Recycling Your Brass Scrap Metal

Brass scrap metal recycling is a common way for people to earn money.

Brass has been a well-used material for decoration due to its bright, gold-like appearance. It is commonly used for drawer pulls and doorknobs. Most eating utensils contain brass due to properties such as having a low melting point, high workability, durability, and electrical and thermal conductivity.

Brass is a copper alloy commonly found in plumbing and fixtures. It is also found in car radiators, door knobs, and in trim hardware.

The most well-known copper alloy families are brass (copper-zinc), bronze (copper-tin) and copper-nickel.

Industrial uses of brass result in many types of scrap, such as turnings, borings, and grindings.
