Finnish term or phrase: purkuhalli
A metalworking plant has an area called the "purkuhalli":

"Konvertterin tullessa korjaukseen kartio irrotetaan konvertterista urakoitsijan toimesta purkuhallissa ja muuraus poistetaan."

Does anyone know the term for this in English?

I've searched for "discharge hall", "dismantling hall" and various other possibilities, but none of them has been an obviously correct match.

Thanks

(indoor) scrapping facility


Explanation:
Although it may not exactly be a question of recycling in your case, maybe (indoor) scrapping facility would do the trick for you - on the semantic pattern of the English scrapyard and wrecking yard? My two cents' worth...

Example sentence(s):
  • A scrapyard is a place where old machines such as cars or ships are destroyed and where useful parts are saved.
