Abandoned vehicles

If you find an abandoned car on a road managed by the city, please contact Midori Public Works Office (045-981-2100).

Cars left on the edge of the road or on the side of the park and whose owner cannot be found are also malicious cases, such as removing the number or carving the body number. Such abandoned cars not only spoil the aesthetics of the city, but also hinder the passage of people and cars, sometimes ignited, and cause various problems in the community.

About car left on roads managed by city, we investigate in Public Works Office based on "the regulations about prevention of outbreak such as Yokohama-shi abandoned car and sinking ship and appropriate processing" (enforced in October 1991) And confirm the facts. Check the number, body number, damage status, etc., make a record and attach a warning letter (yellow card) at the same time.
In addition, the police confirms the owner, issues removal recommendations and removal orders as necessary, and are proceeding with voluntary removal. However, as a result of the investigation, if the owner is not known, vehicles that have been determined to be waste are removed and disposed of in the city by the Waste Judgment Committee (held in charge of Resources and Waste Recycling Bureau beautification promotion).
