The village and its neighbours
Eckington's centre is older streets around the church and Market Street with kerbside parking; the estates off Southgate and towards Mosborough are drives. Renishaw and Marsh Lane are small and quiet, mostly drives and lanes. We collect from all of it, grouped with Killamarsh, Mosborough and Staveley.
Getting to you
The A57 and the Sheffield Parkway make it a reasonable run from Mexborough, and a lorry is on this side every couple of days. The day is yours to pick when you book; we phone to confirm it and give you a morning or afternoon slot. Tell us whether the car moves and where it is parked, and the right lorry comes.
What the car is worth
Its actual kerb weight from the registration lookup, today's scrap metal rate and what is on it — catalytic converter, wheels, battery, whether it starts. That is the figure paid into the registered keeper's bank once the car is checked in at our yard — same day for collections before 3pm, next working day after that, with nothing taken off for a middleman.
Done at our own yard
The car is depolluted and recycled on our own site in Mexborough — we are the Authorised Treatment Facility — and the Certificate of Destruction is issued from our own DVLA login, with the DVLA told you are no longer the keeper. Write-offs, MOT failures, non-runners and cars with no V5C are all collected.
Questions people in Eckington ask us
- How soon can you collect in Eckington?
- Usually within two working days, grouped with Killamarsh, Mosborough and Staveley.
- Is Eckington inside your free collection area?
- Yes. The Derbyshire edge of Sheffield is collected free; the quote is the amount paid.
- Do you cover Renishaw and Marsh Lane?
- Yes, both, on the same run at the same free collection.
- When could you collect from Eckington?
- We are 13 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 Eckington?
- No. Collection is free: the quote is the amount we pay and recovery is our cost across S21. 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.
