# How do I turn the Junk Yard on or off on this Mac?

Use the **Enable Junk Yard on this Mac** switch at the top of **Settings → Junk Yard**. When it's off, the clipboard board, its shortcuts and the edge curtain all stay out of the way.

Occasionally the switch notes that the Junk Yard has been turned on or off for everyone by Storage Studio itself; in that case the note explains why the switch can't change it.
