Okara sits on the N-5 between Lahore and Sahiwal, so the yard is easy to reach from Renala Khurd, Depalpur, Haveli Lakha, Pattoki, Basirpur and Sahiwal as well as Okara city itself.
What we buy
- Post-consumer PET bottles — water, soft-drink and other PET bottles (look for the “1 / PET” mark on the base).
- Clear and coloured — ideally kept in separate bags.
- Loose, bagged or baled.
- From anyone with a load — kabadiwalas, collectors, dealers, shops, hotels, factories and collection points.
Please keep other plastics (shoppers, tubs, pipes) out of your PET bags — mixed loads get a lower rate. If you have PET crush or production rejects, send a photo first and we will tell you whether we can take it (see PET bottle crush rate).
What happens when you arrive
- Tell us what you have. Quantity, clear or coloured, loose or baled.
- We grade the load with you. We look at colour, cleanliness, moisture, caps and labels, and any other plastics. If anything will affect the rate, we tell you before weighing.
- Weighing in front of you. The load is weighed on our scale while you watch, and the weight is recorded.
- Rate × weight. You see the rate, the weight and any agreed deduction.
- Prompt payment. You are paid promptly, on the terms agreed before you sell.
How to get a better rate on the day
