Brass scrap in Hawaii
Brass scrap in Hawaii moves through yards that serve tourism, defense, and agriculture. Expect separate prices for Yellow Brass and Red Brass. Clean, sorted Red Brass sits at the top of the board while Yellow Brass is priced for the extra processing it needs. Across Hawaii, a dozen or so yards accept brass; the largest clusters are in Honolulu, Kapolei, and Hilo. 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 Hawaii rates. Use the national averages here as your baseline. Individual Hawaii yards move with volume, cleanliness, and local freight, and a quick call with your grade and weight gets you an exact number.

Which scrap yards in Hawaii buy brass?
The yards listed on this page accept brass. In Hawaii the largest number of buyers to compare are around Honolulu, Kapolei, and Hilo. Call ahead to confirm which grades a yard takes and whether it is open for public drop-off.
How do I get the highest brass price in Hawaii?
Clean material earns the top of the board: remove steel screws, rubber gaskets, and chrome plating, separate Red Brass from lower grades, and bring ID. Calling two or three Hawaii yards with your exact grade and weight usually surfaces the highest rate.
How should I prepare brass before selling it in Hawaii?
Separate grades, remove steel screws, rubber gaskets, and chrome plating, and keep loads dry. Yards pay for the grade they can see, so mixed or dirty material is priced at the lowest grade in the pile.
Do I need ID to sell brass scrap in Hawaii?
Scrap yards routinely ask for a government photo ID and record the sale, and state law often requires it for metal purchases. Bring ID, expect a photo of the load, and ask whether the yard pays cash or check.
