They are apparently having problems with auto related scrap being abandoned in rural areas.

On August 11, 2015 an article on anewscafe.com composed by R.V. Scheide titled ‘From Country Road to Wrecking Yard: Illegal Dumpers Trash Shasta County’ with the following details: “They came in the middle of the night, making one hell of a racket. When Ernie Pasero investigated the noise the next morning, he discovered the dented, rusting husks of (3) automobiles, abandoned less than a ¼ mile from his house in eastern Shasta County. They came again the next night–this time he went out to investigate. Through the darkness he saw a white dually and several figures working around it. In the morning, six more relics had been added to the collection, making for a total of nine vehicles. After the vehicles had been abandoned, Pasero and his wife called the Shasta County Sheriff’s vehicle abatement division and got an answering machine instructing them to leave their information. They never received a call back, nor did any deputies come out to investigate the scene.

The CHP did come out to investigate. One of the abandoned vehicles, the cab of a small pickup minus the engine, wheels and bed, had been left right in the middle of the road. The CHP officers moved it, and took down vehicle identification numbers and any other information that might lead back to the owners of the defunct automobiles. So far, the CHP hasn’t returned to the scene. Shasta County’s vehicle abatement program is a one-man show, and the one man has been shifted to jail duty. The Redding Police Department’s vehicle abatement program is similarly a one-man show. Folks who illegally dump standard household waste comprise the majority of his caseload; he estimates he completes 30 cases each month, and about 350 cases during any given year.

No one is quite certain how much waste is out there, hidden in the nooks and crannies of the county’s 3847 square miles. Choose a given country road or path, and the chances are good you’ll eventually run into an abandoned couch, refrigerator or washing machine. Construction debris, including sinks, toilets, carpet and tile are common finds. Citizens of Shingletown recently took matters into their own hands. With help from the county, including dump fee waivers, 20 volunteers cleared the waste and vehicles from several abandoned transient encampments. Who Shasta County’s rural residents should call in such situations remains somewhat unclear. I’ve put in several phone calls to the Sheriff’s Department and have yet to have a message returned.

Hopefully karma will catch up with these violators. The sentencing judge should have them spend an entire week picking up litter and scrubbing garbage cans and dumpsters by hand.
