English term or phrase: Knackers'yard

No doubt XXXX would also embrace the virtues of the 'global warming' orthodoxy elite who zoom from each scripted press conference in their air-conditioned luxury jets while preaching that Americans must take their SUV's to the knacker's yard.

Qualcuno ha un'idea per cercare di non perdere completamente l'espressione rendendola tuttavia più comprensibile?
Grazie
