Before Octoscrap, I was driving around guessing where the work was. Now I open my phone and the work is there.

Trust & safety

Every collector is verified before they bid.

No anonymous bids. No mystery scales. We verify identity, track every transaction, and keep a public rating on every collector — so you always know who's pulling up to your gate.

How verification works →

NIN verification

Every collector submits their National Identity Number. Verified collectors get a blue tick — and only verified collectors can bid.

Calibrated scales

Subscribers' scales are checked quarterly. Disputes about weight are resolved with the in-app weight log — no more "it felt lighter" arguments.

Live rates, daily

Live rates per kg for every metal type — pulled from Lagos and Aba scrap exchanges. So you know if an offer is fair before you accept.

Disputes, resolved

Disagreement on weight or condition? Open a dispute in 30 seconds. We mediate using the in-app log. Bad actors lose their badge.

For recycling businesses

Aggregate scrap from 2,400+ collectors. One contract.

Recycling partners get bulk supply, predictable pricing, and traceability from gate to grade. Drop us a line — we onboard new partners every month.

Frequently asked

Quick answers, before you ask.

Is Octoscrap free for sellers?
Yes — listing scrap, receiving offers, and confirming pickups is completely free. We make money from collector subscriptions, not from your scrap.
How do collectors pay me?
Cash on pickup. The collector weighs the scrap on a calibrated scale, hands you the agreed amount, and you confirm in the app. No bank transfers, no waiting.
What if a collector doesn't show up?
Cancel the pickup, rate them, and pick another offer. Repeated no-shows lose their verification — that's the whole point of the rating system.
What does it cost to be a collector?
Basic is ₦4,500 per month (10 active bids). Premium is ₦12,000 per month (unlimited bids, priority placement, weekly earnings reports).
Where does Octoscrap operate?
Live in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, and Kano. We're rolling out to every state capital through 2026.
Is the scrap actually recycled?
Yes — collectors aggregate to verified recycling partners. Every kilogram is traceable from your gate to the smelter.

Your scrap is worth money. Today, not someday.

Open the app. Snap two photos. Watch verified collectors bid for the work.
