What is a "junkyard"?
A junkyard is a place where old, broken, or unwanted vehicles and other items are stored, often for recycling or parts. It is a site where items that are no longer in working condition are collected and either dismantled for parts or sold for scrap metal. Junkyards are commonly filled with discarded cars, machinery, and other materials that are no longer useful, and they play a role in helping to reuse valuable components or materials from old objects.
Example
The old car was taken to the junkyard after it broke down and could n't be repaired.
Local children loved to explore the abandoned junkyard, imagining themselves as adventurers in a post-apocalyptic world.
