The Spen Valley towns
Heckmondwike is the market town in the middle: terraces around the green and the High Street, estates on the hill towards Norristhorpe. Liversedge runs up the valley to the north with Roberttown, Littletown and Hightown on the slopes above. Narrow streets and kerbside parking are the norm, so the shorter lorry comes and we pick a quiet time. Tell us the street and whether the car rolls.
We pass every couple of days
Heckmondwike goes out with Batley, Cleckheaton and Dewsbury, so a lorry is in the valley every couple of days. Book the day you want and we confirm it by phone, morning or afternoon.
The same standard everywhere
The driver checks the keeper's ID and proof of address and that the car is as described, then loads it, and the bank transfer follows once the car has been checked in at our yard: same day if we collect before 3pm, next working day if later. The V5C helps but is not needed; a car that will not roll on a slope just needs mentioning in advance and the winch costs nothing extra.
Yard and certificate, both ours
We are the Authorised Treatment Facility: the car is depolluted and recycled at our Mexborough site, the Certificate of Destruction is issued from our own DVLA login and the DVLA is told you are no longer the keeper. Whether it has failed its MOT, stopped starting, been written off or lost its logbook, we still collect it.
Questions people in Heckmondwike ask us
- How soon can you collect in Heckmondwike?
- Usually within two working days, grouped with Batley, Cleckheaton and Dewsbury.
- Do you cover Liversedge, Norristhorpe and Roberttown?
- Yes — the Spen Valley towns are on the same run at the same free collection.
- Is the price affected by how far you are from Mexborough?
- No. Heckmondwike and Liversedge are inside our free collection area; the price is built from the car, not the distance.
- How soon can you get to Heckmondwike?
- Heckmondwike is only 22 miles from us in Mexborough. Pick a day when you book; we ring to confirm it, and whether it will be morning or afternoon.
- Do you charge for collection in Heckmondwike?
- No. Collection is free — we do not charge for the truck, the driver or the fuel anywhere in WF16, and nothing comes off the price on the day unless the car is not as described.
- What if I have lost the V5C?
- You can still scrap the car. The law asks us to check who you are, not to see the logbook, so photo ID and proof of address are what matter. We issue the Certificate of Destruction and update the DVLA record ourselves.
- Do you pay cash?
- No, and nobody legally can: the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 bans cash for scrap vehicles. 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.
