Abandoned Car Removal

Junk car removal is always an expense for cities and municipalities to deal with. For whatever reason, many owners of junk cars and scrap cars choose to abandon their vehicles rather than to sell a junk car or try to scrap a car for cash. In an October 28, 2014 article in the Times Herald entitled ‘Detroit police to tow abandoned vehicles’ the following information: “Police will begin towing abandoned vehicles heading into the 3 day Halloween period known as Angels’ Night. Officials also will give updates on the city’s annual anti-arson campaign that includes neighborhood patrols beginning Thursday by volunteers. Vacant houses, buildings, garages & cars left on streets have been targeted by arsonists in past years. Water department crews & firefighters began inspecting & repairing hydrants last week to make sure they are working. More than 800 fires were reported over that time in 1984; last year, 95 were reported.” The full story can be seen here: http://www.thetimesherald.com/story/news/local/michigan/2014/10/28/detroit-police-tow-abandoned-vehicles/18043913/

When I ask myself how to handle a disabled vehicle, setting it ablaze has never come to mind as a viable option. Seriously, is setting things on fire really that entertaining? On November 1, 2014 www.mlive.com reported “City officials reported this week that over 3,500 signed up for active street patrols this year to prevent arsons. The Detroit Fire Department certainly appreciates the help. Officials estimate that this city has up to 80,000 abandoned structures — 40,000 residential.” This story was authored by Eric Lacy, who is covering the status of this situation.

Abandoned car removal is a critical service for any community for several reasons:

• Junk vehicles are unsightly and greatly reduce the neighborhood’s curb appeal.
• Scrap cars tend to leak fluids, which are hazardous and can end up in the water supply.
• Abandoned vehicles are frequently vandalized with broken glass that can flatten tires.
• Expenses are incurred in removal and storage of these vehicles.
