Condition guide
When considering a donation to Green Wheels, it's important to understand the condition of your vehicle. We accept both running and non-running vehicles. If your car is operational, it can be picked up and sold at auction, providing maximum benefit. Non-running vehicles are also acceptable, as they can be recycled for parts or resold for scrap value, contributing to our funding efforts.
Vehicles with salvage titles or those that are missing certain documentation may still qualify for donation, but each case is evaluated individually. It's important to contact us for clarification on any specific situations you may have regarding vehicle condition, as our aim is to help as many residents as possible.
