Hi, I have old 1998 Suzuki Esteem that is next to being dead (still runs though). So my question is where I can donate my car to get some claimable tax receipt. Prefer somewhere around Toronto. Thank you.

Call the local highschools to see if they have an auto shop...they may be quite happy to have this vehicle!

Retire Your Ride is an initiative of The Government of Canada, Clean Air Foundation and its partners, designed to enable people to get their high-polluting cars off the road and reward them for doing so. The program is committed to improving air quality by responsibly recycling vehicles and aims to retire at least 50,000 vehicles per year until March 31, 2011.
If you have a car that needs retiring, we’ll recycle its parts in an environmentally responsible way, and reward you for it.

retire your ride only applies to cars that were from 1995 or earlier.
The op has a 1998.

They also have to be licensed and insured in the last 6 months. Actually it's a fairly restrictive program.
