About Bison Iron and Step
Bison Iron and Step handles industrial steel and scrap out of Buffalo, New York, drawing material from sellers across the surrounding county. The site processes inbound scrap from walk-in sellers, contractors, and salvage haulers who need to turn metal into cash rather than haul it home. Posted intake categories include aluminum, brass, copper, and lead. The list is what the yard filed with the directory as its standard inbound mix, which sellers can plan a load around when sorting at home before any drive over to the gate. Practical details: posted hours are available for visitors to check, and a phone line and an email contact appear in the listing. Both data points are pulled from the yard's filing with the directory and reflect the public-facing snapshot of the inbound flow, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. 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.
