Brass scrap in Arkansas
The Arkansas market for brass scrap follows the state's mix of food processing, paper and forestry, and steel. Yards price brass by grade: Yellow Brass and Red Brass. Keep Red Brass apart from Yellow Brass and mixed loads, because a mixed pile is paid at the lowest grade in it. Dozens of yards in Arkansas take brass, and sellers near Little Rock, Van Buren, and Hot Springs National Park have the largest number of buyers to compare. Regional demand from fittings foundries and pump manufacturers across the Southeast, plus nearby port access, supports steady brass buying in Arkansas. Treat the figures on this page as a daily national baseline; a Arkansas yard will quote around them once it knows your grade, weight, and how well the load is sorted.
