Scrap my car in Brighouse
Brighouse and Rastrick are on the Calder by the M62 at the western edge of our area. Brighouse is a small town of terraces and semis with reasonable access; Rastrick climbs the hill to the south. We collect from both, and from Clifton and Hipperholme, usually within two working days.

The town and the hill
Brighouse is terraces around the town centre and the canal basin, semis on the estates towards the river, and the newer housing on the Huddersfield side. Rastrick climbs steeply above it — terraces and semis on the hill with some tight streets — and Clifton and Hipperholme are villages either side. Tell us where the car is and whether it rolls, and the right lorry comes.
Junction 25
The M62 makes Brighouse a manageable run from Mexborough, and it is grouped with Huddersfield and the Spen Valley. Say which day suits when you book and we ring to confirm it and whether the driver will arrive in the morning or the afternoon.
What the driver does
Checks the registered keeper's photo ID and proof of address, checks the car against what you told us, loads it, and the bank 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 logbook is a bonus, not a requirement. A car on a Rastrick slope with seized brakes just needs mentioning in advance and the winch costs nothing extra.
After the lorry leaves
At our Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough the car is depolluted and recycled; the Certificate of Destruction comes from our own DVLA login and the DVLA is informed that you are no longer the keeper.
Questions people in Brighouse ask us
- Is Brighouse inside your free collection area?
- It is at the western edge. Enter the postcode: for the outlying addresses the longer run is already allowed for in the price the site shows, and nothing is added on the day.
- How soon can you collect in Brighouse?
- Usually within two working days, grouped with Huddersfield and the Spen Valley.
- Do you cover Rastrick, Clifton and Hipperholme?
- Yes — all are on the same run as Brighouse.
- When could you collect from Brighouse?
- We are not collecting in Brighouse at the moment. Call 01709 522656 and we will tell you the nearest date we can help.
- Is there a collection fee in Brighouse?
- No. Collection is free: the quote is the amount we pay and recovery is our cost across HD6. 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.
