Brass scrap in Idaho
Brass scrap in Idaho moves through yards that serve agriculture, forestry, technology, and food processing. 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. Across Idaho, well over a dozen yards accept brass; the largest clusters are in Boise, Nampa, and Coeur D Alene. 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 Idaho rates. Treat the figures on this page as a daily national baseline; a Idaho yard will quote around them once it knows your grade, weight, and how well the load is sorted.
