DescriptionUnited Salvage Pool junkyard on South Broadway Boulevard in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Numerous vehicles with their tires gone resting on blocks can be seen throughout the yard. Other vehicle parts lay strewn around on the dirt floor of the lot. A large white sign can be seen sticking above one of the partially deconstructed cars which reads "United Salvage Pool. We Buy Wrecked Cars. Junk Cars. Salvage. Auto & Truck Parts. Division of United Auto...". A large chain link fence with barbed wire at the top blocks the entrance to the junkyard. The gate to the fence has a sign on it which reads " Please don't block the gate" and "Hazardous Test Area. Do Not Enter".On View
