scrap yard
Where cars die
A scrap yard is a place where discarded metal, old vehicles, and other salvageable materials are collected, stored, and processed for recycling or resale.
Cars are crushed, appliances stripped, and metals sorted for melting down.
Also called a junkyard, though scrap yard emphasizes the recycling aspect: We sold the old truck to a scrap yard for parts.
