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.

Serving Centerville
Centerville spreads across southern Montgomery County into Washington Township, mixing a genuinely old core around the Uptown historic district with a large ring of 1960s through 1990s subdivisions. The stone houses and older buildings near Uptown are the kind of property where copper, brass, and cast iron still turn up during renovation. The newer subdivisions are producing a different wave right now, since homes built in the 70s and 80s are on their second furnace, second AC unit, and often their second water heater. Centerville also has an active contractor and property-management presence, and those crews accumulate metal faster than a homeowner does. The drive to Brookville runs northwest across the county, which is why sellers here tend to consolidate into one full load.

Why Centerville customers need this work
Remodel and mechanical-replacement scrap is what Centerville sends our way. That means copper water line and coil, brass valves and fittings, aluminum trim and gutter, steel appliance cabinets, and the occasional cast iron tub out of an older Uptown-area house. Since Centerville sellers are usually making a deliberate trip rather than a quick stop, loads arrive mixed, and mixed loads are exactly where grading discipline pays. We split ferrous from non-ferrous, separate copper and brass by grade, and explain the yellow versus red brass difference before the metal is weighed. Nothing gets paid at the lowest grade in the pile just because it arrived together.

Why Choose Smitty's Salvage for Scrap Metal Recycling in Centerville
Centerville sellers make the run northwest to our Brookville yard with copper, brass, aluminum, stainless, and steel. We weigh each metal by grade, help unload the heavy pieces, and settle payment at the office window the same day. Weekday hours run 8 to 5 and Saturday runs 9 to 2. Call (937) 248-6810 before you load if you want to know how we grade brass by color or what to do with a mixed pile from a remodel.
Centerville customers choose us because we treat every project like it's our own — no upselling, no surprises, just straightforward work that gets the job done right.
Whether you live in Centerville or just need a reliable team nearby, we're a short drive from Brookville and happy to walk you through every recommendation before any work begins.
Centerville is a longer haul than our nearest towns, so the trip has to be worth it. It is worth it when the load is mixed and the grading is done right, because separating copper grades and brass colors on a full trailer moves the total more than a few miles of gas ever will. We do that sorting at the scale, in front of you, and answer questions while it happens. The yard is clean and organized under new management, the crew helps with unloading, and payment happens at the office window before you pull out. Call ahead and we will tell you how to stage the load before you drive up.
