How does the CAPE Program work?
- Pierce County Responds staff will coordinate with your community representative to arrange a meeting with you and your neighbors to discuss our assistance programs (described below).
- At that community meeting, our staff will answer questions about waste disposal, storage and recycling, provide handouts, and discuss County rules and regulations related to land use and junk vehicles.
- A community cleanup day will be established, and Pierce County Responds will return and issue paperwork to assist in the removal of trash and junk vehicles from properties in your neighborhood.
- This is a voluntary program.
Assistance Offered:
The following programs may be available to qualified properties:
- Litter Credits: A credit at a designated facility to dispose of approximately one ton of trash. Landfill fees are waived.
- Junk Vehicle Affidavits: A Junk Vehicle Affidavit (JVA) can be used in place of a title to have a junk vehicle(s) removed from your property. Hulk haulers will not remove junk vehicles if you do not have either a title or a JVA.
- Cooperative Abatement: financial assistance available to pay half of the tow fee, when charged.
