Pontefract is an old market town with terraces around the centre and the racecourse, estates at Chequerfield and Carleton Glen, and newer housing on the edges. Access is fine and collections are usually within two working days, grouped with Castleford and Knottingley.
The motorway junctions make it a quick run for us. Whatever the vehicle, it is real weight, bank transfer on the day, Certificate of Destruction from our own DVLA login.
Questions people in Pontefract ask us
- How soon can you get to Pontefract?
- Usually within 2 working days — Pontefract is only 14 miles from us in Mexborough. Pick a day when you book; we confirm whether it will be morning or afternoon the day before.
- Do you charge for collection in Pontefract?
- It is. We do not charge for the truck, the driver or the fuel anywhere in WF8, 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 while the driver is with you, or by cheque.
