Bradford is a hilly city of stone terraces, and most of the inner districts — Manningham, Girlington, Great Horton, West Bowling, Barkerend — mean on-street collections on slopes and narrow streets. We send the shorter truck. The outer areas — Eccleshill, Idle, Thornton, Wyke — are more mixed.

Collections are within two working days as a rule, grouped with Pudsey, Cleckheaton and Halifax. Bank transfer on the day; Certificate of Destruction from our own DVLA login.

One of our recovery trucks collecting a car — Bradford is 28 miles from the yard
Our own truck, our own driver. Bradford is 28 miles from the yard in Mexborough, so the lorry that collects is the one that takes the car back to our site.

Questions people in Bradford ask us

When could you collect from Bradford?
We are not collecting in Bradford at the moment. Call 01709 522656 and we will tell you the nearest date we can help.
Is there a collection fee in Bradford?
No. Collection is free: the quote is the amount we pay and recovery is our cost across BD1, BD2, BD3, BD4, BD5, BD6, BD7, BD8, BD9, BD10, BD11, BD12, BD13, BD14, BD15, BD18. 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.
