About Guidry Iron Works
Scrap intake in Lafayette, Louisiana runs through outfits like Guidry Iron Works, which handles industrial steel and scrap work. The business takes in material from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid drop-off point for inbound scrap metal volume. Material types accepted on the inbound side include aluminum, brass, copper, and lead. The categories on file represent what the yard told our directory it routinely takes in from walk-in sellers and small contractors, which gives a working sense of how a load might fit the standard intake mix. Posted hours are available for visitors to check, and a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. These come straight from the yard's filing with the directory and represent the inbound-facing snapshot of how the site handles contact and posted hours, surfaced as a working baseline for planning a visit. Demolition crews and contractors with structural steel should phone the yard to schedule drop-off and confirm the day's per-ton scrap rate. Walking through approximate tonnage and material spec on the call books gate timing and a quoted intake price together, which keeps the drop-off on a known timeline at the gate.
