Yellow copper is a copper alloy with a distinctive golden yellow color. It consists mostly of copper and zinc and is widely used in plumbing, ornamental and engineering applications. Because it is an alloy, yellow copper has a slightly lower value than red copper, but it remains a highly desirable metal to recycle. Recycling brass saves resources and gives this versatile material a second life.
Yellow copper is notable for its warm yellow-gold appearance. It often resembles brass in appearance, but has a slightly redder hue due to its higher copper content. It feels heavy and solid and is often mistaken for bronze. The difference is in the color: yellow copper is lighter and has more luster.
Where do you find yellow copper for recycling?
Yellow copper is commonly found in and around buildings, as well as in engineering applications. Common sources of yellow copper are:
Old faucets and fittings
Decorative ornaments and ornamentation
Parts of musical instruments
Fittings and switches in old installations
