A “boneyard,” or a scrap yard containing now-defunct vehicles and equipment, could be extra cash you are sitting on. Each boneyard is different: you never know what you’re going to find when rifling through it. Many sites include parts stripped from the original equipment that may be useful, to scrap metal that needs recycling.
Boneyards in the business context also sometimes refer to storage rooms for functionally obsolete computers, printers, and other business hardware. Companies often hold onto items if they don’t have facilities to dispose of them. This does not have to be the case!
Why Large Site Boneyards Are Tricky
As you probably know already, managing and cleaning up large site boneyards is tricky. Unlike scrapyards, they present unique challenges that you often don’t find on conventional sites.
Boneyards often contain hazardous unused equipment. Machinery might contain dangerous chemicals or heavy metals that could cause harm to workers or the ground. It could be challenging to organize and categorize. You don’t always know where to keep everything, as there may be environmental concerns. Rusting metal and vast expanses of junk don’t always support ecosystems or protect the planet. If it contains chemicals that could seep into the soil, you risk further damage to the property.
