Give Your Unwanted Vehicles To Keep PA Beautiful As Charitable Donation

Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful Monday announced it has partnered with Keep America Beautiful and 1Car1Difference to launch a new vehicle donation program. All donations may be eligible for a tax deduction on one’s federal income tax return.

Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful’s vehicle donation program accepts almost any vehicle, including cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles and recreational vehicles.  Regardless of the vehicle’s running condition, they still have value through continued use as an operable car, as repair parts that can extend the life of a car or by recycling their steel parts.

“This is a great opportunity and easy way to get rid of junked vehicles while building support for clean and beautiful communities in Pennsylvania. Car donations are another way to support the mission of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful. Donating your used or unused vehicle is a terrific opportunity to support recycling, the economy and at the same time improves air quality and the environment in general,” explains Shannon Reiter, President of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful. 

"Taking old cars off the road can help the environment by recycling and saving energy,” said Greg Crawford, executive director of the Steel Recycling Institute and a KAB board member. ”Donating these cars can directly help programs such as Keep America Beautiful by providing an additional source of funding. It’s a win-win for sustaining the environment.”

Revenue generated from vehicles donated in Pennsylvania will be shared between Keep America Beautiful, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful and the local Keep America Beautiful affiliate.

In Pennsylvania, a vehicle donation through 1Car1Difference will provide Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful with funding to support community improvement efforts across Pennsylvania including the Great American Cleanup, Fresh Paint Days, and Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful’s Adoption and Litter Free School Zone Programs.
