Mirfield, Battyeford and the hill

Mirfield's centre is stone terraces around Huddersfield Road and the station, with semis and drives on the estates towards Battyeford and the newer housing along the river. Upper Hopton and the lanes up the hill are quieter, mostly drives. Access is good almost everywhere. Free collection applies to every one of them.

The Heavy Woollen run

Mirfield goes out with Dewsbury, Batley and Huddersfield, so a lorry is over this way every couple of days and two working days is the usual lead time. You choose the day, we ring to confirm it, and you are told whether to expect the driver in the morning or the afternoon.

Where and whether it rolls

Tell us where the car is and whether it moves — a car in a garage down a shared drive, or one that has sat on a hill since last year, is a normal job when the driver knows. The winch costs nothing extra. With the registered keeper's photo ID and proof of address checked, the driver loads the car, 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.

Paperwork from the yard

Depollution and recycling happen at our own Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough, the Certificate of Destruction comes from our own DVLA login, and the DVLA is told the car is no longer yours.

Our own truck, our own driver. Mirfield is 21 miles from the yard in Mexborough, so the lorry that collects is the one that takes the car back to our site.

Questions people in Mirfield ask us

How soon can you collect in Mirfield?
Usually within two working days, grouped with Dewsbury, Batley and Huddersfield.
Is Mirfield inside your free collection area?
Yes — Mirfield, Battyeford and Upper Hopton are collected free; the quote is the amount paid.
The car is in a garage down a shared drive — is that a problem?
No. Tell us when you book and the driver brings a lorry that fits and the kit to pull the car out.
How soon can you get to Mirfield?
Mirfield is only 21 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 Mirfield?
No. Collection is free — we do not charge for the truck, the driver or the fuel anywhere in WF14, 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.
