Scrap Brass Melbourne — Cash for Taps, Fittings, Valves & More
Brass is one of those materials that accumulates quietly — old taps pulled out during a bathroom reno, gate valves from a plumbing job, fittings from a commercial fit-out. Most people don't realise it's worth selling until they've got a box full of it. Brass is a copper-zinc alloy and it holds its value well, particularly yellow brass and red brass (which has a higher copper content).
We buy all types of scrap brass from Melbourne residents, plumbers, builders, and businesses. Taps, valves, fittings, bushings, flanges, automotive brass (carburettors, radiator tanks), and mixed brass loads. We grade the material when you bring it in and pay at current market rates — no guesswork, no lowballing.
If you're a plumber or builder with regular brass offcuts, it's worth setting up a collection arrangement. Call us to discuss — we can often make it worth your while to consolidate your scrap and bring it in as a single load.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between yellow brass and red brass?
Yellow brass is the most common type — taps, fittings, and standard plumbing components. Red brass has a higher copper content and fetches a slightly better price. We'll identify your material when you bring it in.
Do you buy brass with steel or iron attached?
Yes, but mixed material is priced lower than clean brass. If you can separate the brass from steel components, you'll get a better price for the brass portion.
I'm a plumber — can I sell my brass offcuts regularly?
Absolutely. We're happy to work with tradespeople on a regular basis. Call us to discuss a collection arrangement or drop-off schedule.
How do you price brass?
We price based on the current brass market rate, the grade (yellow vs red), and the quantity. We weigh your material and pay at the agreed rate on the spot.
