Straight answers on pricing, grading, and avoiding lowball offers — for every form of brass scrap, from plumbing fittings and valve bodies to shell casings and radiator cores.
Sell Your Scrap on ScrapTrade →Browse the FAQsMost scrap yards will not tell you exactly how they arrive at a price — why red brass pays more than yellow brass, why a “leaded brass” claim knocked money off your quote, or why your radiator core got a blended guess instead of a real split. This site breaks it down question by question, written for someone about to sell, not a recycling textbook.
When you are ready to sell without driving between yards for quotes, ScrapTrade connects you directly with verified brass buyers online — list once, compare real offers, and get paid through secure escrow instead of a handshake.
