What We Buy About Contact

Materials

Non-Ferrous
Metals

Copper, brass, bronze, nickel, and zinc in industrial forms. We are not a general scrap yard. Where we add value is on high-purity, well-segregated industrial material and on non-ferrous that comes as part of a larger specialty metals load.

What It Is

Non-ferrous metals are traded at every scrap yard in the country. We are not competing at the commodity level. Where we add value is on high-purity industrial material, specialty alloys within the non-ferrous category, and non-ferrous that comes as part of a larger specialty metals load. If you have carbide, precious metals, or exotic alloys alongside your copper and brass, we take it all in one trip.

Copper is the most valuable standard non-ferrous metal by weight. Industrial copper in clean, segregated forms (bus bar, heavy gauge wire, tubing, and machined components) prices well above mixed or contaminated copper. If you have clean industrial copper as part of a larger material stream, we take it all.

Brass and bronze from machining operations are common in industrial settings. Turned parts, fittings, valve bodies, and bronze bushings are all buyable material. Grade and cleanliness matter. Leaded brass is a distinct alloy from free-machining brass and prices differently.

Nickel and nickel alloys in the non-ferrous category sit just below the exotic alloys threshold. Pure nickel, Monel, and lower-grade nickel alloys that don't qualify as superalloys are still worth buying and pricing separately from base non-ferrous.

If you have non-ferrous as part of a larger load of tungsten carbide, precious metals, or exotic alloys, we take the non-ferrous as part of the deal. We don't cherry-pick the high-value material and leave you with the rest.

How We
Assess

Segregation
Clean, separated material prices better than mixed. If you can keep copper separate from brass and brass separate from bronze before we arrive, do it. We explain the difference in value on site.
Purity
Industrial manufacturing offcuts and machining scrap are generally cleaner than recovered demolition or mixed-source material. Purity affects the offer directly.
Form
Solid cut-offs, bus bar, and machined parts are the cleanest forms. Chips and turnings are buyable but require more processing. Both have value.
Context
Non-ferrous on its own may or may not be worth a standalone trip depending on quantity. Combined with higher-value specialty material, we take it all in the same pickup.
Market
Copper, brass, and nickel prices track the LME. We price against current market rates at time of assessment, not a fixed weekly schedule.

What We Accept

Forms We Buy

Industrial non-ferrous in clean, identifiable form. Mixed demolition scrap is better suited for a general yard. If you have quality industrial material, we want it.

🟤

Copper

Bus bar, heavy gauge wire, tubing, machined components, and industrial copper offcuts. High-purity copper prices well above mixed. Clean and segregated preferred.

🔶

Brass

Machined brass components, fittings, valve bodies, and brass scrap from manufacturing. Free-machining, leaded, and naval brass all considered. Grade matters.

🏆

Bronze

Bushings, bearings, cast bronze, and machining scrap. Phosphor bronze, aluminum bronze, and manganese bronze all have distinct values. Segregated preferred.

🔘

Nickel & Monel

Pure nickel, Monel alloy, and lower-grade nickel alloy scrap. Often part of larger specialty metal loads. Priced separately from base non-ferrous.

Zinc

Pure zinc, zamak die cast scrap, and zinc alloy material from manufacturing operations. Industrial forms in clean condition.

📦

Mixed Non-Ferrous Loads

Non-ferrous as part of a larger specialty metals load. We take it all in one trip, price each material correctly, and settle in a single transaction.

The Supply Chain

Who's Involved

Who Sells to Us

  • Machine shops with brass, bronze, and copper machining scrap
  • Electrical contractors and fabricators with copper offcuts
  • Industrial facilities decommissioning copper-bearing equipment
  • Plumbing and HVAC contractors with copper and brass scrap
  • Die casting operations with zinc and aluminum scrap
  • Facilities with mixed non-ferrous alongside higher-value specialty metals
  • Surplus dealers with non-ferrous inventory

Where It Goes

  • Non-ferrous processors and secondary smelters
  • Copper and brass mills for remelting into new alloy
  • Nickel alloy processors for segregated material
  • All material goes to verified downstream handlers

Why Liberty

We Take It All

The value of working with a specialty buyer on non-ferrous is that we don't force you to make two calls.

No Cherry-Picking

If you have tungsten carbide or precious metals alongside non-ferrous, we take everything in one trip. You deal with one buyer, one transaction, one payment.

Grade-Accurate Pricing

Copper, brass, and bronze are not all the same price. We price to grade and alloy, not to a single non-ferrous catch-all rate.

Payment at Pickup

Every deal settled at time of collection. Non-ferrous is priced and paid the same day as any specialty material in the same load.

Industrial Focus

We work with manufacturing operations, machine shops, and industrial facilities. Clean, segregated industrial non-ferrous is exactly what we handle well.
