Categories we accept
Most donated cars and sedans are sold at auction, allowing us to maximize their value. If they are not in driving condition, they may be parted out or recycled efficiently to ensure minimal waste.
In urban areas like Las Vegas, sedans are popular for their practicality, making them perfect candidates for donation.
Pickup trucks can often fetch a great price at auction or have parts that can be recycled. If they're non-running, they can still be dismantled for valuable components.
Rural communities in Nevada rely on pickup trucks for everyday tasks, making them highly valued donations.
These versatile vehicles tend to do well at auction. If they are not operable, they can be recycled or their parts sold individually.
SUVs are great for families found throughout Nevada, making donated models essential for our community programs.
Motorcycles often attract collectors and enthusiasts. Donated bikes may be sold outright or parted out if in poor condition.
With scenic routes across Nevada, motorcycles are a popular choice among residents, adding to the community’s spirit.
These vehicles usually sell well in auctions due to their recreational appeal. If they're not running, they can be stripped for useful parts.

With Lake Mead and other water bodies nearby, boats hold particular appeal for residents who enjoy fishing and water sports.

In Nevada's bustling economy, donating commercial vehicles can provide much-needed support for job growth and local services.
Non-running vehicles can still be valuable. They may be sold for parts or recycled, making them a sustainable choice for donation.
Even cars that aren't operational can help Nevada residents, as we ensure every part is put to good use.
Condition guide
When considering a vehicle donation, it's important to understand the different conditions a vehicle might be in. Running vehicles are the simplest to donate; they can be sold quickly or auctioned off, often generating higher funds for community programs. Non-running vehicles are also accepted, though they typically require more processing. These can be repaired, recycled for parts, or sold as scrap, ensuring that even a vehicle in poor condition can still contribute to our mission.
For vehicles with salvage titles, we can evaluate each case based on their potential value. Vehicles labeled as rebuilt or reconstructed may be acceptable, depending on the specifics of the repairs made. If a lienholder is present, you’ll need to resolve that prior to donation. Vehicles missing titles can be considered on a case-by-case basis, so contact us to discuss your options.
Title status
| Title status | Accepted? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| clean title | yes | Clean title vehicles are easily processed and typically result in higher funds for community programs. |
| salvage | with restrictions | Salvage titles can be accepted based on the vehicle’s condition and potential for parts or repair. |
| rebuilt/reconstructed | with restrictions | Rebuilt vehicles may qualify if they meet safety standards; please verify specifics with us. |
| lienholder present | case-by-case | If a lien is present, it must be cleared before donation; contact us for guidance on the process. |
| missing title | case-by-case | Vehicles without titles can still be considered, but you should reach out to discuss the details. |
