In our city, you have to hand over a signed title to any vehicle you want to dump at the local landfill, otherwise they will not accept it and will turn you away. The problem with this is that all too often the "owner" actually does not have a title...someone just gave him the junker for parts, which after he strips it down he no longer wants. Seeing that the landfill will not accept the junker, then what comes next is no big surprise: the car gets abandoned along any remote country road, or even worse...on someones remote property, for others to worry about. And where it often sets for months and months...while county officials do the proper paperwork to get rid of it. I've seen abandoned cars set for well over a year. If you own remote property, and a junker gets dumped on it, your pretty much stuck with it for awhile: landfill won't accept it..."no title"....
Is the law the same in your hometown? Just wondering, because it's making our "highways and biways" uglier...
Not sure, but I would imagine they believe the car is stolen if you don't have a title for it.
I remember when I was a kid riding my bike on a back country road in Shelby Co. Indiana, I saw an old 68-72 Chevy Nova shell, stripped of everything but the trunk kid, that was dumped off the side of the road and pushed down an embankment until it hit some trees and stopped. I always wondered who would do that and why. Might have been a stolen car someone stripped, who knows?
Here you must have the title or do a title search to scrape the vehicle.No title its a pretty long process or no scrape yard will touch it.Too many chop shops were getting rid of them that way.
Here there are dozens of guys who advertise to come and get your junkers,titles or no titles. The metal yard buys them after they remove the fuel tank. The guys will pay up to 200 bucks for you jumker.
Here in CA you need a title to sell it to the wrecking yards.
OR, you can take it to the scrapper for steel even without title.
We had so many cars on the side of the roads that the CHP allows you to call up and have junk picked up free.
I know MI will scrap a vehicle that is taken in cut into pieces without a title. If it comes in whole, it better have a title or no scraping.
