Why recyclers
leave money behind.
Every day, South Africans sell their scrap for less than it's worth. ScanWorth fixes that.
Depot prices change daily
Without current data, you're guessing — and the depot knows that.
Dealers don't share the real price
If you don't ask the right number, you won't get it. Most collectors leave 15–30% on the table.
Mixed materials = lowest price
Sorting knowledge is money — most collectors don't have it before arriving at the depot.
Every kilogram counts.
Know what it's worth.
South Africa's recycling sector processes over 15 million tonnes of material a year — yet most individual collectors walk away earning significantly less than they should. The information gap is real, and it costs real money.

South Africans
love ScanWorth.
"Used to walk into the depot with no idea what my copper was worth. Now I walk in knowing exactly what to ask for. Got R400 more on my last trip."
"Running a small collection business in Cape Town. ScanWorth paid for itself in the first week. My guys use it on every single run now."
"Lekker app bra. Scan the aluminium, scan the steel — it tells you right there. No more guessing games at the yard. R39 a month is nothing."
