In 1973, the state legislature passed the Motor Vehicle Recycling and Disposal Act. This innovative law provided a way to clean up junk vehicles from the state's landscape. When vehicles are licensed, a fee is included that provides for the collection of junk vehicles. In Lake County, when a person wants a junk vehicle hauled away, they simply call the hauling contractor, sign a release form, and the vehicle is hauled to the county vehicle graveyard at no additional charge. The contractor also removes any remaining refrigerant gas, fuel, and other fluids from the vehicle.
