Brass Metal Recycling

Brass is an alloy made primarily of copper and zinc, known for its durability, malleability, and corrosion resistance. It’s widely used in various applications due to its strength and ease of fabrication. Brass also has an attractive gold-like appearance, making it popular in decorative applications as well.

Common Sources of
Brass Scrap

Plumbing Fixtures

Brass is commonly found in plumbing systems, including pipes, fittings, and valves, due to its corrosion resistance and strength.

Musical Instruments

Brass is used in the production of instruments like trumpets, trombones, and tubas because of its excellent acoustic properties.

Locks and Hinges

Due to its durability and resistance to wear, brass is often used in locks, door hinges, and other hardware.

Electronic Components

Brass is a good conductor of electricity, making it a valuable material for electrical connectors and terminals.

The Advantage of Recycling Brass

Recycling brass conserves resources, as it can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality. It reduces the need for mining, diverts waste from landfills, and uses less energy than producing new brass.
