Junk and Abandoned Vehicles

Our new article relating to the this great business of being a junk car hauler aka “fast cash for cars” company, or scrap car hauler, takes us to S. Dakota. The town of Belle Fourche, which literally means “beautiful fork” in French is a town of approximately 5000 people and is one of few areas of the country that are actually colder then Northeast Ohio this time of year. On November 13, 2014 an article was posted in The Black Hills Pioneer by Jodi Black that included the following highlights: “City Council member Greg Raisanen was named in a nuisance ordinance violation Belle Fourche Council meeting. Six junk or abandoned vehicles were included in the violation: three of the motor vehicles belong to councilman, Greg Raisanen.

When code enforcement officers notice a nuisance motor vehicle in Belle Fourche, a written notice is served to the owner, notifying them of the existence of nuisance ordinance violation, requiring its removal within 15 days. A nuisance vehicle is declared as something that is not registered and can’t move 75 feet with its own power, or something that is dismantled. On Sept. 25, letters were sent out to the owners of these vehicles. Mr. Raisanen signed the letter on Oct. 6, which signifies that the owners have received the violation; He said that their nephew, who runs an auto repair shop where two of the vehicles are located, indicated he didn’t know what they were doing with the vehicles. Mrs. Stacey Raisanen said that the vehicles are now registered and they are making arrangements to haul them out. City council members moved to table action on the potential abatement to the next city council meeting. Councilmembers gave no reason why they were tabling the action, but Stacey Raisanen mentioned that it was because she and Greg were making efforts to get the vehicles licensed.” The full article is available here: http://www.bhpioneer.com/local_news/article_df8d6992-6b54-11e4-bc46-9f0fcb5a6a61.html

Well, it is not a overly exciting story, but it is humorous that the councilman would be present at a meeting where he was named as a nuisance violator! Why did he not call a scrap car hauler? Perhaps there are no junk car haulers in SD? He could have avoided the embarrassment and possibly have gotten some fast cash for cars in the process. Obviously, this an extremely petty issue as it relates to the councilman, but if you look at the problem of vehicle abandonment across the US it adds up to many junk vehicles, scrap cars and old clunkers sitting around. The solution for dealing with these is to remove the cars via a professional scrap car hauler or junk car hauler or buyer–so these vehicles can be recycled and reincarnated into something useful.
