How do I get the highest brass price in New York?
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 New York yards on the same day.
What prep gets the highest brass price at a New York yard?
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.
