They offer excellent prices for copper and other non ferrous metals. If you have a lot of brass, be sure to separate yellow and red from the "irony brass", otherwise you will lose 50¢ per pound on the yellow as they will count it as mixed.

Common questions and tips from our work with Brookville customers.
- Do you buy aluminum cans by the pound?
- Yes, cans are bought by weight rather than by count, so it takes a real volume to add up. Most sellers save cans in bags or a bin until they have a load worth hauling to Brookville. Cans do not need to be crushed or rinsed to be accepted, though keeping them dry and free of trash means less deduction and a faster weigh-in when you arrive.
- Does aluminum siding need the nails removed?
- Cleaner pays better. Siding and gutter with nails, screws, hangers, or steel brackets still attached counts as contaminated and grades lower than clean aluminum does. Pulling the fasteners is usually quick with a pry bar while the pieces are stacked. If you are tearing off a whole house worth of siding, call (937) 248-6810 first and we will tell you what level of cleanup is actually worth your time.
- How do I know if a piece is aluminum or steel?
- Weight and a magnet answer it. Aluminum is noticeably light for its size and a magnet will not stick to it at all. Painted steel trim can look identical to aluminum trim from three feet away, which trips people up on gutter and fascia jobs. Run a magnet down the pile before you load, and anything that grabs goes in the ferrous stack instead.
Tip
Keep clean aluminum out of the mixed pile
Clean extrusion, siding, and sheet grade better on their own than they do buried in a mixed bin. Give clean pieces their own container and let the painted, fastened, or otherwise dirty aluminum ride separately. It is the same effort either way, since you are loading the truck regardless, and it means the clean portion of your load does not get dragged down to the mixed rate at the Brookville scale.
