Continue a History of Brass Recycling in St. Louis

Known for its lustrous physical appearance and aesthetic qualities, brass  is a metal alloy involving both copper and zinc; non-ferrous in nature, it is used for diverse purposes from musical instruments like the French horn, the trumpet, and the trombone to everyday objects like doorknobs and zippers.

St. Louis has a deep history of brass use, including by the Success Automobile Manufacturing Company and the St. Louis Motor Company , which operated in the city during what became known as the “brass era” in vehicle-making , a designation given for the brass in automobile fittings used during the period; it began around the turn of the 20th century and lasted for nearly 20 years.

Now, brass, sometimes in homes and certain other settings, is waning in popularity. If you have brass items that you don’t need anymore, there is an alternative to throwing them away that will help you make money AND benefit the economy, environment, and society as a larger unit : brass recycling at Scrap Mart Metals.  Some of the brass items that we purchase  from customers are door hinges, plumbing materials, lamps, and radiators.

One of the most impressive aspects of Scrap Mart Metals, one that distinguishes our recycling business from others is our unique transparency; you can see the scales at which we measure the brass we buy in real-time, so you know that our prices are appropriate and accurately based.
