I am a handyman by trade and I get some of the brass through the changing of faucets and other work. The most common way I get brass is to buy it at garage sales. I buy it at prices I believe is < than 1/3 the price of brass. It just builds up and I usually accumulate a pile 30#+. I can usually build up a pile like that over the course of a couple months.
