Frequently Asked Questions
Brass is a highly versatile metal with the potential for infinite recyclability without losing its properties. By recycling brass, you actively contribute to:
- Reducing the demand for new materials
- Lowering energy consumption
- Minimising environmental impacts
Yellow brass is primarily made of copper and zinc in a similar ratio. However, when the amount of copper extensively increases, it renders a reddish hue in the brass. There can also be a mix of lead and tin. If you have any of these, do not worry, as both are entirely recyclable. However, their scrap value differs based on their composition.
Brass recycling is good for the planet and your wallet. The abundance of copper content makes it valuable even in scrap form. Since prices change often, brass is a good investment. We pay well for your scrap brass. Get rid of extra stuff and make money, too.
Contamination in brass scrap typically comes from mixed materials, like rubber gaskets or soldered joints, but this doesn't mean it is not recyclable. Our facilities use advanced sorting and decontamination technologies such as:

- Skimming
- Chemical treatment
It separates pure brass from other materials.
