The only "waste transfer stations" I am aware of in my area are
companies that empty garbage from huge "dumpster" garbage bins at
apartment complexes and businesses, then ship the garbage to
landfills. Unlike a scrapyard, there is no long-term storage
involved.<br>

<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>
