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 cast iron tubs and radiators?
- Yes. Cast iron radiators, tubs, drain stack, machinery, and engine blocks are all standard ferrous material here. The catch is handling, since a single radiator can run well over two hundred pounds. Our crew helps unload the heavy pieces at the scale area, so you do not need to bring extra hands. Let us know at the gate that you have something heavy on the trailer.
- What is the best way to haul a heavy steel load?
- Keep it low and tied down, and load with unloading in mind. Long pipe and beams should sit lengthwise where they can be slid off rather than lifted, and loose small steel does better in a bin or bucket than scattered across the bed. Our drive lane and scale area are clear enough for a truck and trailer, so you can pull straight through instead of backing into a tight spot.
- Do you take appliances or units holding refrigerant?
- Call (937) 248-6810 before you load anything that held refrigerant, like an AC unit, refrigerator, or freezer. Sealed systems have handling requirements that differ from plain steel, and what we can accept depends on the condition the unit arrives in. Plain appliance steel with no sealed system is straightforward. One phone call saves you from hauling something out here and back home again.
Tip
Cut long pipe and beams down first
Anything over eight feet or so is awkward to move by hand and awkward to weigh. Cutting long pipe, conduit, and structural steel into manageable lengths before you load makes the trip safer, lets you fit more on the trailer, and speeds up the weigh-in when you get to Brookville. A cutoff wheel or a torch handles most of it. If cutting is not an option, tell us when you arrive and we will work with it.
