Step One: Collect Your Brass

Most gun ranges require you to clean up or sweep your own brass.  You have two choices.  When you pick up your used brass you can dump it in the collection bucket at the range, or you can take it home with you.  Why not recycle it for some money.  

If you shoot at an outdoor range the process of collecting your brass is not as simple.  It is still a good idea because collecting your brass from the grass helps save the environment.  

There’s no sense in leaving that money on the ground or throwing it away when we’ve made it so easy to sell brass to Brass Buyers.  We recommend starting a bucket in your garage and selling it to us once you have collected a good amount.

Step Two: Sell Your Brass To Brass Buyers

To sell us your fired brass click on the shop link and enter the brass weight in the quantity.  The website will calculate the estimated value of the brass before shipping cost.  The value is just an estimation and may change when we receive and process your brass.

Decide how you want to ship it.  You can print a prepaid shipping label through Brass Buyers.  We only provide a prepaid label for USPS large flat rate boxes.  The prepaid shipping amount will be deducted from the amount you receive.  You can also ship the brass yourself.  

Submit your order.  Print out the order sheet and place it in the box with the brass. 

We do not require you to sort, wash or process your brass.  Steel and aluminum cases are not recyclable and will not be included in the final weight.  We highly recommend placing the cases in a plastic bag inside the box and using a generous amount of tape to seal the box, especially the corners.  We are not responsible for any damage or loss that might occur during shipping. Thoroughly taping the box will help it withstand any rough handling.

Ammo Collection Difficulty

Certain types of ammo are easier to collect than others.

Here are a few tips to help you out.

Revolver Brass

is the easiest to collect because it doesn’t leave the cylinder until you eject it manually.

Semi-Auto Pistol Brass

needs to be collected from the floor/ground. In this case you must use a broom and dustpan.

Bolt-Action Rifle Brass

is relatively simple to collect because you eject once piece at a time. No need to sweep if you catch each piece before it hits the ground.

Semi-Auto Rifle Brass

is easy to catch with a simple brass catcher. This is a mesh bag that attaches to the ejection port and catches the brass as it leaves the rifle.
