Brass scrap in Texas
The Texas market for brass scrap follows the state's mix of oil and gas, petrochemicals, technology hardware, 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 Texas, dozens of yards accept brass; the largest clusters are in Houston, Dallas, and Fort Worth. Demand from fittings foundries and pump manufacturers in the Southwest and along the Gulf keeps brass moving through Texas yards. Treat the figures on this page as a daily national baseline; a Texas yard will quote around them once it knows your grade, weight, and how well the load is sorted.

Frequently asked about brass in Texas
What is the brass scrap price in Texas today?
This page lists the current US national average for every brass grade, updated daily from commodity markets. Texas 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 Texas buy brass?
The yards listed on this page accept brass. In Texas the largest number of buyers to compare are around Houston, Dallas, and Fort Worth. Call ahead to confirm which grades a yard takes and whether it is open for public drop-off.
How do I get the highest brass price in Texas?
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 Texas yards on the same day.
What prep gets the highest brass price at a Texas 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.
Do I need ID to sell brass scrap in Texas?
Expect to show a photo ID and have the transaction logged; scrap metal purchase records are standard practice and required by law in much of the country. Some Texas yards also photograph the material and pay by check for larger amounts.
