Industry Insights
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Because it contains copper, its price closely tracks the copper market. Red brass (high copper content) pays out significantly higher than yellow brass (plumbing fixtures, keys).
If you are a plumbing contractor or demolition expert, separating your red and yellow brass before calling Outscene Global will instantly increase your valuation. Current rates are incredibly favorable for clean industrial brass.
Key Takeaways
- Red brass is more valuable than yellow brass.
- Plumbing fixtures must be free of plastic.
- Prices follow the copper market trends.
