Who we are

Nigeria's scrap is worth billions.
Most of it still rots.

Octoscrap started in Lagos because we watched valuable material pile up behind gates while collectors drove around guessing where the work was. There had to be a better way.

Our mission

Connect every home with a verified collector.

We're building the infrastructure for Nigeria's informal recycling economy — turning it from a system of guesswork and undervaluation into a transparent, data-driven marketplace where everyone gets a fair deal.

What we believe

Four principles we don't compromise on.

01

Cash, not promises

Every pickup is settled in person with physical cash before the collector leaves your gate. No transfers, no wait.

02

Verification, not trust

Anyone can claim to be a collector. We verify NIN, photograph, and grade every collector before they place a single bid.

03

Data, not guesswork

We publish live metal prices daily, pulled from Lagos and Aba exchanges. No one should sell cheap because they didn't know better.

04

Dignity in the trade

Scrap dealing is honest work. We build tools that treat collectors like professionals — earnings reports, route logging, ratings.
