What We Buy
Scrap Brass
Old taps, plumbing fittings, valves and keys add up. Brass is worth far more than steel, so keep it out of the general scrap and bring it to us.
Overview
Small Pieces, Good Money
Brass is mostly copper mixed with zinc, which is why it's worth so much more than steel. A bucket of old taps and fittings from a renovation or a plumber's van is well worth bringing in.
Like copper, it's graded on how clean it is. Brass with steel, plastic or rubber attached is paid at a lower rate, so a few minutes with a screwdriver or a hacksaw can pay off.
Grades We Buy
Yellow Brass
Taps, plumbing fittings, keys, door hardware and other common brass, free of steel and plastic.
Red Brass
Heavier, redder castings such as valves, water meter bodies and pump housings. Often called gunmetal.
Brass Swarf
Turnings and shavings from machining, kept dry and free of steel and oil.
Brass with Attachments
Brass with steel screws, plastic handles or rubber washers still on. Paid at a lower rate.
How It Works
Selling scrap at our Hallam yard takes a few minutes.
Bring it in
Bring your scrap to our Hallam yard in the car, ute or trailer. For bigger loads, we can collect.
We sort and weigh it
We sort your metal by grade and weigh each grade on its own, so every kilo is paid at the right price.
Show your ID
Victorian law requires us to record photo ID from everyone who sells us scrap metal.
Get paid
We pay by bank transfer, as scrap metal dealers in Victoria can't pay in cash. Bring your BSB and account number.
What We Buy
Brass turns up all over the house, the workshop and the job site. A magnet helps: brass isn't magnetic, so if a magnet sticks, there's steel inside or it isn't brass.
