Scrap my car in Doncaster
Doncaster is about seven miles from our yard, so we are in and out of the town every working day — Bessacarr, Balby, Bentley, Armthorpe, Wheatley, Intake and everywhere between. Book in the morning and there is a fair chance we collect the same day.

Our second home
Doncaster is the patch we know as well as our own valley. The town centre and the older streets — Hyde Park, Hexthorpe and Balby in DN4, Wheatley and Intake in DN2 — mean kerbside loading, which we do daily. Bessacarr, Cantley and Lakeside are drives and easy. Bentley, Scawsby, Cusworth, Sprotbrough and Toll Bar in DN5 sit on the north side; Armthorpe, Kirk Sandall, Edenthorpe and Barnby Dun in DN3 on the east. Further out we cover Edlington, Warmsworth and Conisbrough on our way in, Rossington and Tickhill to the south, Hatfield, Stainforth and Thorne to the north-east, and Bawtry on the Nottinghamshire border — all on their own pages, all free collection.
Same day is often possible
We come in along the A630 from Conisbrough or down the A1(M) for the north side, and because the run is so short a Doncaster collection can usually be slotted between the scheduled jobs. Next working day is normal; same day is common if you book in the morning. Pick a day when you book and we ring to confirm it and whether it will be morning or afternoon.
Vans, fleet and trade
The trading estates around Wheatley Hall Road, Kirk Sandall, the iPort and the airport side send us a steady stream of vans and fleet vehicles. We collect vans up to 3.5 tonnes free, weigh them properly at the yard, and can invoice a business for the books. If you have several to clear, ring us and we will do them as one run.
Straight from the yard
You are dealing with the Authorised Treatment Facility itself: the price is what we can actually pay for the car, the driver is ours, payment is by bank transfer once the car is checked in at our yard (same day for collections before 3pm, next working day after that), and the Certificate of Destruction is issued from our own DVLA login. We tell the DVLA you are no longer the keeper, which ends your liability for tax and insurance, and the certificate arrives by email within a few days. Lost the V5C? Photo ID and proof of address are all the law asks us to check. We take MOT failures, non-runners and insurance write-offs as readily as anything else — condition affects the price, never whether we come.
Questions people in Doncaster ask us
- Can you collect from Doncaster today?
- Often, yes — we are seven miles away and in the town most days. Book before mid-morning and ask; if there is a lorry passing we will fit you in, otherwise it will be the next working day.
- Do you cover the villages around Doncaster too?
- All of them, at the same free collection: Armthorpe, Edlington, Rossington, Tickhill, Bawtry, Askern, Adwick, Hatfield, Stainforth and Thorne each have their own page with the postcodes and today’s prices.
- I have a van from a Doncaster trading estate — do you take vans?
- Yes, up to 3.5 tonnes, at the same free collection. The quote comes from the registration like a car and we can invoice your business if you need it for the books.
- How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Doncaster?
- Doncaster is 7 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 Doncaster really free?
- Yes. There is no collection charge anywhere in Doncaster (DN1, DN2, DN3, DN4, DN5) 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.
