Brass scrap in Michigan
In Michigan, brass reaches the scrap stream by way of automotive manufacturing, steel, and aerospace. 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 Michigan, dozens of yards accept brass; the largest clusters are in Detroit, Flint, and Grand Rapids. Midwest mills, auto plants, and rail links put Michigan yards close to the consuming buyers of fittings foundries and pump manufacturers. Posted prices on this page are national averages updated daily; Michigan 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.

Frequently asked about brass in Michigan
What is the brass scrap price in Michigan today?
This page lists the current US national average for every brass grade, updated daily from commodity markets. Michigan yards set their own rates around that figure based on volume, prep, and local freight, so use it as a baseline and confirm by phone.
Which scrap yards in Michigan buy brass?
Dozens of yards in Michigan list brass among the materials they buy; the yards on this page are the ones we have on record, with the largest concentration around Detroit, Flint, and Grand Rapids. Confirm grades and hours before you drive.
How do I get the highest brass price in Michigan?
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 Michigan yards on the same day.
How should I prepare brass before selling it in Michigan?
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.
Do I need ID to sell brass scrap in Michigan?
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.
