Waste Disposal and Environmental Charges
According to the policy of Cedar Rapids Parking Division, environmental and/or safety hazards must be promptly cleaned up or removed. Should a vehicle parked in a city owned facility, lot, or street spill, discharge, leak or abandon any substance, fluid, mechanical part, debris or waste to be determined as hazardous or potentially harmful to public safety in any form or fashion, Park Cedar Rapids must remove the substance or material in accordance with all city, state and federal guidelines.
It is also the policy of Park Cedar Rapids to recover any labor expenses or materials expenses incurred during the removal of such substances from the vehicle owner. The charged amount must be paid within 30 days of the receipt.
Vehicles found in violation of this policy will be notified requesting the immediate removal of the vehicle. It will then be the owner’s responsibility to remove the vehicle from the area or face possible fines or towing.
If the vehicle is not removed, Park Cedar Rapids will allow at its discretion up to five business days from the notice date for owner compliance. If no action is taken by the owner a tow order will be issued. The owner will then be responsible for all towing removal and cleanup fees associated.
Situations may arise where immediate removal of a vehicle is required. Should this situation arise, the Police Departments and/or Fire Departments will be notified, prior to the removal. Once notification has taken place, the vehicle will be subject to immediate towing to prevent any further public safety hazards and mitigate damage to public property. The vehicle’s owner will be responsible for all towing removal and cleanup fees associated with the given situation.
