Yellow brass — roughly 65-70% copper and 30-35% zinc — is everywhere: plumbing fixtures, valves, fittings, lamps, door hardware, musical instruments, and ammunition casings. Because of its high copper content, it consistently commands strong scrap prices, currently around $2.05/lb for clean material.

The key to maximizing your brass payout is separation. Clean yellow brass free of steel screws, plastic seats, and rubber gaskets pays up to $0.65/lb more than dirty mixed loads. Red brass (85-5-5-5), with its higher copper content, pays even more, so keep it in its own container. We buy brass from plumbers, demolition contractors, gun ranges, and homeowners nationwide, with free commercial pickup and same-day payment. Prices track the copper market daily — call 954-488-0700 to lock in a quote.
