The United Kingdom is a major generator and exporter of brass scrap, with well-established dealer networks throughout the industrial Midlands, Yorkshire, and the South East. Brass scrap in the UK includes radiator brass, heavy brass, and mixed yellow brass from demolition, manufacturing, and electrical sectors.
UK brass scrap pricing tracks the LME copper and zinc components, adjusted for grade and purity. Radiator brass and Yellow Brass #1 command the highest prices; mixed or contaminated grades receive proportionally larger discounts. Exports typically flow to smelters in Europe and Asia.
UK brass is traded in GBP domestically, with export contracts usually priced in USD. Most exports go via Southampton, Tilbury (London), or Birmingham (for road freight to European buyers). Lead times for container loads are typically 2–4 weeks.
UK brass scrap sellers can reach European and Asian buyers directly through MetalsPlace. Post with grade classification, net weight, and preferred delivery terms to attract the best offers quickly.
Buyers of UK brass scrap should confirm lead content limits and purity standards before purchase. For export, ensure HMRC export documentation is in order and consider third-party weighing and inspection.
