Today I came across a web site called www.RaddiDepot.com. They collect raddi from individual house and cover whole pune city. Pay as per market Rate. And donate generated revenues to NGOs supporting blind and physically handicapped kids. A good social service.

I have used this service and found them it to be very convenient. You can also schedule your pick-ups in advance which is good. Its also nice to know that the come of the money might go to ngos.

+1 for RaddiDepot.com

Apart from convenience, the electronic scale is definitely a winner. The regular raddiwallah use weighing scale for first kg (they never carry high weights) and then just compare volumes to measure weight. That results into as much as 30% lower weight, according to my non-scientific measurement.

While this appears to be another poster trying to advertise his own company on ForPune (like some other bad examples recently), however, I've upvoted this one, because I know people who used this service and they liked it. The price they paid was marginally more than what the local raddi-wala paid (Rs. 6 instead of the Rs. 5.5) and of course, it is convenient.

-1 to RaddiDepot - they seem to have grown to a point where they no longer wish to or cannot handle small customers. I wrote to them to schedule a raddi pickup, no reply. I called them on Sat, and they asked me to call back on Tuesday (Mon being a holiday) at 10am, and then they'd probably schedule one for me.
