Brass

Scrap brass, graded and paid fairly

Brass is the metal most people leave money on the floor with, because it gets tossed in with steel or copper. Brothers buys scrap brass in Melbourne at daily-market rates: taps, valves, fittings and plumbing offcuts. Bring it in or book a free pickup.

How to get the best brass rate

Brass pays its own rate, which sits between copper and steel. Keep it separate from steel and copper so it does not get blended down. Old taps still have value even with chrome plating. We grade plated brass on the bench and tell you the number first.

What not to bring as brass

Chrome-plated steel fittings are not brass. A magnet sorts it: brass is non-magnetic, plated steel is not. If you are unsure, bring it. We test it with you at the bench.
