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.

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).
Cheers,
Andy
