Selling Scrap in Kasukabe｜How Drop-off Buyback Works and What to Bring
Looking for a scrap buyer in Kasukabe? N.S.TRADING buys metal scrap at our yard in Hikago, Kasukabe.
This article covers what we buy, what happens on the day, and what to bring with you. If you have never been, this should be everything you need.
First, an important point: we are drop-off only
As a rule we do not collect from your site. We ask customers to bring items to our yard.
This may sound inconvenient, but there is a reason. Collection requires trucks and staff time, and that cost always comes out of the price paid for your metal. By staying drop-off only we avoid that cost and put it into our buying rates instead.
※ For business customers only, we make an exception for three items: tires and wheels, car batteries, and catalytic converters. Everything else — and all private customers — should come to the yard.
What we buy
We handle metal scrap in seven categories.
Category | Main items |
|---|---|
Tires & Wheels | Alloy wheels, steel wheels, studless tires, tire chains |
Batteries | Car, motorcycle, industrial / forklift |
Automotive Parts | Catalytic converters, alternators, starter motors, radiators, car navigation units, wiring harnesses |
Nonferrous Metals | Copper, brass and gunmetal, lead, cable and wire, aluminum sashes, aluminum cans, circuit boards and PC scrap |
Home Equipment | Water heaters, boilers, air conditioner sets |
Machinery | Generators, construction machinery, industrial and machine tools |
Tools | Power tools, air tools, tire changers |
See the full item list for details. We can often buy things that are not listed, so please ask.
What we do not buy
We would rather tell you now than after you have carried it here.
- Household appliances (washing machines, refrigerators, televisions)
- Furniture
- Gold and precious metals
- Tableware and ceramics
People sometimes assume a scrap yard takes anything. We specialise in metal scrap — iron, copper, aluminum and similar.
If you are not sure about something, ask us first. Sending a photo on Instagram is the fastest way.
Where and when
Please bring items to the Head Office.
- Head Office (buyback counter) 995-1 Hikago, Kasukabe, Saitama 344-0002
- Hours Monday–Saturday, 8:30–18:00 ／ Closed Sundays
We take a lunch break from 12:00 to 13:00, but staff are always on site, so you can still drop off and unload during that hour.
We are normally open on public holidays. We close for Golden Week, Obon and the New Year period. Closures are announced on our news page and Instagram.
Our Second Office (5-11-20 Bingohigashi, Kasukabe) handles online sales of used tires and alloy wheels only. It does not accept buyback drop-offs. Please come to the Head Office.
A map is on the access page.

What to bring
Photo ID | Driver's licence, residence card, etc. |
Personal seal (inkan) or thumbprint | Required when signing for a cash payment |
Business customers can be paid by bank transfer instead (no seal required in that case).
If you want a rough figure first
Assessment and quotes are free. Send a photo and the quantity by Instagram message and we will give you an estimate.
Why we do not publish prices on this site
We are asked this often, so here is the answer.
Metal prices move daily. A price published on a website is out of date the moment it goes up, and it will not match what we can actually pay. That is not fair to you.
Our buying prices follow the market. That means the most accurate answer is the one we give you on the day. Please just ask — we will reply quickly.
If you are not confident in Japanese
We have multilingual staff.
We can help you in Japanese, English, Urdu and Persian — in person at the yard, and by Instagram message in any of those languages.
You do not need to bring an interpreter.
Coming from outside Kasukabe
Customers come to us from across Saitama — Koshigaya, Soka, Saitama City — and from Ibaraki, Tokyo, Chiba and Kanagawa.
