scrapyards
Metal recycling lots
Scrapyards are places where discarded metal, vehicles, and machinery are collected for recycling or salvage.
Old cars get crushed, appliances stripped for parts, and metals sorted for resale.
The term evokes industrial landscapes of rusted heaps and heavy equipment: We found a replacement fender at the scrapyard.
Also called junkyards or salvage yards.
