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.
- What metals do you take at the yard?
- Both sides of the pile. Ferrous covers steel, cast iron, and stainless. Non-ferrous covers copper, brass, and aluminum, in forms ranging from wire and pipe to sheet, siding, and cut-up machinery. If you are holding something and are not sure whether it has value or whether we accept it, call (937) 248-6810 before you load and we will tell you straight.
- How do I tell ferrous from non-ferrous metal?
- Use a magnet. If it sticks, the piece is ferrous, which means steel, iron, or most cast iron. If the magnet falls off, you are usually looking at copper, brass, aluminum, or a stainless grade that is worth more per pound. Stainless is the tricky one, since some grades hold a magnet weakly. Bring anything questionable and we will identify it at the scale.
- Do I need an ID to sell scrap in Ohio?
- Bring a valid photo ID. Ohio requires scrap metal dealers to record seller and vehicle information on transactions, so plan on showing your license at the office window when you settle up. Having it out and ready keeps things moving, especially during the Saturday 9 to 2 window when the Brookville yard sees the most traffic.
Tip
Split the load into piles before you drive
Even a rough sort pays. Keep copper away from brass, brass away from aluminum, and all of it away from the steel. A load that arrives already separated gets weighed grade by grade instead of getting handled twice, and it removes any guesswork about what belongs where. If you are not sure how to divide something, leave it in its own pile and ask when you pull in.
