📊 What Determines Grade Value:

  • Copper-to-Zinc Ratio: Higher copper content in Red Brass or Bronze Scrap results in a higher payout compared to zinc-heavy yellow alloys.
  • Contamination Levels: The presence of steel screws, plastic handles, or rubber washers in Irony Brass will trigger a price markdown.
  • Moisture & Oil: Industrial Brass Turnings are often docked if they are saturated with cutting fluids or coolant.
  • Physical Prep: Removing steel stems from Water Meters or stripping plastic from Brass Shells increases the recovery rate at the smelter.
💡 Pro tip: Always separate your 'Red' from your 'Yellow.' Red brass has a higher copper content and typically pays significantly more per pound than the standard yellow variety.
