Car Donations

Car, clothes, and houseware donations lead the pack among the places where Americans make charitable donations without even thinking. Car donations can make a change for people trying to get to work, donated clothes at least get reused, and it's hard to throw away a trusty old blender when it is still in working order. It's always Green and better to reuse.

Have too many old clothes that you can't seem to throw away? Donate them to one of the many charities that call to tell you that they'll be in your neighborhood picking up donations from front porches.

Have dishes, an underused food processor, or silverware that it seems a shame to simply throw out? Donations are preferable to adding to our landfills.

Car donations, on the other hand, are a different story. Unlike a blender or an old tee shirt, junk cars take up a great deal of space in landfills, and have the potential to make a significant adverse affect on our environment.

Car donations are becoming as common as AM Vet donations as charities realize the windfall available if you can lure donations of old cars. Like donations of clothes and housewares, donated cars might help underprivileged Americans to dress and drive themselves. More often, these donations end up being liquidated for pennies on the dollar.
