Non-ferrous
Brass
Brass is an alloy family, not a single material. Price follows the copper content and how much sorting the parcel still needs.
Yellow brass, red brass, machinery brass and shell cases each sit at a different point on the copper curve. A parcel arriving pre-sorted by alloy realises materially more than the same tonnage mixed.
We take fittings, valves, taps, radiators, sheet clippings and turnings. Turnings are assessed separately for oil and iron content, which are both deducted.
