junk yards
Auto carcass depots
Junk yards are places where discarded vehicles, machinery, and scrap materials accumulate for salvage or resale.
People visit junk yards to find cheap replacement parts: I found a carburetor at the junk yard for twenty bucks.
The term extends to any cluttered collection of abandoned items: His garage looks like a junk yard.
Also spelled as one word: junkyard.
