JunkyardDirect: Junk Car Ban

Amplify’d from junkyarddirect.com

Junk Car Ban

Burlington enforced a junk car ban (which was introduced in June) earlier this month. The ban allows the city to tow junked vehicles that are within the limits of the city itself. It has been reported by the Burlington police station, though, that the city has a low number of junk cars, which are barely ever even seen. Burlington council member Celo Faucette reported that the ban was introduced so as to improve the city aesthetically, an ironic report, since the city has few viewable junk cars to the public. Most junk cars are on private property and in backyards. This means that the ban would allow the city to curtail property rights and allow officials to go onto private property so as to remove the supposed “junk” vehicle.

But what is “junk”? Have you ever heard the saying “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”? So, then, who is to decide what “trash” really is? And so, this is a major problem that arises with this ban. What is trash? What is junk? What qualifies a vehicle to be junk? No one person may be able to say. Some vehicles have sentimental value despite the fact that they are aesthetically displeasing.

It is understandable that junk cars may have a negative impact on a neighborhood by impacting property value and by being hazardous to the environment because of leaking fluids; however, the ban on junk cars is not the best answer. If the focus is on danger and on the value of property, these aspects should be addressed rather than enforcing a ban on junk cars altogether. The ban went into affect on Saturday October 8th.
