A "derelict vehicle" is a vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle, etc.) that is no longer operational. It is a vehicle that has been discarded or abandoned and will not be repaired.

If you have a derelict vehicle that you want removed, the Municipality of Chester will remove it, free-of-charge, if you meet the conditions as outlined below. An application must be completed BY THE OWNER for each vehicle to be collected. If you are not the owner, you may still be authorized to complete the application - please call for any special conditions that may apply.

 

CONDITIONS
• Car parts will not be collected unless they are inside a vehicle. For example, a fender may be placed inside the vehicle, but it will not be collected on its own.

• A derelict vehicle will not be collected if household garbage is placed inside.

• Up to five (5) used tires are accepted along with the derelict vehicle.

• Vehicles must be easily accessible for the removal equipment.

• A maximum of five (5) derelict vehicles will be collected unless special arrangements have been made through the Public Works Department.
