Charitycar scheme saves forest with Cool Earth
The Charity Car scheme enables your old motor to make a difference before it hits the scrap yard, by saving an area of endangered rainforest.
The new car recycling scheme allows people to donate the value of their scrap car to Cool Earth. Get a quote for how much your old four wheels are worth and Charity Car will collect it from you free of charge, wherever you are, passing on 100% of the car's market value to the customer's chosen charity.
Cool Earth's director Matthew Owen, sees this as the perfect way to more than offset all those car journeys;
"By getting rid of your old scrap car through Charity Car, you can protect at least 2 acres of rainforest with Cool Earth, locking in around 520 tonnes in CO2 emissions. Who would have thought your old banger could do all that for the environment."
Rebecca Roddis from Charity Car which is run by Caretakeback.com, says it makes perfect sense to use your car as a way of giving back to the planet;
"The average car generates around 2.6 tonnes in CO2 emissions per year, through the Charity Car scheme, you can donate to Cool Earth and more than offset your car's lifespan by protecting rainforest."
Cars that still have some life left in them are sold at auction to the highest bidder. Money raised is then passed on to the charity of the seller's choice. For cars that have reached the end of the road, Cartakeback will make sure each one is recycled in line with EU regulations at a licensed recycling centre.
Both business and the public, in fact anyone with an old car, can donate through Charity Car, www.charitycar.co.uk or by calling 0844 669 68 89.
