Suitable brass scrap may include:

Brass fittings

Brass taps

Brass valves

Brass pipes and components

Brass offcuts

Brass castings

Brass engineering components

Brass plumbing components

Brass manufacturing scrap

Brass hardware

Other suitable brass scrap

The grade, composition, cleanliness, condition and quantity of the material can affect how it is assessed.

Brass Fittings

Brass fittings are commonly used in plumbing, heating, engineering and industrial applications.

When fittings are removed or replaced, businesses can be left with quantities of unwanted brass.

If you have brass fittings to sell, provide details about the type and approximate quantity. Photographs can also help show the material clearly.

Brass Taps

Old or unwanted brass taps can arise from plumbing businesses, property refurbishment, demolition and maintenance work.

If you have a quantity of brass taps, tell us approximately how much you have and whether the material is separated from other metals and components.

Brass Valves

Brass valves are used in plumbing, engineering and industrial systems. Old or unwanted brass taps can arise from plumbing businesses, property refurbishment, demolition and maintenance work.

Replacement and maintenance work can generate brass valves that are no longer required.

The type, condition and composition of the valves can vary, so providing photographs and useful information can help with assessment.

Brass Offcuts

Engineering, machining and manufacturing businesses can generate brass offcuts during regular production.

Keeping these offcuts separate from steel, aluminium, copper and other metals can make the material easier to identify when it is ready to sell.

Who Sells Brass Scrap?

Brass scrap can come from many different industries and commercial activities.

We may consider suitable brass scrap from:

Plumbers and Plumbing Businesses

Plumbing work can generate brass taps, fittings, valves and other components. Separating brass from general waste can make it easier to identify and manage when you are ready to sell.

Engineering Businesses

Engineering businesses may produce brass components, machining offcuts and other unwanted material. If you regularly generate brass scrap, keeping it separated and organised can help simplify future sales.

Manufacturers

Manufacturing businesses can accumulate brass offcuts, rejected components and surplus materials. If you have recurring quantities of brass scrap, provide details about the type of material and approximate volume.

Construction Companies

Construction, refurbishment and installation work can produce brass fittings, valves and other components. Sorting brass from other metals and general waste can help make the material easier to assess.

Demolition Companies

Demolition and strip-out projects can generate a mixture of recoverable metals, including brass. Brass may be found in plumbing systems, fittings, valves and other building components.

Industrial Businesses

Factories and industrial sites may have brass components, fittings and other materials left over from maintenance, replacement or production activities. If you have a commercial quantity of brass scrap, tell us what you have and where it is located.

Why Does Brass Scrap Have Value?

Brass is widely used because it combines copper with other metals to produce a material suitable for many applications.

It can be found in plumbing, engineering, manufacturing, construction and industrial products.

However, brass scrap does not have one fixed value.

The potential value of a brass load can depend on:

Type of brass
Composition
Grade
Cleanliness
Condition
Form of the material
Quantity
Other materials attached to it
Current market conditions

This means different types of brass scrap may be assessed differently.

Providing accurate information about your material gives a buyer a better understanding of what you have.

Clean Brass vs Mixed Brass Scrap

Clean Brass

The condition and cleanliness of brass can affect how easily it can be identified and assessed.

Mixed Brass Scrap

Clean brass that has been separated from other metals and unwanted materials can provide clearer information about the material.

Where practical, consider separating brass from:

Steel Copper Aluminium Plastic General waste Other mixed metals

Some brass components may also have coatings, fixings or other materials attached.

If you are unsure whether something should be separated, provide photographs and a description of the material before making arrangements.

Brass Scrap Buyers for Businesses

A fabrication workshop may produce offcuts. A manufacturer may have rejected or surplus components. A construction company may have unused profiles or sections. An automotive business may have aluminium wheels or components.

When suitable brass is separated from general waste and other metals, businesses can manage the material more efficiently and prepare it for sale.
