Concept information
Preferred term
junkyard
Definition
- The junkyard is an iconic symbol of waste in industrial life, and it is one of the more complex spaces devoted to post-consumer materials. Instead of simply being an end-stage sink for materials like a landfill, it offers the potential for returning materials to production through recycling.
