** And Morph Moth's in ''VideoGame/{{Mega Man X}}2''.
** As well as Metal Shark Player's in Mega Man X6, though [[ThatOneLevel most would probably want to forget that one]].

* The main setting of the 1960s children's novel and later 1980s TV series ''Stig of the Dump''.
* Billy ends up in one in ''Literature/OlliesOdyssey'' where he finds a whole bunch of thrown out objects who just sit around reminiscing about when they were useful. Billy raises their spirits and makes them a resrue team to help him save Ollie.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': The Gangreen Gang live in a shed located in Townsville's junkyard. In the episode, "Buttercrush", they trick Blossom and Bubbles into going there in order to trap them in crushed car cubes and dispose of them in a lava pit.

* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': DependingOnTheArtist, the EVA dumping ground.
* Rena's hiding place in ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' is an old van in a junkyard.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' LicensedGame for the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]], the second act of the fourth world takes place in a junkyard. Enemies include cats that throw tin cans, and Rhubella Rat, who jumps from behind the fence. There are also barrels in that hurt you if you stand on them.

* The Dust Zone in ''Anime/DigimonXrosWars''. It's also a ScavengerWorld.

Expect towering columns of crushed cars and neat piles of assorted garbage, perfect for hiding behind; a giant magnet or claw that can be easily operated by someone without training; a ConveyorBeltODoom leading into a crushing machine or incinerator; at least one [[AngryGuardDog junkyard dog]]; plenty of TrashTalk; and [[RealIsBrown brown]].

* The ''TabletopGame/DiscworldRolePlayingGame'' scenario "Full Court Press" has a scene set in a rubbish dump (Municipal Tip no. 5 in the first edition; {{Retcon}}ned to be Harry King's recycling yard in the second edition, after that was established in the books), where one of the {{Plot Coupon}}s has been, well, dumped.

* The go-to location for both the Mondo TV and webseries of ''Toys/TheTrashPack'' is Trash Town, a large dump.

* [[TyrannosaurusRex Tina]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' apparently lives inside one of these.

* Widget Hackwrench of ''Fanfic/TheNowakverse'' spent most of [[DarkAndTroubledPast her youth]] living in a junkyard.

* Pretty much all of Richard Lester's post-apocalyptic black comedy ''The Bed-Sitting Room'' is filmed in real-life junk pile locations.
