Junk Automobiles

Junked and abandoned vehicles in residential neighborhoods, illegal dumping areas and public property is a common problem for local governments, creating health and safety hazards as well as decreasing community aesthetics.  Disposing of these vehicles can prove to be costly and time consuming.  Additionally, processing the vehicles for recycling requires dedication and perseverance, but is a great example of the innovation local governments can use to reduce the waste stream heading to landfills and conserve valuable resources.
