Scrap my car in Darfield
Darfield is on the A635 between Wombwell and Goldthorpe, a village of terraces and semis on the hill above the Dearne. Collections go out with the Dearne Valley run — next working day as a rule, often sooner.

On the hill above the river
Darfield sits on the slope between the A635 and the Dearne: terraces around Church Street and Snape Hill, semis on the estates, and the newer houses off the main road. Access is straightforward, but a few streets are steep. If the car is on one of them, say so and we bring the hill kit — a car with no handbrake on a slope is routine for us when we know.
Next day, often sooner
Darfield is minutes from Wombwell and Goldthorpe and on the daily Dearne run, so a lorry is nearby most days. You choose the day, we ring to confirm it, and you are told whether to expect the driver in the morning or the afternoon. The driver checks photo ID and proof of address for the registered keeper, loads up, and the payment follows once the car is checked in at our yard — same day for collections before 3pm, next working day after that.
Dealing with the yard itself
There is no comparison site or broker in the chain. The price is built from the car's real weight, today's scrap rate and what is on it, and it is what we pay. If the car drives, you can bring it to Mexborough — a ten-minute run down the valley — and be paid while you wait.
Certificate from our own DVLA login
The car is depolluted and recycled at our Authorised Treatment Facility, the Certificate of Destruction is issued by us within days, and the DVLA is told you are no longer the keeper. MOT failures, non-runners and write-offs are priced the same way as anything else.
Questions people in Darfield ask us
- How quickly can you collect in Darfield?
- Usually next working day and often sooner — Darfield is on the daily Dearne Valley run.
- The car is on a steep street — can you still take it?
- Yes. Say so when you book and the driver brings the hill kit and the winch; it does not change the price.
- Do you cover Low Valley and Middlecliffe?
- Yes — both are on the same run as Darfield at the same free collection.
- When could you collect from Darfield?
- We are 5 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 Darfield?
- No. Collection is free: the quote is the amount we pay and recovery is our cost across S73. 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.
