scrap yards
Metal salvage lots
Scrap yards are facilities where discarded metal, vehicles, and machinery are collected, processed, and sold for recycling or reuse.
Old cars are crushed, appliances stripped, and metal sorted by type.
The term applies to both the business and the physical location: We hauled the old refrigerator to the scrap yard.
Also written as one word: scrapyard.
