Donating Automobiles, Trucks, Trailers, Boats, Jet-Skis, Motorcycles, RVs
Even if your vehicle doesn’t run, lots of nonprofit organizations want it. Numerous “vehicle donation programs” will gladly accept most tow-able vehicles. Pickup is free. Some sell the vehicles directly to raise money; others contract with someone to run the donation program for a fee. Your best bet is to ask your favorite non-profit organization whether it accepts vehicles.
