Non-Ferrous Metals We Buy by Grade

Sunwest Metals purchases a full range of non-ferrous metals and pays competitively based on current market pricing for each grade. Non-ferrous scrap typically commands higher per-pound returns than ferrous material, making accurate grade identification valuable for sellers.

Grades and materials commonly accepted include:

▸ Copper: Bare bright, No. 1 copper, No. 2 copper, and copper-bearing materials such as motors and transformers.

▸ Aluminum: Extruded and cast aluminum, aluminum cans, sheet aluminum, and AL wire by grade.

▸ Brass: Yellow brass, red brass, and mixed brass from plumbing, fixtures, and industrial fittings.

▸ Stainless Steel: 304 and 316 stainless, turnings, and solids accepted by grade.

▸ Lead and Zinc: Wheel weights, lead batteries, and zinc die cast accepted subject to current market conditions.

Industrial metal recycling clients selling in volume can request grade-by-grade settlement sheets for internal reporting. For current pricing on specific non-ferrous grades, call (800) 607-2727 or visit Sunwest Metals Inc. at 1150 N. Anaheim Blvd., Anaheim, CA, 92801.
