Litter, and associated offenses, refer to leaving items of little or no value laying around. So, no, there are no charges to bring them up on. There is specified in the law a time frame where you can have the equipment removed by a private company, just like towing. Problem is, it's your problem. The tow company may be content to wait for the owner to claim his equipment, and pay for the towing, or you might have to pay for the towing, and try to recover it in civil court (lawsuit). Same with charging them storage or loss of revenue due to the presence of the equipment. Only recourse is to sue for it. Check with YOUR state laws concerning liens. It usually provides for storage charges for unclaimed property, and the property does not have to be returned until payment has been made. Daily charges continue until payment has been made AND the equipment removed. A mechanic's lien is one example. But the law is different in each state, regarding notice, amounts, legal filing, etc. It’s not a crime to leave equipment on someone’s property.
