Now that the good weather’s here, you’ll probably be spending more time in your yard. Too bad that old car of yours is spoiling the view!
It used to be that when you replaced a car with no trade-in value, you could either try and find someone willing to buy it, or pay a wrecker to come and haul it away. It’s great to know that there is now an option that offers both environmental and charitable benefits.
Giveacar is a UK-based social enterprise which organizes the collection and recycling of unwanted cars, with the proceeds of each vehicle going to charity. They work with scrapyards and salvage operators to ensure cars are sold for their maximum value – thus providing the maximum donation to charity. The program was inspired by a similar program in the United States, called Charitycar. In Canada, we have Kidney Car.
