scrap

ok, so i was unsure what would be the most appropriate translation for the following context:
scrap
scrap yard
i mean construction scrap like lead and copper etc
for example:
im gonna take the scrap to the scrap yard
заранее сенкю :)

Maybe мусор :roll:

Are you talking about broken metallic stuff or something like that? That's "металлолом" (металл + лом (->ломать)).

:wink:

scrap - мусор, лом(металлолом) - scrap metal
scrap yard - свалка, мусорная яма, помойка

ok, i think ill go with металлолом.
just for the record tho, im helping my uncle rennovate a house. all the lead that comes from the roof and copper from the pipes etc can be taken to a scrap yard where they weigh the scrap and then pay you for it.
would металлолом still fit this context??

Perfectly. Actually it's "Пункт приёма металлолома" or "пункт приёма металла".

excellent, thanks!
