Brass Scrap Recycling
Pilbara Scrap Metal Recyclers has a dedicated brass buying category. Contact the team if your scrap enquiry involves brass rather than copper or other metals.
Brass is a copper-based alloy rather than pure copper. It is commonly encountered in fittings, valves, hardware, plumbing components and some industrial parts. Colour alone is not a reliable way to determine composition, particularly when a piece has plating, paint or a different metal attached. Describe what the items came from and whether their material has been identified.
When asking about a brass load, explain whether the pieces are loose, attached to equipment or mixed with steel, plastic or other materials. Approximate weight, number of containers and clear photos are useful starting points. The team can then discuss whether a closer assessment or separation is needed. Do not assume a particular brass grade or fixed payment rate solely from appearance.
For mixed non-ferrous material, compare our copper category and the wider materials we buy list. Ask which items are currently accepted and whether delivery or collection is appropriate for your location. A specific material description makes that conversation more useful than a generic request for a scrap price.
Understanding This Category
Brass is an alloy and should be described separately from copper. Tell the team whether the material is identifiable brass, mixed with other metals, or part of larger items.
What to Include in Your Enquiry
The condition, approximate quantity and Western Australia location help the business review your enquiry. Confirm current acceptance, grading, prices and arrangements before visiting a depot.
How to Describe Brass for an Enquiry
Brass may appear in different shapes and assemblies, such as certain fittings, valves, hardware or offcuts. The material must be identified rather than judged by colour alone; some yellow or plated items can contain other metals.
Let the team know if the brass is loose, connected to other components, or mixed into a larger scrap load. An approximate quantity and clear description help avoid confusion with the separate copper category.
If parts include seals, plastic, steel or fluid-containing components, explain that in the enquiry. Confirm whether any separation is required rather than dismantling unfamiliar equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is brass the same as copper?
No. Brass is an alloy whose composition differs from copper, so the website lists it as a separate buying category.
What if a fitting is only brass-coloured?
Do not assume the metal composition. Describe the item and any known specification so its suitability can be discussed.
Can I ask about mixed brass and copper?
Yes, provide separate quantities if known and explain how the materials are mixed.
