Scrap my car in Askern

Around the lake and up the A19
Askern is terraces around the lake and Station Road, estates behind them, and the newer housing on the Doncaster side. We group it with the villages along the A19 — Norton, Campsall, Sutton, Moss and Fenwick — and a lorry is up this way most days. The roads are straightforward and there is usually somewhere to load.
Smallholdings and land
A few Askern cars are on smallholdings or land rather than a street. Tell us when you book: it changes which lorry we send, not whether we come. The winch costs nothing extra; a car that will not start gets the small non-runner adjustment shown on your quote before you accept.
The day itself
Pick your day online and we ring to confirm it, along with a morning or afternoon slot. ID and proof of address for the registered keeper are checked on the doorstep; the car goes on the lorry, and the transfer follows once the car has been checked in at our yard: same day if we collect before 3pm, next working day if later. The V5C helps but is not needed.
No third party in the paperwork
The car is depolluted and recycled at our own Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough, the Certificate of Destruction is issued from our own DVLA login, and the DVLA is told you are no longer the keeper — your tax and insurance liability ends there.
Questions people in Askern ask us
- How soon can you collect in Askern?
- Usually next working day, grouped with Adwick, Carcroft and Norton on the Doncaster north run.
- Do you cover Norton, Campsall and Moss?
- Yes — the villages along the A19 are on the same run at the same free collection.
- The car is on a smallholding — is that a problem?
- No. Say so when you book and the right lorry comes; there is no extra charge for the winch.
- When could you collect from Askern?
- We are 11 miles away in Mexborough. If you need a specific day, say so when you book and we will do our best to fit it — we ring you to confirm.
- Is there a collection fee in Askern?
- No. Collection is free: the quote is the amount we pay and recovery is our cost across DN6. The only time a figure changes is if the car turns out to be missing something you told us it had.
- Can you scrap it without the logbook?
- Yes. Photo ID and proof of address are what we are required to check; the V5C is a bonus. We are the Authorised Treatment Facility, so the Certificate of Destruction and the DVLA notification come from us either way.
- How do you pay?
- By bank transfer to the registered keeper, sent once the car has been checked in at our yard: the same day if we collect before 3pm, the next working day if later. Cash is not an option — it has been illegal for scrap vehicles since 2013.
