No problem! Here is an interesting story. I remember that Florida, NY and NJ had passed new laws concerning unsecured truck loads on our roadways. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/0 ... ingnews/main3044267.shtml

Yay! Cool - also Chapter 202 Junkyards - a good case can be made that these trucks are used as "premises" ... Thanks, really good link for information in general.

Here is a link to all of the codes of Jersey City. It seems that the JCIA or the NID people could enforce any codes that these junk-trucks are violating.
http://municipalcodes.lexisnexis.com/codes/jersey/maintoc.htm
? 287-24. Vehicles to be loaded to prevent littering.
No person shall drive or move any truck or other vehicle within the city unless such vehicle is so constructed or loaded as to prevent any load or contents of litter from being blown or deposited upon any street, alley or other public place. No person shall drive or move any vehicle or truck, the wheels or tires of which carry onto or deposit in any street, alley or other public place mud, dirt, sticky substances or foreign matter of any kind.

I was hoping someone knew what ordinances had been passed, laws used that had been used effectively or an area of city gov. that might be responsive.
Heck, we have restrictions against boomboxes - there has to be something on these unlicensed, and often illegal, scrappers!

I see these things almost every day around here, but hopefully the tumble in metal prices recently will help to eliminate them. Oh, and by the way this guys do not help with recycling since some of them steal many items that will need to be replace with new items, like copper pipes, siding, etc.

No, it's common knowledge among literate junkyard scrappers.

Aw! Nothing is forever! Perhaps someday people with your level of sophistication, intelligence and vision will buy those houses and restore the parking lots to green and flowery front yards worthy of being in the same city as.... you! As for the scrappers - as others have pointed out - some of that junk isn't scrap. Some of it is liberated, and some - as I've seen - picked up with the notes still on them "Still works! Please help yourself" ( a washing machine) and "Free Bike - needs chain." These are things well meaning folk put out to "recycle" as useful items. I grew up in Manhattan and have lived here long enough to have found really cool, and useful, things on many a trash night. No more! These guys get there first and often leave a mess behind. This is good? So may the scenic [sic!] junkyards find their way to your block, and home! Cheers!

It was during the heights hostage situation, so these recyclers had all the time they needed to liberate aluminum studs, brackets, and part of an "I" beam from a renovation project near the square.

There are new laws to combat these guys driving around with over-loaded trucks. Yes, these guys do recycle but there are times when they make off with metal that wasn't exactly "garbage". I saw 2 guys checking out a chained up bike on 8th. Street one day. They eventually left when they realized they were being watched. Some of the stuff you see in those trucks looks like it was "liberated" from construction sites.

Those scrappers are just trying to make a living - for the most part they are good because they help things get recycled.
On the other hand, I would hate to live across from those houses (pictured behind the truck) with their front yards turned into a parking areas! Now that is UGLY, and it's FOREVER!

How delightful! Junkyards that come to you!
If this stuff was in front of my house, I'd get slapped with fines so fast my head wouldn't have time to spin - yet this guy gets to park on the street, cruise around the city in his other vehicle, and unload the stuff into this Junkmobile! Usually in front of residential properties. The police can't do anything unless he sells items, or is in the process of unloading onto the street. NID can't do anything, unless it smells, or so I am told. They are all over the Heights, and proliferating in other areas. Has anyone had any luck with this? I don't begrudge the guy the right to make a living in Jersey City, as I do, but I have an overhead and taxes to pay. So I pay taxes to overlook this!? Yikes! Welcome to Jersey City!
