Planning around the parking
Goldthorpe's streets are mostly terraced and busy — Doncaster Road, Barnsley Road and the rows off them — so we plan collections around the parking. A car on the main road gets a quieter time of day; a car on a back street with tight corners gets the shorter lorry. Say where it is when you book and we sort the rest.
The industrial side
We also collect from the units towards the Dearne Valley Parkway and the Goldthorpe industrial estate, where vans and pick-ups come from. A van up to 3.5 tonnes is priced from its registration like a car, collected free, and invoiced to the business if you want it.
What the price is based on
Not a guess: the car's actual kerb weight from the registration lookup, today's scrap metal rate, and what is on it — catalytic converter, wheels, battery — with a small adjustment if it does not start or roll. The figure on the quote 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.
From our own yard
Goldthorpe cars are back on our site in Mexborough and depolluted within hours of collection. We issue the Certificate of Destruction from our own DVLA login within days and tell the DVLA you are no longer the keeper, so your tax and insurance liability ends there. MOT failures, non-runners and cars without a V5C are all taken.
Questions people in Goldthorpe ask us
- The car is on Doncaster Road — will the lorry cause a problem?
- No. We pick a quiet time for main-road collections and are in and out in ten minutes. Tell us the street when you book.
- How is a Goldthorpe car priced?
- On its real kerb weight, today's scrap rate and what is on it. The quote is the amount paid into your bank; it only changes if the car is not as described.
- Do you take vans from the industrial estate?
- Yes — vans up to 3.5 tonnes, priced from the registration, collected free, and invoiced to the business if needed.
- How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Goldthorpe?
- Goldthorpe is 3 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 Goldthorpe really free?
- Yes. There is no collection charge anywhere in Goldthorpe (S63) 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.
