Cartridge & Range Brass / Recycling Desk

Cartridge brass, the short way to the melt.

We sort your spent brass out of the steel and aluminum, weigh it on certified scales, deal with any live rounds, and melt it in our own Houston furnace. No broker between your range and the smelter. Buy outright or toll.

Range brass is never just brass

Steel and aluminum cases, stray projectiles and the occasional live round all land in the same bucket. We sort it before we price it — so your brass is paid as brass, not marked down to whatever’s mixed in.

The Short Line

No broker. No middle. One furnace.

Most brass buyers are a stop on the way to somebody else’s smelter. We are the smelter — your brass goes straight to our furnace in Houston. Fewer hands in the middle is exactly why we can pay more, or charge less.

01We own the furnace — range to melt, one company.
02No broker margin skimmed in between.
03Weighed on certified scales; you keep the tickets.
04Houston-based, trucks across the Gulf Coast.
02 / Settlement

Two ways to get paid

Option A — Buy

We buy it outright

One price, paid on our certified scale tickets. The brass is gone and the money’s in hand — the simplest way to clear a pile.

Best when you want the brass gone and the money now.
Option B — Toll

We toll it for you

You keep ownership. We sort, demil and process it for a fee, and you get the recovered metal or its value back.

Best on large, steady volumes where you’d rather hold the metal.
Not sure? We’ll price both and tell you which pays you more.
03 / Flow

Pickup to ingot

STEP 01

Pickup

We collect from your site — next-day on the Gulf Coast, nationwide by arrangement.

STEP 02

Sort & weigh

Brass, steel and aluminum separated and weighed on certified scales. You get the tickets.

STEP 03

Demil

Loose live rounds go through our popping furnace. Certificate of destruction issued.

STEP 04

Melt

Clean, sorted brass becomes feedstock — our furnace, or shipped to yours if you toll.

Live rounds in the bucket?

Normal — it happens on every range. Flag it on the form. Loaded and defective rounds are separated and run through our proprietary popping furnace before anything is melted, and you receive a certificate of destruction for them.

Two Business Days To A Number

Open a brass ticket.

Only your name and email are required. A photo of the pile or the buckets is the fastest way to a price — and we’ll quote buy and toll both.
