The full process

Day 1

Inquire About Donation

Start the process by reaching out to us through our website or a quick phone call. Our dedicated team is ready to assist you with any questions. We take the time to explain how your vehicle donation will impact our Wyoming communities. Your inquiry helps us set the stage for a smooth donation experience, ensuring that you understand every step along the way.

Day 2

Provide Vehicle Details

We’ll need some information about your vehicle, such as the make, model, year, and condition. This information helps us figure out the best way to handle your donation. Whether your vehicle runs or is beyond repair, we’re equipped to take any car. Remember, every single vehicle donation has the power to create change here in Wyoming.

Day 3

Schedule Pickup

After receiving your vehicle details, we will arrange a convenient pickup time that works for you. Our local drivers are familiar with the Wyoming landscape, making pickups smooth and hassle-free. You’ll be able to select a day that fits into your schedule, ensuring that donating your car is easy and accommodating.

Pickup Day

Day 5

Transport to Auction or Recycling

Once picked up, your vehicle will be transported to our local auction or recycling facilities. We prioritize working with Wyoming-based companies to ensure that the proceeds stay within our state. This means your donation not only helps provide necessary services to your neighbors but also supports local businesses and the economy.

Day 6

Proceeds Support Research

After your vehicle is auctioned or recycled, the proceeds will go directly toward funding our benefits-research service. This initiative helps Wyoming residents connect with essential programs like WIC and LIEAP. By donating your vehicle, you play a crucial role in making our community stronger and better informed about available resources.

Day 7

Receive Tax Receipt

We’ll send you a tax receipt for your generous donation, which you can use when filing taxes. This receipt serves as a token of appreciation for your contribution to help fellow Wyoming residents. It's our way of ensuring you benefit from your kindness while supporting a great cause.
