Cleveland Scrap Yard, Illegal Dumping

An auto scrap yard on Cleveland’s east side is the subject of a raid and investigation stemming from allegations concerning the illegal dumping of used auto tires and other items typically associated with an auto scrap yard and auto recycling. According to a Cleveland.com article on May 8, 2014, “local authorities raided a Cleveland scrap yard that’s accused of illegally dumping tires. CPC’s Towing & Recycling on Kinsman Rd. was raided by police, sheriff’s deputies, and members of other agencies.” This Cleveland scrap facility houses junk vehicles and scrap vehicles for auto recycling.

Cleveland scrap vehicle facilities and other auto scrap yard sites are required to conform to environmental concerns with how they handle and process junk vehicles and scrap vehicles in their auto recycling operations. Two dogs and two horses were also found on the property and other details are to follow.

Buyers of junk vehicles and scrap vehicles that do not adhere to auto recycling guidelines continue to give the auto scrap yard industry a bad name. Many of these “cash for cars” companies are possibly not aware of the current local laws governing the environmental challenges of disposal of junk cars and scrap cars.
