Brass Scrap Prices in Port Arthur, Texas
Updated Jul 8, 2026
All prices listed are delivered prices and subject to change without notice due to market conditions.
Brass turns up everywhere plumbing and industry do: valves, fittings, hose ends, fixtures, and machined parts. It is a copper alloy, so it carries real per-pound value — well above steel, below pure copper — and we buy it every day at the Port Arthur yard.
Plumbers and maintenance crews around the Golden Triangle are our most regular brass sellers, but a home renovation can produce a surprising bucket of it. Old faucets and valve bodies are heavier than they look.

Every pound counted.
What We Accept
- Yellow brass — faucets, valves, fittings, and decorative hardware
- Brass with attachments — steel handles or plastic parts are fine, but removing them raises the grade
- Machined brass turnings and solids from shop work
- Bronze and red brass — heavier copper-content alloys, graded separately
- When in doubt, bring it in — brass is graded at the scale like everything else
How Pricing Works
Brass is quoted per pound. Clean brass — free of steel, plastic, and heavy contamination — earns the listed price; mixed or contaminated material is graded down, so a quick sort before the scale pays off.
