What Brass Items Can You Recycle?
Brass is one of the most valuable scrap metals you can recycle, and you might be surprised by how much of it you have around your home or worksite. Common brass items include bathroom and kitchen taps, door knobs, locks, hinges, musical instruments, decorative pieces, plumbing fittings, and various industrial components. That gold-like appearance you see on many household fixtures? That’s brass, and it’s worth good money.
Why Recycle Brass in Kingston?
Brass recycling isn’t just about putting cash in your pocket, though that’s certainly a great benefit. By recycling brass, you’re contributing to environmental sustainability by reducing the need for new mining operations, conserving energy (recycling brass uses significantly less energy than producing new brass), and keeping valuable materials out of landfills. Plus, brass can be recycled indefinitely without losing its properties, making it one of the most sustainable materials available.
Understanding Brass Grades and Pricing
At Action Metal Recyclers in Kingston, we accept various grades of brass, each with different values. Brass Mixed (also called Plumbers Brass or Honey Brass) consists of mixed yellow brass solids including castings, rolled brass, and tubing. Coast Brass contains mixed brass with steel or foreign attachments. Gun Metal has a higher copper content and deeper colour, whilst Brass Turnings are shavings from machined brass.
The value of your brass depends largely on its grade and the level of impurities present. Attachments like plastic coating, steel cords, or lead can affect classification and pricing. The cleaner your brass, the higher the value, it’s that simple. Because brass prices fluctuate based on copper and zinc prices on the International Metal Exchange, we recommend bringing your scrap in sooner rather than later to maximise your return.
