Donate a boat trailer
A spare trailer left over after you sold a boat, or the trailer that goes with the boat you are donating. We accept bunk, roller, pontoon, and PWC trailers in usable condition, on their own or with a boat.
Trailers we accept
Is my trailer worth donating?
A trailer on its own is worth donating when it is roadworthy or close to it: a straight frame, working lights or easily fixed ones, tires that hold air, and no heavy rust through the frame or axle.
Galvanized and aluminum trailers usually hold value well. Larger tandem trailers and pontoon trailers are in steady demand.
Small, older painted trailers with heavy rust usually cost more to move than they sell for. If yours is in that category, we will tell you, and a local scrap yard may be the better option.
Not sure? Call (888) 228-7320 and describe it. That is often the fastest answer.
How pickup works for trailers
Trailers are simple pickups. A few things help. Pickup is free, and timing depends on both sides' availability: sometimes a couple of days, sometimes a couple of weeks.
Paperwork for a boat trailer
Trailer rules vary more than boat rules. Some states title trailers, some only register them, and some do not require either for small trailers. Your state guide explains the rules where you live.
If the trailer came with a boat and never had its own paperwork, tell us. That is common, and we will work through it.
State-by-state rules are in our state guides. Lost the title? Read donating a boat without a title.
The tax deduction
A trailer donated with a boat is usually included in the boat's sale and paperwork. A trailer donated on its own is its own item and follows the same general rules.
See the tax guide for how items that sell for $500 or less are handled.
We do not provide tax or legal advice. Consult your own advisor.

EZ Loader, Shoreland'r, Karavan, Load Rite, Venture, Magic Tilt, Continental, Triton, Yacht Club, Tow-Rite, and custom and manufacturer-branded trailers.
Not on the list? It is here to help you find your boat, not to limit what we take. We accept every make and model of boat trailer, listed or not, including rare builders and companies that closed decades ago. A donation depends on the boat's condition and paperwork, never the name on the hull, so enter yours on the form even if you do not see it here.
Boat trailer donation questions
Can I donate just a trailer without a boat?
Yes, if it is roadworthy or close to it. Galvanized, aluminum, tandem, and pontoon trailers in usable condition are all good donations.
My trailer never had a title. Is that a problem?
Not always. Some states do not title smaller trailers. We will tell you what your state requires and how to handle it.
I am donating my boat but want to keep the trailer. Can I?
Yes. Let us know, and the transporter will bring a trailer. It can affect the sale price, so we will mention that on the call.
