Brass scrap in Colorado
Colorado yards that buy brass draw most of their supply from aerospace, energy, technology, and mining. 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 Colorado list brass among what they buy, with the widest choice around Denver, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins. 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 Colorado rates. Posted prices on this page are national averages updated daily; Colorado yards set their own rates around them based on volume, prep, and freight, so call ahead with your grade and weight for a firm quote.
