A corner that gets confused
Black Oak sits in the far southwest of Gary, near the Burr Street exit of the Borman Expressway. It was annexed in the 1970s, and its phone numbers are Hammond numbers, so people there often think of themselves as in Hammond. For a junk car that matters: the rules that apply are those of the city whose limits you are in.
Which rules
Inside Gary limits, Sec. 18-195 bars abandoned and junked vehicles on public and private property. If you are unsure which side of the line you are on, tell us the street when you call, and we help sort it out. Hammond has its own rules, including a 30-day limit on a junk vehicle in public view.
The pickup
The truck comes down the Borman or along US 12 and 20 to your street. There is no towing charge; payment comes at pickup.
