Brass scrap in Utah
In Utah, brass reaches the scrap stream by way of technology, aerospace and defense, and mining. Expect separate prices for Yellow Brass and Red Brass. Clean, sorted Red Brass sits at the top of the board while Yellow Brass is priced for the extra processing it needs. Well over a dozen yards in Utah take brass, and sellers near Salt Lake City, Ogden, and Logan have the largest number of buyers to compare. West Coast ports and the regional mill base feed demand for fittings foundries and pump manufacturers, though longer hauls to inland buyers can show in posted Utah rates. Use the national averages here as your baseline. Individual Utah yards move with volume, cleanliness, and local freight, and a quick call with your grade and weight gets you an exact number.

How do I get the highest brass price in Utah?
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 Utah yards on the same day.

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.
