<div>Would amenity=waste_transfer_station be an option?
See <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dwaste_transfer_station">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dwaste_transfer_station</a>
. Perhaps this makes more sense for scrapyards that make
most of their money from selling the iron used in cars.<br>

I'd have thought that a "waste transfer station" was something
else? Scrapyards round here tend to major not so much in selling
iron but in car parts (though obviously that'll vary with
commodity prices and local area). I think I've seen at least one
"waste transfer station" somewhere in the county though what
that's tagged as I wouldn't like to say. It didn't look very
scrapyardish (though I can see how there might be overlap of edge
cases).<br>

I too think of a 'waste transfer station' as something else. They
don't store stuff for long - moving it on fairly quickly. Say less
than a week. <br>
<br>
A 'junkard' would usually have things stored for quite some time.
Save over a year. They sell the individual parts to people who want
those parts for use rather than scrapping them. What ever parts that
are not wanted .. those go to the recyclers. <br>
<br>
--------------------<br>
A 'junkard' can be for cars, trucks, motorcycles, earth movers,
aeroplanes ... I think that needs to be specified. <br>
<br>
They go by various names depending on where you are .. 'boneyeard',
'wreckers' ... <br>
<br>
for example I'd tag them;<br>
landuse=industrial<br>
industrial=car_wreckers<br>
shop=car_parts<br>
car_parts:secondhand=ford;gmc <br>
