Junk vehicles catalyst for saving lives in Kentucky
The Rotary Club of Lexington, the Lexington Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG), industry, and the public are working together to meet the goal of "instituting a working smoke detector in every residence in Fayette County, Kentucky, by the year 2000." Their vehicle for meeting this objective is the "Save A Life" program launched in February 1995 by the Lexington Rotary Club and the LFUCG.
Under the program, citizens wishing to dispose of junk vehicles and who agree to forgo the current salvage fee of $80 per vehicle call a hotline established for the program. The car is towed without charge by Bluegrass Towing, Inc., which donates the $80-per-car salvage fee to the "Save A Life" program. Other participants in the junk-car component of the program are Baker Iron and Metal Co., Cellular One, and several departments and divisions of the Urban County Government.
