i get like 80 cents for dirty brass at my yard , the steel braided hoses on my fire extinguishers have brass fittings(nearly impossible to get off) so i just clip them with a chopsaw leaves the hose inside the fitting, i rarely question prices at the yard but i think i would ask the yard manager to check it out instead of the guys that unload, i get 11 for shred just seems really low
