Estates and villages
Garforth is post-war and newer estates with drives on both sides of the main street, and the older terraces around the station. Kippax is a former pit village of terraces and estates on the hill; Swillington is a village by the river; Allerton Bywater and Ledston are nearby. Every part of it gets free collection.
Grouped with Castleford
Garforth is on the way between Castleford and east Leeds, so it goes out with both and a lorry is up every couple of days. The M1 and the A1(M) make it a quick run from the yard. Pick the day online, and we ring to confirm it and whether the driver will be with you before or after lunch.
What we need to know
Where the car is, and whether it moves. A car on a Kippax slope with seized brakes needs the winch, which costs nothing extra — only the small non-runner adjustment shown on the quote before you accept. The driver checks the registered keeper's photo ID and proof of address, loads it, 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.
The last mile is ours
Everything after the collection happens at our own Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough: the car is depolluted and recycled, the Certificate of Destruction is issued from our own DVLA login, and the DVLA is told you are no longer the keeper. Non-runners, MOT failures, write-offs and cars without a V5C are collected on the same basis.
Questions people in Garforth ask us
- How soon can you collect in Garforth?
- Usually within two working days, grouped with Castleford and east Leeds.
- Do you cover Kippax and Swillington?
- Yes — Garforth, Kippax, Swillington, Allerton Bywater and Ledston are on the same run at the same free collection.
- Is Garforth inside your free collection area?
- Yes. The quote is the amount paid into your bank; there is no distance charge.
- How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Garforth?
- Garforth is 21 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 Garforth really free?
- Yes. There is no collection charge anywhere in Garforth (LS25) 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.
