How to Get Rid of a Jet Ski

Whether you just want to upgrade to a newer model or the watercraft has experienced too much wear and tear, it may be time for you to finally get rid of your jet ski. As is the case with most used items, there are a number of different ways you can go about getting rid of a jet ski in a safe and responsible manner.

Instructions

- 1
  Sell the jet ski. Regardless of whether or not it is still in working order, someone may be willing to pay for the craft as a whole or for just some of the parts. Use the Internet to research similar units and determine a fair value. Once you have determined a price, place ads in local newspapers, trade papers and online to gauge interest.
- 2
  Donate the jet ski to a good cause. While this will not give you the same financial return as selling it, there are a number of charities that would accept the jet ski and use it to help those in need. Many organizations also offer tax breaks and an IRS-deductible receipt for your donation.
- 3
  Dispose of the jet ski using environmentally-friendly recycling services. There are various organizations located throughout the country that will take the jet ski and strip it of the motor, battery, gas tank and other non-biodegradable parts, then use the rest to help make other green products.
