Non-ferrous materials

Brass scrap

Brass turns up in plumbing, fittings, and hardware. It is non-ferrous, it does not stick to a magnet, and it is worth bringing in.

Yellow brass and red brass

Brass is a copper alloy, and how much copper is in it drives the price. Red brass carries more copper and is worth more than yellow brass, the everyday plumbing and hardware variety.

Attached steel, plastic, or rubber lowers the grade. Removing what comes off easily is worth the few minutes.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Brass is yellower, bronze browner and more reddish. Neither sticks to a magnet. Bring either in and we will identify and grade it.
