Old cars that sit around your property can make you money in different ways. For one, you can strip the car down and sell parts on eBay. You can sell the parts are swap meets or on many of the car forums. After you have everything off the car that can be sold to others, you can then take the car to a recycling company where they will pay you for the body or shell, whatever you have left of the car, minus the tires. Many people find that this way of recycling is a lucrative way for making some money recycling.

Another way of making some money recycling old cars is by donating to groups such as Bart Starr’s Boys Ranch. They accept cars, boats, campers and motorcycles free. You in turn can take the amount of the vehicle for a tax deduction. This is the long way around making some money from recycling, but it does pay in the end. Many of these organizations are found throughout the United States and are supported through the proceeds of these vehicles after they work on them and fix them up to sell.

Cars, trucks and campers are sitting around everywhere because people do not know what to do with them and they are not worth much. Recycling them through one of these organizations helps the environment, the organization and gives you a tax deduction, which is just another way to make money at the end of the year instead of cash in hand.
