Recycling in Minot: A Local Guide
Minot, the fourth-largest city in North Dakota and seat of Ward County, has four recycling-related facilities listed within the city. The two most useful for residents selling or dropping off scrap metal are Continental Metal Products (also known as CF&I Recycling, formerly EVRAZ Recycling) at 3101 Valley St and Gerdau Metals Recycling and New Steel Sales at 5801 US Highway 2 East. Both are walk-in scrap buyers open Monday through Friday, accepting ferrous and non-ferrous metals, copper, aluminum, brass, automotive scrap, and electronics at certified scale weights with same-day payment. Gerdau also sells new structural steel.
Evraz Recycling at 3101 Valley St is the same physical yard as Continental Metal Products — EVRAZ divested its North American scrap operations, and that site continues under the CF&I / Continental Metal Products name. WM (Waste Management) at 1725 12th Ave SW is a commercial hauler offering scheduled curbside recycling pickup and roll-off dumpster rentals under contract — it does not accept public walk-in drop-offs.
For household recyclables, electronics, yard waste, and hazardous waste, Minot residents should use the City of Minot Landfill at 4450 37th Ave SW, operated by the city's Solid Waste Management Division (701-857-4140). Fall/winter hours (October 12–April 10) are Monday–Saturday 8 AM–4 PM; summer hours (April 13–October 10) run until 5:30 PM. Household hazardous waste drop-off is free for city sanitation customers year-round. In September 2025, Minot's city council ended its mandatory curbside recycling program, so contact the Solid Waste Division for the latest residential options.
Other North Dakota cities with scrap-metal and recycling resources include Bismarck, Williston, Fargo, and Jamestown, all of which have public drop-off options and scrap buyers.
