About Gerdau Ameristeel
The industrial steel and scrap site Gerdau Ameristeel runs in Bismarck, North Dakota, taking inbound material from sellers and contractors. The business provides a paid drop-off point for scrap metal that would otherwise sit unused, and acts as a turn-around point for local salvage volume. Accepted material categories are not recorded for this yard in the current directory entry, with the field left open. On the contact and schedule side, a phone line appears in the listing and day-to-day hours are recorded. The directory captures these two data points from the yard's own filing as part of its public-facing snapshot, and surfaces them as a working baseline for sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. On larger loads, calling ahead with approximate tonnage and material spec lets the yard quote a working per-ton price and book gate timing. The site can plan inbound capacity, and the contractor walks in with a number rather than waiting at the scale on the day of the drop-off and the drive over.
