Factors Affecting Scrap Metal Price
The price of brass is dependent on the type and the quality. Prices change on a daily basis due to market demand and the estimates we provide are based on a per tonne weight. Our prices are competitive with the market and we offer multiple payment methods, including cheque, BACs and same day transfer payments upon collection or delivery of the brass. Determining scrap metal prices per kilogram involves several factors, and it can vary depending on the type of metal, its quality, market demand, and location. Here are some of the factors we take into consideration when giving you a price for your scrap metal.

How to Sell Scrap BRASS
Selling your scrap brass to H&S Metals is easy. Simply drop off your metal to one of our scrap yards in Portsmouth or Bishops Waltham. Alternatively, we can collect the scrap metal if you are located in Portsmouth or Southampton. We will then weigh the metal and provide you with a printed receipt detailing the weight and current rates. You can then choose whether you'd like to be paid via cheque, BACS or same day transfer. When we buy your scrap brass, we will need to see some ID and proof of your address. This could include a valid photocard driving licence or a passport with a utility bill dated within the last 3 months. We cannot accept mobile phone bills as proof of your address.
Where Can brass Be Found?
Brass is a metal alloy made up of both copper and zinc. Lead can also be found in brass, added in to improve its machinability. Brass is commonly identifiable by its bright gold appearance.
For recycling purposes you are likely to find larger quantities in things such as plumbing, taps, doors, handles and ornaments. You’ll also find brass in firearm casings, radiators, architectural trim, pipes, tubing and screws.
You are likely to find brass in the home, in business settings including hotels and in industries such as plumbing and heating.
WHERE CAN I SCRAP BRASS?
We have one scrap yard in Portsmouth and one in Bishops Waltham which is close to Southampton and Winchester. Taking your scrap brass directly to a yard will enable us to check the quality and weight before offering you a price on site.
We also offer a collection service for larger quantities of scrap metal. Give us a call to discuss the scrap metal collection service in more detail.
