Canal, river and motorway
Knottingley is terraces along the Aire and Calder canal and the A645, estates behind, and the older village around the church. Ferrybridge to the west is the power station side and the old bridge over the Aire; Brotherton and Fairburn are across it. The A1 and M62 junction makes access easy from the yard. Wherever the car is among them, collection is free.
Vans from the estates
Knottingley's industrial estates — the glassworks side, the chemical works, the units along the canal — send us vans regularly. Any van up to 3.5 tonnes is quoted from the registration, collected free, and the company gets an invoice if it needs one.
The Five Towns run
Knottingley goes out with Pontefract, Castleford and Featherstone, so a lorry is up this way most days. Pick your day online and we ring to confirm it, along with a morning or afternoon slot. Once the registered keeper's photo ID and proof of address are checked the car is loaded, 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 yard does the rest
Depolluted and recycled at our Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough; Certificate of Destruction issued from our own DVLA login; DVLA told you are no longer the keeper. Failed MOT, non-runner, write-off or lost V5C — the collection still happens and the price is on weight and what is left on the car.
Questions people in Knottingley ask us
- How soon can you collect in Knottingley?
- Usually within two working days, grouped with Pontefract and Castleford on the Five Towns run.
- Is Ferrybridge covered?
- Yes — Knottingley, Ferrybridge, Brotherton and Fairburn are on the same run at the same free collection.
- Do you take vans from the industrial estates?
- Yes — same terms as a car: priced from the registration, free collection, invoice for the business.
- When could you collect from Knottingley?
- We are 15 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 Knottingley?
- No. Collection is free: the quote is the amount we pay and recovery is our cost across WF11. 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.
