Where to sell scrap range brass (Pensacola)

[dber2c]

I have a decent amount of scrap (crushed and dented) brass and spent primers that I was looking to take to a recycling center to get some money for, but I went to SA recycling in Pensacola and they said they could not take it. Does anyone know of another recycling center in the area that will take it? Thank

Unless policies have changed, I used Wise recycling on hwy 29 just north of the interstate. That has been a few years ago though...

Wise on 29 will indeed take it, just took a bucket of spent primers and scrap cases not that long ago.

 

[dber2c]

Good to know! Thanks for the info!

@dber2c - did wise take it? I'm in the same boat - looking for a place to buy mine.

 

[dber2c]

@Med24 I’m not sure if it is still called wise recycling but the place that is off of I-10 and hwy 29 bought the brass I had.

Definitely go there. They paid way more than the place in East Milton did. Sold them a ton of brass and a bucket of lead bullets I picked out of the sand where I used to shoot

Don't go to the one out side Brewton jj

Wise recycling on Hwy 59 in Foley takes it. I dropped off a 100 lbs of spent brass on Tuesday. They were only paying $1.27 a pound. Last month we got $1.86 a pound.

Well I just got back from Advanced Environmental recycling in Bay Minette AL. Two weeks ago $1.75 per pound for rifle brass that was deprimed. Today the owner wasn’t there. Told the worker when he called him to make sure he new that there are no primers. The worker has very bad English and I don’t think he told him. Went to the cashier. And she offered me sixty cents a pound. I smiled and said give me my brass back. I will throw it in the garbage first. Online the nation average was $1.80 a pound. On Friday. Will try again when the owner is there. But I’m going to give him a piece of my mind. How in the world did he come up with sixty cents?

These guys took my scrap brass. I think the price was in the 1.70 - 1.75 area a couple of months ago. You can call them first.

What’s a estimate a full bucket of brass fetch at the scrap yard?

What’s a estimate a full bucket of brass fetch at the scrap yard?

It's still running about 1.70/lb. I used the one on Hope Drive above. Didn't have any problems. Throw the bucket on a scale and you will get a close estimate.

 

[dirty25]

I don’t have a scale that will go that high. I guess I’ll just have to go and be surprised.

 

[Metal Storm]

I recall around $100.00 for my overflowing 5 gal bucket.

 

[Med24]

I agree with above , I'd expect at least $100. Should b worth the trip.

 

[dirty25]

Metal Recycling Inc in FWB took my range scrap today. $1.95 LB was todays price. I’d say $110 a full bucket was what I got.

My son was between jobs so I gave him the 56 pounds of fired with spent primers in place I’d saved up…not reloadable due to berdan or split cases. Wise paid him $1.96 a pound. This was about 2 weeks ago.
