In my hometown the "transfer station" is located at the landfill. Trucks carrying garbage arrive there and transfer their loads to the landfill. In any case, tagging those is not the point of this thread. It's the automotive salvage yard, or junkyard, that I was looking to tag. So, are we in reasonable agreement about the use of amenity=scrapyard for the main tag for these places? <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> This email has been sent from a virus-free computer protected by Avast. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DDB4FAA8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
