Frequently Asked Questions for Donating My Vehicle to Charity

How do I donate my vehicle to charity with Recycle Any Car?

Donating your vehicle to charity through Recycle Any Car is easy and rewarding. First, simply enter your vehicle’s registration and postcode to receive a free, no-obligation valuation. Once you accept the quote, we’ll arrange a convenient, free collection at your location. Your vehicle will then be recycled through our network of ATF-Registered collectors, and the proceeds will go directly to the charity of your choice. It’s a hassle-free way to support a great cause while responsibly recycling your vehicle!

Do I need to drive my vehicle to the charity or recycling center?

No, there’s no need to drive your vehicle anywhere. We offer free nationwide collection from your home, workplace, or any location of your choice. Once we collect your vehicle, it will be safely and responsibly recycled by an ATF-Registered collector, ensuring the process is smooth and convenient for you, while making sure the proceeds benefit your chosen charity.

How much of the proceeds from my vehicle donation go to charity?

100% of the proceeds from your vehicle donation go directly to the charity of your choice. When you donate your vehicle, it will be recycled through our trusted network of ATF-Registered collectors. The value of your vehicle will be assessed based on factors like its make, model, and condition, and the full value (after recycling) will be donated to the selected charity, helping them fund important programs and initiatives.

What documents do I need to donate my vehicle to charity?

To donate your vehicle, you’ll need the V5C logbook to transfer ownership legally. Our network of ATF-Registered collectors will handle all the paperwork, ensuring the vehicle is properly recorded and recycled according to legal requirements. You will also receive a Certificate of Donation for your records. If you’ve misplaced your V5C, don't worry – we’ll guide you through the process of informing the DVLA and still proceed with the donation.

Will I be paid for donating my vehicle to charity?

While you won't receive a direct payment for your donation, your vehicle's value will benefit the charity you’ve chosen. This is a great way to contribute to a cause you care about, and your donation may also be eligible for tax benefits, depending on your location. We will provide you with a receipt for your donation, which you can use for tax purposes. Rest assured, the proceeds from the recycling of your vehicle will go directly to charity, making a real difference.

Can I donate a vehicle that’s not in working condition?

Yes, you can donate a vehicle in any condition, whether it’s running or not. Our network of ATF-Registered collectors accepts vehicles in all states, from fully functioning cars to those that are damaged or no longer running. Even if your vehicle is non-operational, it can still be a valuable contribution to charity. The recycling process ensures that parts are reused or responsibly disposed of, and the proceeds from the vehicle will support your chosen charity.

What happens to my vehicle after donation?

After your vehicle is collected, it will be taken to one of our licensed ATF-Registered facilities where it will be recycled in line with environmental regulations. This includes safely removing hazardous materials like fluids and batteries, followed by dismantling and recycling the vehicle’s parts. The value of the recycled vehicle will then be donated to the charity of your choice. This ensures that your donation is not only eco-friendly but also helps make a meaningful impact for those in need.
