Mababastad General Trading

Mababastad General Trading serves the broader material recovery ecosystem—buying, selling, and distributing reclaimed materials and components that flow through Rustenburg's scrap channels. Beyond simple waste removal, the operation fills a role in the informal and formal economy: salvaged building materials, recycled metals, and recovered equipment find new uses through traders who maintain connections with manufacturers, contractors, and smaller businesses. This recycling chain keeps materials in circulation rather than in landfill, connecting supply with demand across the city's working communities.
