I thought scrapyards and junkyards were two different entities. This is how I think of them. Scrapyards are places whose primary purpose is to buy items that are no longer wanted (typically metal objects) and then sell them for the value of their raw materials. Junkyards are places whose primary purpose is to sell intact vehicle parts from wrecks to people who are repairing a vehicle. Definitely not the same thing. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
