Salvage yards collect, sort, process, and ship materials ranging from scrap steel and other metals to paper and plastics. Larger facilities may receive materials by truck and ship processed scrap by rail, creating opportunities for switching loaded and empty freight cars. Washington Salvage Yard provides the main headquarters and work building for this type of operation and can be surrounded with scrap piles, processing equipment, vehicles, and additional yard details to create a much larger industrial scene.
