Warren, RI (PRWEB) November 6, 2009 -- DonationWizard (www.DonationWizard.com), a leading provider of car donation programs for non-profit organizations, reinforces its commitment to environmental awareness by celebrating America Recycles Day 2009 on November 15. America Recycles Day is dedicated to raising awareness about the advantages of recycling and buying recycled products.

The automobile is the most recycled consumer product. Each year, the steel industry recycles more than 14 million tons of steel from end-of-life vehicles. This is equivalent to nearly 13.5 million automobiles. Recycling steel also saves energy and other natural resources. The steel industry annually saves the equivalent energy to power about 18 million households for a year. Recycling one ton of steel conserves 2500 pounds of iron ore, 1400 pounds of coal and 120 pounds of limestone (source: Steel Recycling Institute).

“We encourage everyone who is interested in recycling their automobile to consider donating it to a non profit.” said Joseph Hearn, President, Advanced Remarketing Services, Inc. “Donated cars may end up as a bridge, goal posts at the local high school or even as a computer.”

DonationWizard, www.donationwizard.com, returns 75% - 80% of the gross dollar raised by donated cars back to the charity – this amount is double what most car donation programs return. DonationWizard manages the car donation programs for national and regional charities, including: Habitat For Humanity, National Public Radio, Arthritis Foundation, March of Dimes, One Laptop Per Child, Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Foundation, Feed The Children and more. For a full list of charities visit www.donationwizard.com or call 888-709-2277.
