Non-ferrous
Bronze
Bronze sits at the top of the copper-alloy curve. The tin content is what separates it from brass in the price.
We take bearing bronze, gunmetal, phosphor bronze, manganese bronze and marine propellers. High-lead bronze is priced separately from low-lead, and borings are assessed for oil and steel swarf.
Because bronze arrives in small, high-value parcels, we agree the alloy split before collection rather than after weighing.
