'Out West' in North sutherland, the whole area is littered with wrecked cars, with a regular comment by visitors of "why don't they get rid of them"? well the Council will for a considerable sum, there are no 'dumps' around, it's too far from Thurso to be collected as scrap, so why don't the Highland Council follow the example below? (down there, there are facilities to get rid of 'em, but still get assistance from the Council)
Plea to surrender unwanted cars
Police are urging residents to surrender their abandoned cars before the end of an unwanted car amnesty. The Bin the Banger campaign is a joint project between Lancashire police, the fire service and Hyndburn council. During the amnesty, the council will collect and dispose of unwanted cars free of charge. Councillor Peter Clarke, from Hyndburn Council, said "Abandoned vehicles blight the environment, are dangerous and can lead to further crime."
Unclaimed cars The Bin the Banger scheme is supported by the Home Office Safer, Stronger Communities Fund and is due to end this month. Owners must agree to legally surrender the car by completing the blue section on the Vehicle Registration Document and send it with an accompanying letter requesting removal to the council.
