Junk man
open-in-new
<p>Junk man is the (largely American) term for a person who buys, trades, or collects disparate items (<a href="/facts/Scrap/lPWqt9vd">scrap</a> and usable or repairable things) considered of little or no value to their owners. This person then tries to sell or trade these items at a profit to other individuals and scrap yards. </p>
