Measures for abandoned vehicles

　Abandoned vehicles not only impair the aesthetics of the city, but also have various adverse effects on the region, such as inducing illegal dumping.
　In Yokohama-shi, we remove, process abandoned car based on "the regulations (outside site) about prevention of outbreak of Yokohama-shi abandoned car and sinking ship and appropriate processing" (enforced in October, 1991).
　About car left on roads managed in city, we investigate owners of car based on reports from citizen and, about vehicle which owner was found, let owner remove In addition, about thing which owner is unknown, Yokohama-shi removes and disposes.
　In the case of private land, in principle, you will have to consult with the police, lawyers, free legal consultation, etc., and have the landowner respond.

　Please contact the beautification promotion section of each ward Public Works Office or town (in charge of abandoned cars).
　※In the case of private land, in principle, please consult with the police, lawyers, free legal consultation, etc., and ask the landowner to respond.

　When selling an automatic car or making it abandoned, a prescribed procedure is required. When you release your hand, do not neglect the procedure and handle it responsibly until the end.
　Also, when the owner changes, be sure to follow the procedure for changing the name at the Regional Transportation Bureau or the Light Vehicle Inspection Association. If the name is not changed properly, both cars may be used for crime, or eventually become abandoned self-cars and may be required to be removed as owners.

　Once a car is left unattended, it will take a lot of effort and time to remove it, so let's manage it properly so that it is not left on a regular basis.
As a precautionary measure,
・Set up security camera
・Attach gates and enclosures
・Clean up garbage on the premises frequently
　If a car you do not know is parked on your premises, it is important to deal with it as soon as possible. Be careful when managing the land on a daily basis so that it is not judged that "it is okay to leave it here."
