Junk Car Removal Santiam Towing and Recovery (STR) will work with local residents to remove abandoned vehicles and car parts from your yard. STR will remove abandoned or inoperable vehicles from your yard at a nominal charge or no charge. STR cannot take a vehicle if it has garbage, debris or tires inside the car. Metal car parts are acceptable if they are placed inside the car. Call STR at 503-897-5757 for assistance. Information on other potential companies for car removal is available by contacting City Hall. Code Enforcement The Linn County Sheriff’s Office and the City of Mill City are actively enforcing the city’s nuisance ordinances. Mill City Municipal Code, Section 8.04 identifies the following items as nuisances and states property owners are responsible for their removal: 1. Junk: Accumulated rubbish and debris on private property. 2. Abandoned Appliances & Machinery: Abandoned appliances, machinery and/or equipment that is attractive, dangerous and/or accessible to children. 3. Inoperable & Abandoned Vehicles in Streets or Alleys: Inoperable, discarded, unregistered or abandoned vehicles found in the public right-of-way (normally a 50' to 60' wide area which includes the paved street plus the gravel or dirt shoulder) will be tagged and towed in accordance with state law. Towing can occur 24 hours after the vehicle is tagged. 4. Abandoned vehicles on private property: No person may store any abandoned, inoperable vehicle, unregistered vehicles or vehicle parts on private property unless it is stored inside an enclosed garage or building. 5. High Grass: The Mill City Fire Department encourages you to reduce fire hazards by cutting back high grass. Property owners inside the city limits are required to mow high grass (over 10" high) and cut back blackberries and noxious weeds between May 15th and September 15th each year. Most property owners do a great job of cooperating with the City. Over the past 17 years more than 200 abandoned or inoperable vehicles have been removed. If you receive a written notice or are personally contacted by a Sheriff’s Deputy, we will first look for you to voluntarily comply and abate the nuisance. However, if the property owner does not remove the nuisance, the city and Sheriff’s Department will enforce the ordinance. A property owner may be cited into Municipal Court and the city may abate the nuisance and bill the cost, plus a 20% administrative fee to the property owner. Any unpaid costs will be placed as a lien against the property. Enforcement action takes considerable time and money. We would prefer to work with citizens and property owners to improve the appearance of the neighborhood. For More Information: Call City Hall at 503-897-2302. |
