Top 7 Reasons to Recycle Your Junk Car
1. Donate to charity
Your car donation can make a huge difference in someone’s life. There are so many charities to choose from and they
will be more than happy to receive your donation.
2. Tax deduction
The IRS allows you, the taxpayer, to claim a tax deduction of the value of your vehicle up to $500. Instead of letting that junk car rust away, donate that tax deduction to your favorite charity.
For additional information, the IRS provides a Donor’s Guide to Car Donations which sets forth the manner in which the IRS requires you to determine the value of your donated property.

3. No hassles
Removal of your junk car is hassle free because there are no towing costs and the paper work is all taken care of.
4. Used for auto parts
Many people can’t afford to purchase new parts for their vehicles. The junk car sitting in your yard would make used car parts available.
5. No towing costs
A junk car owner doesn’t have to deal with towing costs or paperwork.
6. Recycle as scrap metal
Scrap metal is divided into two types: ferrous and nonferrous. Ferrous scrap is scrap iron and steel. The majority of your junk car can be used for scrap metal.
Scrap metals can be used in their original form for construction. Alternatively they can be melted down to create new metals. Recycling scrap metals contributes to a significant saving in greenhouse gas emissions in comparison to mining and processing the metal from raw materials.
7. Hazardous fluids and parts removed
All your hazardous fluids such as oil, gas, antifreeze and brake fluid can be disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner. Environmentally hazardous parts like switches with mercury are safely removed.
Conclusion
Most people don’t realize their junk car is another person’s treasure. After reading these top 7 reasons to recycle your car you’ll want to stop procrastinating and have it removed.
