RecycleInMe Scraper - Scrap Metal Buyers, Sellers & Offers

RecycleInMe scraper for scrap traders, recyclers, mills, metal brokers, commodity sourcing teams and B2B lead-gen teams: search RecycleInMe.com, a B2B marketplace for recyclable materials, by keyword (copper, aluminium ubc, hms 1&2, pet bottles, occ, lead battery) and country, and get scrap sell offers, scrap buy offers (buying requirements), and the supplier and buyer company directories as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. Each offer row has the material, quantity, packing, loading port / city, country, description with payment and shipping terms, the company and its published e-mail and phone. Each directory row has the company, business type, address, e-mail, phone, mobile, website, materials traded and year established. Use it as a scrap metal buyers list, a scrap supplier finder, a recycling trade-lead feed, or an unofficial RecycleInMe API from your own code, Make, Zapier or n8n.

It works over plain HTTP, with no browser and no login. 20 offers took 6.7 seconds in a cloud run (2 requests).

• Find buyers for your material: pull buy offers and the buyer directory for your material and country, then send offers.
• Lead generation for recycling services: build e-mail / phone lists of scrap traders, mills and scrap yards per country (countries, companyTypes, uniqueCompanies).
• Market monitoring: schedule daily runs and track new offers and quantities per material and port.
• CRM enrichment: add website, address, year established and materials traded to a company list.
• AI agents: an agent can call this actor with a material and country and read back trade leads (see the MCP note below).

Pricing

$1.50 per 1,000 results (pay per result), contacts included. Apify platform usage is included in that price. Filtered rows, duplicates and failed requests are never charged, and there is no start fee. A 20-row run costs $0.03, and Apify's free plan ($5 of monthly credit) covers about 3,300 rows.

This is the only RecycleInMe actor we found on the Store (search read 5 Nov 2026).

FAQ

How big is RecycleInMe? The site's own list totals on 5 Nov 2026: 1,372 sell offers, 1,005 buy offers, 3,589 suppliers and 5,553 buyers.

Why is the price empty on most offers? Scrap sellers on RecycleInMe almost always quote on request; price is filled only when the poster gives one. Quantity, packing and loading port are nearly always present.

What does the country filter match? RecycleInMe's own country field: for offers that is the offer location (loading port for sell offers, delivery place for buy offers); for directory rows it is the company's country.

Where do the e-mails and phones come from? They are the business contacts each company publishes on its RecycleInMe listing. Contact-person names are not collected. Cold e-mail rules (GDPR, CAN-SPAM) still apply to how you use them.

For AI agents (MCP): input is listing types (sell offers, buy offers, suppliers, buyers), material keywords and optional countries; output is one JSON row per offer or company with material, quantity, port, company, e-mail and phone; typical cost is $0.03 for 20 rows; use it when you need scrap / recyclable material sellers or buyers.

Directory rows (suppliers / buyers) fill companyId, natureOfBusiness, companyCountry, address, products, mobile, fax and website, and leave the offer fields empty. The dataset has two table views in the Apify console: Trade offers and Company leads. A RUN_SUMMARY record lists per-search counts, ignored inputs and stop reasons.

Integrations

Run it on an Apify schedule, through the Apify REST API, the JavaScript / Python clients, Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, or from AI agents via the Apify MCP server. Join runs on username to link a company's offers with its directory entry, or on offerId to spot new offers.

This actor is not affiliated with RecycleInMe. It reads public list pages that RecycleInMe's robots.txt allows (read 5 Nov 2026; it never opens the inquiry or scrap-price sections).
