Brass scrap in Washington
The Washington market for brass scrap follows the state's mix of aerospace, technology, agriculture, and ports and shipping. 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. Dozens of yards in Washington list brass among what they buy, with the widest choice around Tacoma, Vancouver, and Seattle. 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 Washington rates. Treat the figures on this page as a daily national baseline; a Washington yard will quote around them once it knows your grade, weight, and how well the load is sorted.
