I don't live in the city proper but I have seen it done. Are there any rules for this and what about the oil and gas in the cars?? There is the ground water issue also.
What do you think?
Thanks
Answer:
Most locations regulate the disposal of waste on your property, due to the very issues that you pointed out. Generally you can leave a vehicle parked indefinately on private property (as long as the neighbors don't complain), but once you do something, like push it into a ditch, especially if you intend to cover it with dirt, you may run into problems. If you just "park" it in a ditch, you may be okay, but there may be other issues, like blocking water flow, or comtaminating irrigation water.
If your area changes substantially, like neighborhoods pop up around you, you could be forced to remove any old cars from the property no matter where you park them.
If you have an old junk car that you want to get rid of, you may want to consider donating it to charity, or selling it to a local junk yard. What you get for it may cover a tow bill to get it there.
Good luck!
you can push your car in the ditch as long as you dont claim for the damages or thats fraud
As for a legal response, your first step would be to look into local, city and county laws.
I am almost for certain looking into your county laws will provide you with the answer that you seek. Unfortunatly without knowing where you live, I don't think anyone on here can provide with a detailed response on your questions as laws of this nature vary by city, county, state.
It depends on the laws in your state and in the city you live in. Generally speaking, however, I have never seen a city, township, principality, etc., that has allowed people to do that. Not only do you have environmental issues with gasoline and oil getting into the water table, you also have the "eyesore" problem. Most communities have standards about vehicles (can't park them on your front lawn, can't have them up on blocks in your front yard, etc.). So I'm betting you'd get into trouble for pushing a car into the ditch, even if it's on your own property.
Really depends on where you live.
But with all the environmental laws,
I wouldn't think it would be so easy
anywhere any more.
Why not? They do it all the time in West Virginia and Kentucky, it's a eye sire but they do it as land fill.
