The Kidney Car Program is a fundraising initiative of The Kidney Foundation of Canada. People are invited to donate their old or unwanted vehicles to the Foundation. The vehicles are towed free of charge and recycled, or resold, and the donor receives a tax receipt (the amount varies by region) for the vehicle. Vehicles that are not resold are disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner: the car as well as the tires, battery and oil are recycled. It's an easy way to get rid of an unwanted vehicle while helping a good cause. Please check out their web site for the location nearest you.
