If you are thinking of brass recycling in Vineland, or in fact of any scrap metal recycling, you may be hesitating because you are not positive about what metals you actually have or what they are really worth. The news is good, though: If you have scrap metals there is a local Vineland facility that will usually be willing to pay you cash for them. Every scrap metal is unique and is thus valued differently. While the values can be very different, you may want to use a quick and easy magnet test to find out if you have a more valuable metal or a lesser one.
All you need for the magnet test is a magnet that is big enough to work with and metals that are clean enough that you can get clear access to them. You will just hold a piece of your brass or other scrap metal up to the magnet. Watch carefully to see if it attaches. A non ferrous metal, such as brass, is not going to attach to the magnet. This is good news when you see a metal that does not attach to the magnet, because this means it is a non ferrous metal and thus worth much more money than it would be worth if it were ferrous (if it attached to the magnet.)
Even a metal that attaches to the magnet, a ferrous metal, will still have some value. However, the value difference in lead recycling and Brass Scrap Recycling is quite considerable, with brass being worth the greater amount. Renting large receptacles to throw the scrap metal into and then transport it to the recycler is easiest, most people find. Even though your scraps will all be in a big pile this way, your scrap metal recyclers will take care of the sorting for you.
If you have a smaller amount of scrap metal and you want to go ahead and get it all pre sorted into ferrous and non ferrous piles, you can certainly do so and that may speed up the process of getting your money for the scrap. Ask your local recycling facility what your options are!.
