A junkyard, also known as a salvage yard or scrapyard, is a place where old, damaged, or unwanted vehicles are collected. These locations often buy cars that are no longer functional and dismantle them for parts. The parts can then be reused or sold, helping to reduce waste and promote recycling in the automotive industry. In addition to vehicles, junkyards may also contain various metal scraps and other materials. Many people visit junkyards to find affordable replacement parts for their cars or to sell scrap metal. This practice supports environmental sustainability by repurposing materials that would otherwise end up in landfills.
