LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Vehicle Amnesty Days will be held around Lake County starting Friday, Sept. 10.

This program is available for the unincorporated areas of Lake County and both cities.

This is an excellent opportunity to get rid of those junk cars and parts, and help Keep Lake County beautiful.

Extra motors (without oil), vehicle parts and batteries can also be brought to the amnesty sites for free disposal. However, the vehicle cannot have extra tires or garbage and no motor homes, school busses or travel trailers will be accepted.

The Vehicle Amnesty Days begin on Friday, Sept. 10, and Saturday, Sept. 11, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Middletown Towing and Vehicle Dismantlers, located at 15970 Polk Ave. off Highway 53 in Clearlake. Middletown Towing will accept large trucks and school buses.

The second Vehicle Amnesty Days event will be held on Friday, Oct. 1, and Saturday, Oct. 2, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Last Mile Auto Dismantlers on 1205 West Highway 20 in Upper Lake.

The final Vehicle Amnesty Days event will be held Friday, Nov 5, and Saturday, Nov. 6, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Kelseyville Auto Salvage on 7666 Highway 29 west of Kit’s Corner in Kelseyville.

If you do not have a title for the vehicle, that’s OK. They will take it anyway. If your vehicle is not registered the Department of Motor Vehicles in Lakeport will provide a no-fee one trip permit per vehicle for the amnesty day you choose.

Last Mile Auto Dismantlers, north of Upper Lake on Highway 20, has agreed to provide discount tows for this event in their area. Call 707-275-2259 to set your appointment.
