Braziery Copper Scrap Prices Birmingham
Looking to sell Braziery Copper in Birmingham? At West Midlands Metals, we pay competitive market prices per kilo for copper tanks, cylinders and sheet copper.
Braziery typically consists of approximately 80% copper and 20% brass, which places it below clean copper tube and Dry Bright Wire in value — but it still commands strong scrap prices when properly sorted.
We update our copper prices daily so you always know what you’re getting before you weigh in.
What Is Braziery Copper?
Braziery copper refers to copper items that contain brass fittings or mixed copper components.
It is commonly found in:
-
Copper hot water cylinders
-
Copper tanks
-
Immersion heater units
-
Roofing sheet copper
-
Copper boiler components
-
Industrial copper vessels
Because it contains brass and mixed metals, it is graded separately from clean copper pipe or heavy copper tube.
Why Braziery Is Graded Separately
Braziery is typically:
-
Around 80% copper
-
Around 20% brass or mixed metals
-
May contain fittings or attached components
This mixed composition means it cannot be classified as pure copper, which affects the per kilo price.
However, separating braziery from mixed scrap ensures you receive the correct copper-based valuation rather than a lower mixed-metal rate.
How To Maximise Your Braziery Scrap Price
To achieve the best possible return:
✔ Remove steel components
✔ Drain and empty cylinders
✔ Remove excessive contamination
✔ Keep separate from clean copper grades
✔ Do not mix with general scrap
Proper preparation ensures accurate grading and protects your price.
