EVERY BRASS FORM, ONE CASH BUYER
Yellow brass, red brass — all of it pays cash.
Brass is the golden alloy in plumbing, valves, instruments, and ammunition casings. Yellow brass (fittings, fixtures) and red brass (valves, pumps) are both valuable scrap. Here is what I buy for cash.
Shell Casings
Spent brass casings from shooting ranges and gun clubs — swept, by the bucket. Legitimate sources only: ranges, clubs, and training facilities.
Instruments & Keys
Trumpets, trombones, tubas, and brass keys. Retired band instruments and locksmith buckets both count.
Turnings & Shavings
Curly brass chips from lathes and machine shops, swept into drums. Shops generating turnings get recurring pickup.
