About
Start from nothing and build your own junkyard empire in a realistic first-person simulation of recycling, restoration, and business management.
In Junkyard Builder, you take over a run-down scrapyard and turn it into a thriving industrial operation. Search for valuable items, process materials, restore forgotten treasures, and grow your business step by step. Every piece of junk has potential — if you know how to use it.
Your journey begins with a small, neglected yard and limited tools. Explore, collect, and process scrap to generate income, then reinvest your earnings into better equipment and upgrades.
Turn worthless junk into valuable resources and build a self-sustaining business driven by smart decisions and efficient workflows.
Leave your yard and venture into diverse locations filled with abandoned items and hidden opportunities. Each trip can reward you with:
Old vehicles waiting to be salvaged
Furniture ready for restoration
Hidden valuables like cash, rare items, or precious materials
Every expedition is a gamble — will you strike gold or come back empty-handed?
Processing scrap is at the heart of your operation. Sort materials, use specialized machines, and optimize your production chain to maximize profits.
As you progress, unlock advanced equipment and automation systems that will transform your scrapyard into an efficient industrial powerhouse.
Not everything belongs in the crusher. Many items can be repaired, upgraded, and sold for a higher price.
Bring damaged objects back to life — from rusty cars to worn-out furniture — and turn them into valuable products that boost your income.
Take risks by investing in mysterious containers and unknown shipments. Inside, you might find:
Rare and valuable items
Unique resources
Or completely useless junk
It’s a system that adds unpredictability and excitement to your progression.
Operate a variety of heavy machinery and tools, including:
Cranes
Car crushers
Recycling and processing machines
Each device plays a key role in your workflow and requires proper use to maximize efficiency.
Expand your scrapyard and grow your business:
Unlock new zones and working areas
Purchase and upgrade machines
Improve your skills and efficiency
Automate key processes
What starts as a small operation can evolve into a large-scale, fully optimized recycling empire.

Lots to do job wise. However, the physics of the game are very frustrating, with objects exploding all over the place if they touch. It would be nice if this could be changed as well as the sliding when visiting the woods section. It is early days so I'm sure any problems will be ironed out, it is still an addictive game to play especially if you like to work to get all the upgrades in a game.
I love the game so far but I would like it if it had a bale storage place. such as a bale shed/warehouse. A way to implement upgrades could be by capacity e.g. starting at 100 then going to 250, then 500 etc. It could max out at 1000.
Gra sprzedaje śmieci kupuje śmieci myje kupuje wbijam lvl fajna gierka polecam
Liked it, fun game, sorting trash.
Niby wersja 1.2 ale na tym jak dziala ta gra, to bardzo wczesna beta.... grywalna ale ogolnie gowno, ciezko cos wiecej napisac, zaczynajac od pracownikow ktorzy nie pracuja, no moze ze jestes na bazie ale siedzac na bazie to nawet na nich sie nie zarobi, ale jak wyjdziesz z bazy pracownicy stoja w miejscu, wracajac na baze sa w tym samym miejscu co jak wyjezdzales z bazy, jeszcze wczoraj jak gralem wczoraj, to sie w ogole jak wyjezdzales z bazy to pracownicy po powrocie zaczynali ze swojego spawna, ale przynajmniej po koncu dnia pracowali caly czas jak byles na tej bazie teraz jak konczy sie dzien o 22 to pracownicy poprostu wychodza, patrzac na czym polega gra, pracownicy sa bez uzyteczni na obecny moment, o tym ze sa tylko 3 lokalizacje w ktorych mozna zbierac smieci no to nie wyglada jak pelna wersja gry w 2026 roku... ogolnie nie polecam...
НЕ погана рутина, а головне українська локалізація

Ein gutes Spiel um seine Sammel-Leidenschaft auszuleben. Langzeit-Spass ist es aber nicht. Irgendwann wird es extrem grindy. Für 10-15 Stunden ganz okay. A good game for indulging your passion for collecting. However, it doesn't offer long-term appeal; at some point, it becomes extremely grindy. It's perfectly fine for 10–15 hours.
It is a slow relaxing game
Bien passe le temp
