What Items Are Made From Brass?

 

If you found yourself scratching your head trying to think of what common items are made from brass, you are not alone. Things made of brass are more common than you would think, and here are a few you may have forgotten about.

Brass In and Around the Home

• In many hanging light fixtures, especially older chandeliers, you will find they are made from brass.
• The highly forgotten bed frame is also commonly made from brass. Although it hides under your bed, it is made from a metal alloy that can be recycled if you decide you no longer need that frame.
• Knock, knock. Who’s there? It’s your doorknobs, hinges and door locks that might be made from brass.
• In your bathrooms you might find brass right under your nose. Faucets are frequently made from brass alloy as well.
• Underneath those faucets made from brass are also pipe valves and pipe fittings that may be made from brass alloy.

Recreational Places You Might Find Brass

• Perhaps one of the easiest ways to collect brass for recycling is to go to a shooting range and politely ask if you can collect the shells from shot off rounds.
