Brass scrap in Alaska
In Alaska, brass reaches the scrap stream by way of oil and gas production, fishing, and mining. The grades yards commonly quote are Yellow Brass and Red Brass; Red Brass usually earns the top rate and Yellow Brass the lowest, so sorting before you arrive pays. A dozen or so yards in Alaska take brass, and sellers near Anchorage, Fairbanks, and North Pole have the largest number of buyers to compare. West Coast ports and the regional mill base feed demand for fittings foundries and pump manufacturers, though longer hauls to inland buyers can show in posted Alaska rates. Use the national averages here as your baseline. Individual Alaska yards move with volume, cleanliness, and local freight, and a quick call with your grade and weight gets you an exact number.
