Scrap my car in Cudworth
Cudworth, Shafton and Grimethorpe are north-east of Barnsley on our run with Royston and Hemsworth. Colliery villages of terraces and estates, plus the newer builds on the old pit sites — and usually next-day collection.

Three pit villages
Cudworth is terraces along Barnsley Road and the streets off it, with estates behind; Shafton is smaller; Grimethorpe is the old colliery village with the newer housing on the pit site and Brierley beyond. On-street parking is normal in all three and we load at the kerb without trouble. Tell us the street and whether the car rolls and the right lorry comes.
Vans and pick-ups
The units around the Grimethorpe and Shafton industrial areas and the Park Springs side send us vans and pick-ups regularly. A light van — anything to 3.5 tonnes — is priced from its registration, collected at no charge, and invoiced if the business wants one.
Next working day
Cudworth is grouped with Royston, Carlton and the Hemsworth side and a lorry is up this way most days. Book the day you want and we confirm it by phone, morning or afternoon. A quick check of the registered keeper's photo ID and proof of address, the car goes on, and the bank transfer follows once the car is checked in at our yard — same day for collections before 3pm, next working day after that.
Handled at our own ATF
Depollution and recycling happen at our own Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough, the Certificate of Destruction comes from our own DVLA login, and the DVLA is told the car is no longer yours. MOT failures, non-runners, write-offs and cars without a V5C are all collected.
Questions people in Cudworth ask us
- How quickly can you collect in Cudworth?
- Usually next working day, grouped with Royston and the Hemsworth side.
- Do you cover Grimethorpe and Brierley?
- Yes — Cudworth, Shafton, Grimethorpe and Brierley are on the same run at the same free collection.
- Can a business scrap several vans at once?
- Yes. Each is priced from its registration, collected free on one run, and invoiced to the business.
- How soon can you get to Cudworth?
- Cudworth is only 8 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 Cudworth?
- No. Collection is free — we do not charge for the truck, the driver or the fuel anywhere in S72, 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.
