The inventory of junked autos has swollen to the point of blighting the countryside. Safety and health hazards associated with junked autos and the conservation/utilization of the scrap metal value of a junker provide ample reason for developing remedial disposal plans. The study considers a portion of the national junk-automobile problem. It is restricted to 36 counties in the Appalachian Region of Eastern Kentucky and related to junkers abandoned on or near public roads and junkers located in small and remote yards. Graveyards and auto-wrecking yards containing large numbers of automobiles were not considered. The primary objective of the study was the development of a junk-automobile-removal program. (Author)
