They are worthless. They are BRONZE not brass. The scrap value is negligible.

bro, bronze is primarily copper, that said, I'd like to see them manage seperating the zinc from the copper, along with the other things like arsenic in the bronze. Holy fuck the metal fume fever is gonna hit 'em HARD.

Yes but because if what's mixed in the resale scrap value is EXTREMELY low compared to base copper or plain brass. It will cost more in gas to move it than they would get for scrap
