I recycle old aluminum gas grill housings, and i was thinking of creating a bucket full of the old brass controls from the grills i pick up to recycle too. Is it really worth it?

If you have enough, it will be worth it.

Brass is a very good value right now and solids are certainly worth recycling.

Brass is expensive. All metals has a recycle value.
