combat issues such as metal theft, which had been a major concern for infrastructure projects across the country.
In this article, we provide a comprehensive list of licensed scrap metal dealers in Kenya, alongside their contact information, to guide individuals and businesses interested in engaging with legitimate operators in the industry.
Importance of Licensing in the Scrap Metal Industry
The Scrap Metal Act of 2015 and the establishment of the Scrap Metal Council were monumental in streamlining the sector. Dealers are now required to obtain operating licenses to ensure ethical trading and prevent the sale of stolen or unethically sourced metals. The Scrap Metal Council oversees licensing, trade practices, and environmental impacts of the industry.
The benefits of engaging with licensed dealers include:
- Legal protection: Licensed dealers ensure adherence to laws that protect both buyers and sellers.
- Environmental responsibility: Properly regulated operations contribute to sustainability by promoting recycling.
- Economic growth: Scrap metal trade boosts local industries, providing materials for manufacturing and construction.
