Getting rid of a junk car can sometimes be easier said than done. You’d think it would be as easy as just taking it to a local junkyard or disposal site but most don’t just except unwanted vehicles. There are plenty of options that a person can consider but they all have their good and bad sides. The most common options are:
- National Junk Car Removal
- Local Towing Company
- Donate Your Vehicle to Charity
- Haul Yourself to Scrapyard
- Donate to Local High School
These are just some of the main options that you have for junk car removal. Each one will be explained in more detail in following posts so that you can best consider your options. There are plenty of factors that a person wants to consider like if you have no title for the vehicle. What can you do then? What can you do if the car isn’t running and so on? Are you just wanting to dispose of it or are you trying to get a little cash out of it? How much time do you have to deal with the unwanted vehicle?

Free junk car removal that is offered by a national junk car removal service is the easiest way to go for most people. It is no more difficult than picking up the phone and making the call or filling out a short little online form to have your unwanted vehicle picked up. Most national companies have a 24 hour operator or you can fill in the form any time of day.
The good and the bad? National junk car removal companies work on a system that employs local towing companies to remove unwanted vehicles. These companies have been around a long time and have a fast and efficient network that makes the process as smooth as possible. They can usually have a tow truck to your home in as little as 24 hours to pick up the automobile. It makes no difference what condition the vehicle is in, running or not. It can be completely wrecked, rusted and falling apart and they will still haul it away.
A national junk car removal company is the easiest way to go, especially when you have no title for the vehicle. Almost all states have laws regarding non titled vehicles and a national company will be compliant with all state laws concerning removal of the vehicle. Most local companies operating alone won’t have that full understanding.
The only so called downside of using a national company is that they will not likely provide any compensation for the vehicle. Some people are looking to get a little of money out of an unwanted vehicle which most national companies don’t offer. But if you are just sick and tired of having a junk vehicle sitting around and want it gone, then a national junk car removal company is the surest best for you.

You have probably seen those signs on the sides of highways advertising to donate your vehicle to charity. It is for a good cause and there are definitely some advantages to donating a vehicle. The best part (besides the satisfaction of helping out a worthy cause) is often the tax write off that you can claim when donating a vehicle. Many people see this as a great option for any unwanted vehicle.
So why not donate to a charity? The answer depends on how many hoops you want to jump through to do it properly. You don’t just get to call them up and they come get your vehicle. You have to prove ownership first (title) as well as running condition. A charity is not looking for fixer uppers. They want to be able to turn the vehicle directly over without any work to whoever is in need. So good luck passing off that clunker that hasn’t started in a decade. Most often you will also have to provide delivery of the vehicle to wherever happens to be their closest location.
When you go to claim your tax write off you have to give a current condition value for the vehicle. If a car is in good enough running condition to donate, couldn’t you just sell it for more on Craigslist? That is actually what a lot of charities do with the vehicles anyways.
Donating your vehicle is a great way to go that gives back to the community. Just remember that the car needs to be titled, in good running condition and you will likely need to deliver the vehicle to the appropriate location.

Most people just figure that if they want to get rid of a junk vehicle they can just haul it away themselves. The motivation to do it themselves is usually because they are trying to get some money out of the vehicle and not just give it away for free. This makes sense but is it really worth the hassle?
A person first needs to think about where they can actually take the vehicle. You can’t just drive it down to the local dump and pull in. You will have to find a recycling center that will even take vehicles. There may not be one anywhere close to your location. Then there is the issue of if it is running. You will have to have some way to tow the vehicle to the recycling center if it can’t be driven.
The other issue that is usually of concern for most unwanted junk vehicles is title. No recycling center is going to accept a vehicle to crush without proof that the vehicle is yours. Some states even require a sheriff documented affidavit for vehicles that are not titled. So the question becomes: is it really worth the headache to get $50 from the vehicle since the price of steel just isn’t what it used to be?
