Car Donation in Ontario
In Ontario, there are a variety of options for you when you decide to let go of your vehicle. Some choose to either resell it privately or dissect the vehicle’s sellable parts and then take the rest of it to the scrap yard.
While these are all practical options, donating them to charity is another choice! The province offers special car donation programs and incentives to vehicle donors, and there are a lot of groups and private companies associated with charitable organizations that could help you out.
