scrap yards

Scrap yards are facilities where used or discarded materials, primarily metals like steel, aluminum, and copper, are collected, sorted, and processed. They serve as hubs for recycling, where valuable metals are extracted from old appliances, vehicles, and industrial equipment. These materials are then cleaned and prepared for manufacturing new products, reducing the need for mining and conserving natural resources. Scrap yards play a vital role in sustainable waste management and the circular economy, providing economic value by selling the recycled metals to manufacturers around the world.
