About New Orleans Steel
Working in New Orleans, Louisiana, New Orleans Steel is an industrial steel and scrap site listed in our directory. Listings like this help sellers find a paid drop-off point for scrap material rather than ringing around half a dozen places to find one that takes their volume. The yard has not filed an accepted-materials list with the directory at this time, leaving the intake set unspecified. Per public records, hours of operation aren't recorded and a phone line and a website are on file. The directory carries these as the yard's own self-reported snapshot of its inbound schedule and contact mix, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. On heavier ferrous loads, a rough weight in pounds or tons matters for the quote — sellers should bring a working estimate so the yard can price the inbound and book gate timing accordingly. A short call ahead of the drive sorts both items out before any wheels turn.
