In my hometown the "transfer station" is located at the landfill. Trucks carrying garbage arrive there and transfer their loads to the landfill.

The only "waste transfer stations" I am aware of in my area are companies that empty garbage from huge "dumpster" garbage bins at apartment complexes and businesses, then ship the garbage to landfills. Unlike a scrapyard, there is no long-term storage involved. On 01/20/2016 11:31 AM, Andy To

A waste transfer station is a different operation from this one, which is a place to store used parts for the long-term until someone buys them.

taginfo suggests "amenity=scrapyard" actually (60, as opposed to 20 industrial=scrap_yard). I like that one. I must have missed it on my brief gander at Taginfo :-0 How then to add tags for the "stuff" stored there - cars, metals, building materials, etc. ? scrap=cars scrap=metal ??

I'm trying to decide how to tag what we in the U.S. refer to as junkyards. Mostly these are where old automobiles go when they are discarded and are a source of used parts. They are therefore an amenity of considerable value, at least to some people. In other countries they might be called scrapyar
