Can You Donate a Vehicle That No Longer Runs in Staten Island?
Yes. Our Staten Island car donation program accepts cars, trucks and motorcycles whether or not they are in working condition. If your vehicle no longer runs, you can still contact us about donating it. We arrange vehicle pickup and towing at no cost to you, so you do not need to drive it to us.
A vehicle sitting unused can leave you wondering where to begin. Start by telling us what you have, where it is located and what you know about its condition. Call us with questions about your individual circumstances before making plans for the vehicle.
Which non-running vehicles can you donate?
We accept non-running cars, trucks and motorcycles through our Staten Island donation program. Working condition alone does not determine whether you can begin a donation with us.
If you are unsure how to describe your vehicle, use everyday language. You can tell us when it last ran, whether it has been sitting for a while and whether you know why it stopped running. You do not need to guess at a mechanical diagnosis just to ask us a question.
For a vehicle with damage, missing parts or other circumstances you want to discuss, call us and describe those details. We are ready to answer your questions about the vehicle you have.
How does pickup work when the vehicle cannot run?
We arrange pickup and towing at no cost to the donor. We work with you to choose a convenient pickup time and location. Tell us where your vehicle is parked when you contact us.
To make the conversation more useful, consider having a few details ready:
- The vehicle type, make and model, if you know them.
- A straightforward description of its current condition.
- Its location, such as a driveway, garage or curbside parking space.
- Any access details you think may matter, such as a narrow driveway or another vehicle parked in front of it.
- Your questions about pickup arrangements and the donation process.
These are useful conversation notes, not a reason to delay reaching out. If you do not know something about the vehicle, simply tell us what you do know.
What happens after you start your donation?
You can begin by calling us or completing our online donation form. When you call, we collect the necessary information and arrange your pickup. After an online donation request, we contact you within 24 hours to schedule pickup.
Donated vehicles are sold at auction or recycled into new materials. Proceeds from those sales benefit charities partnered with Troops Relief Fund. A vehicle that no longer serves your transportation needs can support our work helping military personnel and veterans through that donation process.
