Car Heaven
In Operation: 2000 – Present
Rewarding Canadians for getting their high-polluting cars permanently off the road
The founding program of Summerhill Impact, Car Heaven is dedicated to accelerating the retirement of older, higher polluting vehicles and to promoting a shift from traditional forms of transportation to cleaner alternatives.
Since Car Heaven was launched in 2000:
- More than 89,000 old gas-guzzling cars have been responsibly recycled
- Reduction of over 51,000 tonnes of smog forming emissions
- Generated over $3.4 million in donations to various charities across Canada
Program Participants are offered a free tow of their 1996-or-newer vehicle, a charitable tax receipt, and the guarantee that their old vehicle will be recycled in an environmentally responsible manner.
Our Industry Partners, a network of automotive recyclers, are able to recycle and/or re-use about 75% of a retired vehicle and they also benefit from the improved corporate image, environmental contribution, and increased public awareness of their industry achieved through their participation in the Car Heaven program.
Our Charitable Partners benefit from the funds raised through the collection and recycling of vehicle parts and metals.
