Dense, hilly and mostly on the street
Dewsbury is terraces on hills, narrow streets and a lot of on-street parking, and we send the shorter lorry to most of it. Savile Town, Thornhill Lees, Earlsheaton, Chickenley and Shaw Cross in WF12 sit to the south and east; Ravensthorpe, Dewsbury Moor, Westtown and Staincliffe in WF13 to the west and north; Thornhill is up the hill to the south. Tell us the street and whether the car rolls and the driver comes at a quiet time with the winch kit if it is needed. We collect from drives and garages just as happily, and from the newer estates on the edges.
Batley, Mirfield and the rest of the district
Dewsbury collections are grouped with Batley, Birstall, Heckmondwike, Cleckheaton and Mirfield, so we are in the Heavy Woollen district most weeks. Each of those towns has its own page; all are free collection. Pick a day when you book and we ring to confirm it and whether the driver will be with you morning or afternoon — usually within two working days.
Vans and taxis
The trading estates around Mill Street, Bretton Street and the Thornhill Road side send us vans, and the town's taxi trade sends us its retired cars. We collect vans up to 3.5 tonnes at the same free collection, weigh everything properly at the yard, and can invoice a business.
The yard pays you directly
There is nobody between you and the Authorised Treatment Facility: the price on your quote is what we pay, by bank transfer once the car is checked in at our yard (same day for collections before 3pm, next working day after that), and nothing comes off it on the day unless the car is not as described. The car is depolluted and recycled at our own site in Mexborough, the Certificate of Destruction is issued from our own DVLA login, and the DVLA is told you are no longer the keeper. We take MOT failures, non-runners and insurance write-offs as readily as anything else — condition affects the price, never whether we come. No V5C? Photo ID and proof of address are all the law asks us to check.
Questions people in Dewsbury ask us
- The car is on a narrow terraced street in Savile Town — will the lorry get in?
- Yes. We send the shorter lorry to most of Dewsbury for exactly that reason. Tell us the street and the driver comes at a quiet time.
- Do you collect from Batley and Mirfield as well?
- Yes — they are on the same run as Dewsbury, each with its own page, all free collection. Enter your postcode for today’s price.
- How long does a Dewsbury collection take to arrange?
- Usually within two working days. You pick a day when you book, we ring to confirm the slot, and you are paid by bank transfer once the car is checked in at our yard — same day for collections before 3pm, next working day after that.
- How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Dewsbury?
- Dewsbury is 20 miles from our yard in Mexborough. You tell us the day that suits you when you book, and we ring to confirm the day and a morning or afternoon slot.
- Is collection in Dewsbury really free?
- Yes. There is no collection charge anywhere in Dewsbury (WF12, WF13) and no deduction on the day. The figure on your quote is the figure paid into your bank.
- Do I need the V5C logbook?
- It helps, but you can still scrap the car without it. We check your photo ID and proof of address instead, and as an Authorised Treatment Facility we issue the Certificate of Destruction and tell the DVLA that you are no longer the keeper.
- Can I get cash for my scrap car?
- No — paying cash for scrap vehicles has been illegal in England and Wales since 2013. 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.
