What happens to my car after I donate it?

Asked a year ago
After you donate your car to 1800CarDonations.org, the organization takes care of all the necessary arrangements. Your vehicle is either auctioned or recycled, depending on its condition. If it's in good working order, it may be used by a family in need. However, if repairs are too costly or the car is beyond repair, it will be responsibly recycled. This ensures that the car is disposed of correctly, minimizing any negative impact on the environment. The proceeds from the auction or recycling are then used to support charitable programs and organizations. By donating your car, you're not only helping those in need but also contributing to a greener future.
