Thanx dude. One wouldn't believe that Brass is found in Plug Prongs ( but most are slightly Coated hence " dirty Brass" price) Prongs inside Surge Protectors and Electrical boxes. Ceiling fans( not all but check), garden hose Ends, Zippers on most pants. One may think it's brass. Bullets! Some are Brass with a silver color coating. Sometimes it's Aluminum:(. 20 years ago Brass and Aluminum were both 35 cents a pound. We get $2.30 per pound. One Scrapyard didny care if it were chrome plated ( usually found on Beer Keg plumbing ) Lol they even took Water faucets! Lotta plastic and sometimes metal plate. I meticulously take them apart - there is Copper in there. It all adds up! Almost forgot- Bronze gets Brass price. In 20 years Ive only seen 2 Bronze items. 10:23 24:56

[@scrapitall200]

That’s why I love brass, it’s found in so many areas. My yard doesn’t care if it has plating or solder or paint, it’s all clean yellow brass to them. I’ve found a few pieces of bronze, but my yard only pays yellow brass price for them, which is fine by me, less sorting lol. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment, I appreciate it.

[@GDSavingThePast]

Very insightful video, thanks for sharing. Several questions come to mind. Is there a difference in what the scrap yards pay between brass and bronze and if so how do you separate one from the other. The other thing is where do you find all haul like that.

[@scrapitall200]

Thank you for watching. Yes, some scrap yards pay a different price for bronze, but most don’t. Yellow brass will look very yellow and bronze will look like a faded copper-ish color. I tell as many people I know that I scrap and they’ll call me when they have stuff or know of people with scrap. Dumpster diving or driving the streets on garbage day is another way to find scrap people are throwing away. Placing ads in local papers saying you’ll haul away scrap for free is another option.

That shower valve looked new, and was likely worth upwards of 150 used. We can now add Valve Murder to your lengthy list of crimes. You should probably hire an attorney. The class action suit, available to 3.5 billion people without a shower is now an attractive idea for the hungry attorneys.
