Scrap buyers not purchasing glass bottles in Goa
In Panaji, there are relatively few scrap shops which are purchasing old newspapers, magazines, and other scrap material . Most of the scrap buyers have a handcart and are roaming around with the handcart in residential colonies, so that people can sell their scrap to these dealers. However the rate for scrap material offered by these scrap dealers remains comparatively lower.
In all other states , there is a significant demand for glass bottles, and the scrap dealer will usually pay Rs 1 for each bottle according to their website. However in goa, the footpaths are littered with empty glass whisky, beer bottles, so the scrap dealers are not paying for glass bottles. They are only paying sellers for newspapers, magazines and plastic bottles
