Unlock The Best Brass Return
Brass value comes down to cleanliness, grade and what is still attached. Clean Brass, Irony Brass, Brass Swarf and Copper Brass Radiators are all graded differently, based on contamination, attached steel or plastic, and overall quality.
Bring your brass in for an assessment on the spot. No appointment is needed for a standard drop-off, and we confirm the grade before payment.
