A wrecking yard, auto salvage yard or breakers yard, (sometimes also known as a junkyard), is the location of an auto dismantling business where wrecked or decommissioned
vehicles (most commonly
automobiles, but junkyards for
motorcycles,
bicycles, small
planes and
boats exist too) are brought, their usable parts are sold for use in operating vehicles, while the unusable metal parts, known as
scrap metal parts, are sold to metal-
recycling companies.
