The junkyard is where you can destroy ships that are at a colony, or dispose of resources that you do not want.
Navigate to a colony's fleet managment page. Under the list of available, ungrouped ships there is a link to the junkyard ">> ship junkyard". Click it and it will take you to the junkyard page. Then select whichever ships you would like to destroy.
The junkyard is the final resting place for unwanted ships of any kind, be they obsolete, too badly damaged to repair, or just because you feel like it.
When a ship (or ships) are sent to the junkyard, you are credited with a portion of the original construction cost and mineral content.
The junkyard is also used as a dumping ground for unwanted or overstocked resources. To dump resources, first click on your colony's local trade link. Above the list of colonies will be a link to the junkyard. Click on it, and you will be prompted to enter which resources you would like to trash.
Your colony has limited storage, so if you fill it up with food, as many new players do, you will stop producing other resources. The alternative is to buy more storage, but that is not always cost effective.
Note that you do not get any credits for destroying resources.
