When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion

Zazwyczaj złom odnosi się do scrap metal (niepotrzebne, zużyte przedmioty metalowe, pojazdy, maszyny lub odpady poprodukcyjne zbierane jako surowiec wtórny). Junk może być meblem.

A może złomiarka? ciężarówka na złom?

W mojej okolicy działa jakaś firma, która przyjeżdża raz na tydzień (w poniedziałek wieczorem) i zbiera tzw. gabaryty: meble, lodówki, telewizory, okna, drzwi itp. Administracja osiedla informuje i przypomina o tych wizytach, więc wiadomo, kiedy wystawiać graty przed budynek.

Samochód: zwyczajna ciężarówka (w polskim znaczeniu, nie amerykański truck).

So, the body may be dented, the fenders bent, the windshield chipped, the tires bald, the muffler rusty, and the bumpers missing, but then none us are perfect either. Still, we all try to fire on all the cylinders we've still got, until we blow the head gasket or throw the rod and go the junkyard in the skies.

Similar here with one exception, they don't drive trucks. They push wheeled carts or any other wheeled vehicle, and dig through the trash picking up whatever they like.
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Jun 24, 2019:
In my neighborhood, on the garbage day, before the municipal garbage trucks arrive, there are enterprising people who drive around in pick-up trucks looking for discarded objects that they can resell. They are freelancers in competition with one another. Usually, they pick up metal objects which they then take to an iron scrap yard. Rarely, they will find aluminum or copper, which bring most money, of course. This is the US reality. These are the junk trucks.
Andrzej Mierzejewski Jun 24, 2019:
W mojej okolicy przyjeżdża zwyczajny samochód ciężarowy z zabudową skrzyniową albo zamkniętą. Bez zgniatacza odpadów itp. - wystarcza na meble, lodówki, pralki itp.

Śmieciarka to już inna bajka, np. http://www.mwmbrzesko.com/files/products/sk-5zdj2_b.jpg .
mike23 Jun 24, 2019:
Śmieciarka/Ciężarówka na odpady wielkogabarytowe. Tak to się chyba nazywa w Polsce. Ale śmieciara na stare graty brzmi dużo ładniej :)
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Jun 24, 2019:
Też tak uważam.
Andrzej Mierzejewski Jun 24, 2019:
Zdaje się, że chodzi o coś z tej bajki: https://www.junk-king.com/images/junk-removal-residential-tr... .

Czy to jest "truck type"? IMO raczej tylko zastosowanie samochodu do zadania.

wywóz gratów

Można przetłumaczyć jako "kontener na śmieci". Problem w tym, że jako "junk truck" można też wykorzystać furgonetkę bądź samochód typu pickup. W polskich internetach funkcjonuje neutralny pod tym względem "wywóz gratów".
