What are junk cars?

Junk cars are vehicles that are no longer operational, safe, or worth repairing due to age, extensive damage, or mechanical failure. Often referred to as 'end-of-life vehicles,' they typically have little to no resale value except for their parts or scrap metal. Many people sell junk cars to salvage yards or recycling centers where they are dismantled and recycled in an environmentally responsible way.
