Car Owners Warned to Ignore Cash For Car Signs 

Car owners who are thinking of disposing of a car have been warned to not contact the number found on recently posted Cash for Car signs. These signs are not in compliance with the law and over 5,000 signs have been removed in the last 18 months. The city council has passed the telephone numbers on these signs to the Gardai for investigation.

A combined statement put out by the Gardai and four other local authorities warns residents that these signs are not legal under the Litter Pollution Act of 1979. Residents are asked not to sell their cars to the owners of these signs.

Bernie Lillis, Dublin's City Council Waste Prevention Officer, says, "Our Waste Management Department take these signs down on site and will continue to do so." Residents who post such signs are subject to a fine of 150 pounds for each sign or up to 4,000 pounds for multiple offenses. The signs distract motorists and pose a danger to other drivers and pedestrians.

Motorists are also reminded that they have responsibility to make sure car titles are legally changed after a sale since the owner can be held liable for any charges or problems that are caused by the vehicle if this is not completed lawfully.
