Where to donate Mobility Scooter (used)

  • Yeah, I would definitely look for a local charity/person who could use it directly first but if that fails/you don't have the time, I would consider contacting Giveacar.
    I know they mainly accept donations of cars, but worth a try as it is free to use them and they have donated random things before.
    and as Voteguido says, the main thing is to not just throw them away

    You would not believe how difficult it is to get rid of a mobility scooter (unless you freecycle it and it'd be gone in seconds).

    I sold a 3-wheeler through a small ad in the local paper recently. It went very quickly. Got £150 for it.

    I would advertise and sell it and put the money away - you will need it to help pay for the Nursing Home

    Google for a church that runs a lunch club for elderly people. They will know loads of old dears who'd love that. Or if there's a Lions charity - they do lots of work taking people out in minibuses that have mobility issues, so will also know loads of people.

    I'm sure the Op.would've decided how to dispose of the scooter after 2 bloody years!
