Bronze is a copper alloy where the main addition is tin, or in aluminium bronze, aluminium, rather than the zinc of brass. With high copper content and valuable tin, bronze scrap generally trades above yellow brass. It comes from bearings, bushings, ship propellers, valves, statues and electrical connectors.
Brass is copper plus zinc; bronze is copper plus tin, or aluminium for aluminium bronze. Bronze usually has more copper and contains tin, so it is generally worth more than yellow brass.
Even small amounts of aluminium spoil tin-bronze castings. Foundries pay less for mixed bronze or reject it, so keeping aluminium bronze apart protects the price of both.
