The tag describes land occupied by auto wreckers. An auto wrecker is an area set aside for the long-term disposal or recycling of wrecked vehicles. In the USA, one is also called a junkyard, junk yard or salvage yard. Also known as a scrapyard in British English.
These places sometimes offer the opportunity to buy parts from the junked cars.
Note: For scrap yards, places where steel scrap is sorted and processed, use industrial=scrap_yard! Those two tags are not synonymous.
How to map
Draw an area around the grounds of the vehicle recycling or place a node at the centre of the grounds.
