We are a buyer of scrap cars that handles damaged vehicle removal & old car removal services throughout Cuyahoga, Lorain, Lake and Geauga Counties. Our next topic involves some local governmental activity in Luzerne County PA. This county is located in NE Pennsylvania with an approximate population of 300,000. In reviewing its demographics, it seems to be a fairly stable region as it relates to economy, with average household income nearing $40,000. In the May 27, 2015 edition of citizensvoice.com, Eric Mark produced an article titled ‘County council rejects amended junk car ordinance’ with the following details: “Luzerne County Council has changed its mind & rejected a junk car ordinance it adopted in March. Council voted 6-5 to reject the amended ordinance, which would have allowed the county zoning office to cite owners of old, non-functional vehicles determined to be eyesores and fine them $500 per week, up to $2,500, after 60 days of non-compliance. The ordinance pertained to the 23 municipalities in Luzerne County that rely on the county to enforce zoning regulations.

The vote means the ordinance adopted is repealed. Even after approving that ordinance, council waited to implement it until it got feedback from the county planning commission & municipalities; that feedback resulted in the amended ordinance on Tuesday’s agenda. Debate over the junk car ordinance provided sparks at the council meeting. Council members who voted in favor called it an attempt to deal withhold car re a public nuisance & clean up hazardous situations. Those opposed said the issue of junk cars is better left to municipalities to deal with on their own.  The rejected ordinance defines a “junk vehicle” as one that is visible from 500 ft. away & meets 2 of these criteria:

• 10 years or older;
• extensively damaged;
• apparently inoperable;
• covered in debris, vegetation, moss or weeds;
• Not been moved in 120 days;
• Doesn’t display valid license plate, registration sticker or inspection sticker.
