Stunning Photos of a Scrapyard in Emeryville, California in the Early 1970s

California Scrapyard 1970s 1

A scrapyard, or junkyard, is a place where decommissioned or wrecked vehicles are dismantled, with usable parts sold for repairs and scrap metal sent to recycling companies.

These facilities are also known as wreck yards, salvage yards, and breaker’s yards; in the UK, they’re called car or bike breakers, while in Australia, they’re often referred to as “Wreckers.” Photographer Nick DeWolf captured the essence of such a site in his 1971 photos of a scrapyard in Emeryville, California.
