How do I get the highest brass price in Massachusetts?
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 Massachusetts yards with your exact grade and weight usually surfaces the highest rate.

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.

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.
