VROMI Marks Around 250 Wrecked Vehicles for Removal in Two-Week Campaign

St. Maarten's Ministry of Public Housing, Spatial Planning, Environment and Infrastructure (VROMI) has tagged approximately 250 wrecked and abandoned vehicles across the island as part of an ongoing vehicle removal campaign. The initiative, now two weeks in, targets derelict cars that have been left on public and private properties throughout St. Maarten. The campaign is a direct response to the growing problem of abandoned and damaged vehicles cluttering the island's roads and neighborhoods. Wrecked vehicles pose environmental and safety risks, including leaking fluids, obstructed roadways, and unsightly conditions that can affect quality of life and tourism. The marking of a vehicle signals it is scheduled for removal by authorities. VROMI's effort reflects broader government action to clean up and improve infrastructure conditions across the island. The campaign is still ongoing, and the total number of tagged vehicles is expected to rise as the effort continues.
