About Gerdau-South Boston
Gerdau-South Boston is a scrap metal recycling site working out of South Boston, Virginia in Halifax County. The business takes inbound scrap from individual sellers and small contractors, and acts as one of the paid drop-off options in the surrounding county and nearby towns. Information on which material types this site takes on a given day is not on file in the current directory snapshot. Day-to-day hours are recorded. A phone line and a website are on file, which together capture what the yard has filed with the directory about its inbound contact and posted schedule, and give sellers a working baseline for planning a visit before any drive over to the gate. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
