Alfreton is a small town of terraces and estates, with Somercotes, Riddings and Swanwick around it and the motorway close by. We collect from all of them, usually within two working days, grouped with Sutton and Chesterfield.
The process is the same as for a Rotherham collection: real weight, ID checked, bank transfer once the car is checked in at our yard (same day for collections before 3pm, next working day after that), Certificate of Destruction from our own DVLA login.

Questions people in Alfreton ask us
- How soon can you get to Alfreton?
- Alfreton is only 27 miles from us in Mexborough. Pick a day when you book; we ring to confirm it, and whether it will be morning or afternoon.
- Do you charge for collection in Alfreton?
- No. Collection is free — we do not charge for the truck, the driver or the fuel anywhere in DE55, and nothing comes off the price on the day unless the car is not as described.
- What if I have lost the V5C?
- You can still scrap the car. The law asks us to check who you are, not to see the logbook, so photo ID and proof of address are what matter. We issue the Certificate of Destruction and update the DVLA record ourselves.
- Do you pay cash?
- No, and nobody legally can: the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 bans cash for scrap vehicles. We pay by bank transfer to the registered keeper once the car is checked in at our yard — the same day for collections before 3pm, next working day after that.
