Too bad you didn't live in Murietta at the time!!

""We hadn't tried the program in a couple of years. And the way the city has grown, I expected to get a lot more this time," she said. This year, at least so far, there have been fewer takers. Only about a dozen have been picked up this month. "Maybe they've lost paperwork, or maybe it's just too expensive. They just want to get rid of it, and they're not sure how. We'll come haul it away for free."
The city gets reimbursed through a state Abatement Program. When you buy your license, $1 goes into the fund to help communities haul away junk. Getting rid of it this way usually involves fewer headaches than trying to sell it or get rid of that old bucket yourself.

"Most people think you have to have the paperwork, but we don't need it," Mejia said. "We can run the license and take care of all of that."

The program is designed to help keep Murrieta beautiful.

"We live in such a wonderful place," Mejia said. "Let's get rid of those eyesores sitting in people's yards."
