Brass Water Meters

Brass water meters are the most common and valuable type used in residential and commercial systems. They’re built with solid brass bodies, making them durable and corrosion-resistant.

When scrapped, their high brass content gives them strong resale value, especially when cleaned and free from steel bolts or plastic fittings.

Utilities and contractors often replace these meters during upgrades, creating steady supply for buyers who recover the metal for recycling. Clean, drained brass meters without attachments fetch the highest payout.

Mechanical & Brass Meters

Steel Water Meters

Steel water meters are built with heavier housings and components that make them strong but less valuable for scrap. They’re often used in larger commercial or industrial systems where durability matters more than metal value.

When selling for recycling, these meters are priced lower than brass ones because of their lower metal recovery value and higher contamination from coatings or mixed materials. Still, buyers accept them as part of mixed or bulk loads, especially when they’re sorted and drained.
