About Gerdau
Scrap and salvage activity in Buffalo, New York runs through a handful of intake points, and Gerdau is one of them. The site works in the scrap metal recycling space and takes inbound material from local sellers, contractors, and people clearing out a property. Inbound material categories are not on file for this listing in our directory, and no specific intake set has been recorded. On the directory side, a phone line, a website, and an email contact appear in the listing. Day-to-day hours are recorded, which together represent the yard's published-facing contact and schedule mix as filed with us, and give sellers a working sense of how to reach the site before driving over with a load. Sorting at the gate moves faster when materials are pre-separated at home — ferrous in one bin, copper in another, aluminum kept clean. The yard can post the load through faster, and sellers tend to land a cleaner intake price on each category. Pre-sorted loads also avoid the wait that comes when staff have to break a mixed bin apart on site before grading and weighing the material.
