Which scrap yards in Indiana buy brass?
Dozens of yards in Indiana list brass among the materials they buy; the yards on this page are the ones we have on record, with the largest concentration around Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Evansville. Confirm grades and hours before you drive.
How do I get the highest brass price in Indiana?
Sort by grade before you arrive, strip steel screws, rubber gaskets, and chrome plating, and keep Red Brass separate from Yellow Brass. Weigh your load yourself, ask for the price per grade rather than a lump sum, and compare two or three Indiana yards on the same day.
What prep gets the highest brass price at a Indiana yard?
Sorting is the single biggest lever: keep grades apart, strip steel screws, rubber gaskets, and chrome plating, and avoid mixing in anything the yard has to hand-sort. Dry, clean loads weigh and price honestly.
What do Indiana yards require from sellers of brass?
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.
