London, November 4, 2010:

There can be very little doubt that we all want to do our bit for the environment and help charities as much as possible. It is what makes us feel like we are helping the planet and its people. But with the economy the way it is and the pressure on the family income, it can be a difficult task to do either these days – never mind both. So what if there was a way that you could not only be green by responsibly disposing of your scrap or unwanted family car, but at the same time make a donation to your favourite charity – ALL without opening your wallet or purse.

That scenario sounds almost too good to be true, yet it is all possible thanks to an amazing service offered by a UK company called GiveaCar.co.uk. They have been running this amazing social enterprise since January 2010 and it is going from strength to strength. But what is it? I hear you cry.

The company have teamed up with the biggest national car recycling network to provide an opportunity for anyone that needs to get rid of an unwanted or scrap car. It’s just like taking your clothes or books to a charity shop, except that this scheme takes cars instead (and they collect!). One call to giveacar.co.uk, and collection is arranged for free, the car is then taken away to either a salvage auction to be sold for the best price possible, or to a local licensed vehicle dismantling yard for recycling and destruction. Either way the charity of your choice receives a donation.

The scheme has allowed many hundreds of people, so far this year, to dispose of their old and unwanted cars without having to pay for a lorry to come and take it away, or waste time tracking down a proper licensed dismantling yard. The partners that work with GiveaCar.co.uk are fully licensed, responsible and will always strive to get the best price by the best means, for any car they are donated.

The implications for those of us that are harried by the pace and stresses of modern family life are all positive, with one phone call we can now be sure that we are disposing of our cars in a responsible and environmentally correct manner and know also that a sum of cash will arrive at the door of our favourite charity very soon after the old jalopy has left the premises. A ‘win win’ for all concerned, and these days win-wins are becoming quite hard to find!.
