Town and estate

Normanton is terraces around the High Street and the station, estates towards Altofts and the Castleford side, and the newer housing off Wakefield Road. Altofts is semis and drives by the river. Kerbside loading in the terraces is routine; the estates are a five-minute load on the drive. It is all free collection, wherever the car stands.

The distribution parks

Normanton Industrial Estate and the parks around junction 31 send us vans and fleet cars every week. We price each vehicle from its registration, collect from the premises and invoice the company. Fleet clear-outs are welcome — ring and we do them in one run.

Grouped with Wakefield

Normanton goes out with Wakefield, Castleford and Featherstone, so a lorry is nearby most days and two working days is the usual lead time. Choose the day that suits when you book, and we call to confirm it and say whether the driver will be with you before or after midday. The driver checks the registered keeper's photo ID and proof of address and 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.

Keeper record closed by us

The car is depolluted and recycled at our Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough, and the Certificate of Destruction is issued by us with the DVLA told you are no longer the keeper. MOT failures, non-runners and write-offs are priced the same way as anything else.

Our own truck, our own driver. Normanton is 15 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 Normanton ask us

How soon can you collect in Normanton?
Usually within two working days, grouped with Wakefield, Castleford and Featherstone.
Do you collect from businesses on Normanton Industrial Estate?
Yes. Each vehicle is priced from its registration, collected free, and invoiced to the company.
Is Altofts covered?
Yes — Normanton and Altofts are collected together at the same free collection.
How soon can you get to Normanton?
Normanton is only 15 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 Normanton?
No. Collection is free — we do not charge for the truck, the driver or the fuel anywhere in WF6, 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.
