Brass scrap in Vermont
Brass scrap in Vermont moves through yards that serve dairy and food processing, technology, and tourism. 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. A dozen or so yards in Vermont take brass, and sellers near Rutland, Barre, and Center Rutland have the largest number of buyers to compare. The Northeast corridor of mills, refiners, and ports keeps downstream buyers close, which tends to hold Vermont yard rates near the national benchmark.
