Crumpled police cars, tractors missing tires, decade-old garbage trucks and a repainted ambulance fill a lot near I-285 and Memorial Drive.
It’s the “Island of Misfit Toys” for DeKalb County equipment. But officials hope the abandoned vehicles and other paraphernalia will find new homes and generate cash to help the county close an $84 million deficit.
The crashed trucks may only generate a few thousand dollars each, but every little bit helps, DeKalb County Commissioner Larry Johnson said.
“These are vehicles that have been wrecked or have too many miles to be considered safe on the road,” said Johnson, the County Commission’s presiding officer.
