Dozens of abandoned vehicles removed from the Hackensack River
NJ State Police next month are planning to remove dozens of abandoned vehicles from the Hackensack River to clean up pollution from the waterway, according to a report in the Record of Bergen County.
The report said the State Police Marine Services located several cars and trucks this week using sonar technology as well as guidance from environmentalists.
Divers and underwater robots will lift the cars to the surface by using airbags, then a boat will tow them to shore to be placed on truck flatbeds, the report said. Those found dumping vehicles into the river also will be targeted for prosecution, the report said.
