Categories we accept

Cars & Sedans

Cars and sedans are often sold at auction or broken down for parts. The proceeds help fund programs that benefit local residents. Even older models can be refurbished or recycled into new materials.

In Melbourne, many families rely on cars for daily commuting, and your donation can help others gain access to reliable transportation.

Pickup Trucks

Pickup trucks are highly valuable in auctions, and many are repurposed for parts. These donations contribute significantly to funding essential services for our community members.

Given the area's need for utility vehicles, your pickup truck could help local trade workers and contractors keep our community thriving.

SUVs & Crossovers

SUVs and crossovers are often sold at auction or recycled for valuable materials. The funds generated help enhance local outreach programs and community support systems.

Commercial vehicles are generally auctioned off or sold for parts, contributing to funding local support programs that help residents thrive.

Your commercial vehicle could help local businesses and tradespeople, providing them with resources to continue serving our Melbourne community.

Non-running vehicles can still be recycled for parts or scrapped, helping fund our vital services and community integration efforts.

In Melbourne, many residents might have non-running vehicles that could be transformed into resources for those in need.

Condition guide

When considering a vehicle donation, it's essential to understand the condition of your vehicle. Running vehicles are the easiest to process and can quickly be sold at auction or repurposed for parts. However, we also accept non-running vehicles, which may require some additional processing but can still be recycled or sold for scrap. If your vehicle has substantial damage but is not beyond repair, we encourage you to reach out.

Vehicles with salvage titles can be accepted on a case-by-case basis, as they often require additional paperwork. It's important to note that vehicles with missing titles may not qualify for donation, but we can discuss possible solutions. Regardless of the vehicle's condition or title status, your contribution can make a significant difference in our community.
