They are littered everywhere in Puna, quite the eyesore. Some stolen, minimal work required to check VIN.
I’m sure there are other laws relating to public nuisance, trash.
Why is so little being done?
What could be done if people were motivated?

There was a reduction when the county had funds to offer the vehicle wreckers a stipend to haul junked vehicles, heck some of the wreckers even went into some of the subdivisions to pick up junkers...
As long as there is no monetary incentive to hauled junked vehicles away, most likely they will be a part of the Hawai`i landscape..
Laws against dumping??? are you kidding??? Any junked vehicle would become a stolen vehicle...then it would be a "crime scene" with little policing to do discovery & such... they would remain as is...
So, if you feel there should be something done, you do have options:
move to an area that has CC&R & enforcement
pay out of your own pocket:
work to re-instate the former fees haulers got (which would also come from all of our pockets...
Or talk to everyone you know & all of your neighbors & motivate them to work together to remove them...

Why is it legal to keep unregistered vehicles on your property unless stored inside away from view? Many areas/counties have laws that state more than 2 or 3 unregistered vehicles means you have to have a salvage yard license. Again, vehicles stored inside, which are usually collector/classics, are exempt.

Did anyone say it was LEGAL???
just because it is done all over the county does not make it LEGAL, but who is gonna enforce it?
most police here are driving their own vehicles...(though royally reimbursed for them) yah really think they are gonna drive their own vehicle out on some of the salvage yard roads for something that will get no traction in court???

Carey - not talking about salvage yards. Talking about the typical 3+ junk cars sitting in multiple yards in the typical subdivision.

I wonder if those 3 vehicles out at South Point will ever be removed, lol. There's a minivan, a car, and a truck out there. They've been there for years.

Option 4: put up cameras, ID the perpetrators, educate them?

Put up cameras where? Every road on every telephone pole every hundred feet in every subdivision? Wonder how much that would cost in taxpayer dollars? Doesn't seem feasible to me.
If it was feasible and the perps are ID'd, I think they are beyond education. They are the low-life aina-hater types, probably all tweaked out and 100% selfish.

On another thread, I proposed a “deposit” for cars ... like bottles and cans, charged by the dealer on new cars $500 to $1000, which later would be paid to a licensed junkyard. Usually the scrap value of the car is considered sufficient, but it doesn’t work here for some reason... here you pay them to take them car. Junk cars here represent negative value.
