Would amenity=waste_transfer_station be an option? See
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dwaste_transfer_station
. Perhaps this makes more sense for scrapyards that make most of
their money from selling the iron used in cars.
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).
I too think of a 'waste transfer station' as something else. They don't
store stuff for long - moving it on fairly quickly. Say less than a week.
A 'junkard' would usually have things stored for quite some time. Save
over a year. They sell the individual parts to people who want those
parts for use rather than scrapping them. What ever parts that are not
wanted .. those go to the recyclers.
--------------------
A 'junkard' can be for cars, trucks, motorcycles, earth movers,
aeroplanes ... I think that needs to be specified.
They go by various names depending on where you are .. 'boneyeard',
'wreckers' ...
for example I'd tag them;
landuse=industrial
industrial=car_wreckers
shop=car_parts
car_parts:secondhand=ford;gmc
