The whole borough, from the yard next door
Rotherham is our biggest patch after the Dearne Valley itself, and it is all close. The town centre, Masbrough, Eastwood, Clifton, Herringthorpe and East Dene in S60 and S65 are mostly terraces with on-street parking, and we load at the kerb there every week. Kimberworth, Greasbrough, Thorpe Hesley and Wingfield in S61 sit on the hill to the west; Rawmarsh and Parkgate in S62 are between us and the town; Brinsworth, Catcliffe, Whiston and Canklow in S60 are to the south; and Wickersley, Bramley, Hellaby, Thurcroft and Maltby in S66 are drives and cul-de-sacs on the east side, which are easier still. Thrybergh and Dalton are on our way in.
Same day, most days
We come in on the A630 from Mexborough or round the Parkway, and the run is so short that most Rotherham collections are next working day and plenty are same day. Pick a day when you book; we ring to confirm it and whether it will be morning or afternoon. If the car still drives and you would rather bring it to the yard, you can — ring first and we will have the paperwork ready.
Templeborough, Magna and the trade
The industrial estates along the Don — Templeborough, Magna, Parkgate, Hellaby — send us a steady flow of vans and fleet vehicles. We collect vans up to 3.5 tonnes free, weigh them properly, and can invoice a business. Several to clear? Ring us and we will do them as one run.
A local ATF, not a national website
Because we are a local Authorised Treatment Facility rather than a comparison site, the person you speak to is the firm that turns up. The price on your quote is what we pay, by bank transfer once the car has been checked in at our yard: same day if we collect before 3pm, next working day if later; nothing comes off it on the day unless the car is not as described. The Certificate of Destruction is issued from our own DVLA login and the DVLA is told you are no longer the keeper — so there is one firm to deal with from quote to certificate. We take MOT failures, non-runners and insurance write-offs as readily as anything else — condition affects the price, never whether we come. No V5C? Photo ID and proof of address are all the law asks us to check.
Questions people in Rotherham ask us
- How quickly can you collect in Rotherham?
- Usually next working day, and often the same day if you book in the morning — the yard is only a few miles away. You pick a day when you book and we ring to confirm the slot.
- Do you collect from the terraced streets around Masbrough and Eastwood?
- Every week. Tell us where the car is parked and whether it rolls, and the driver brings the right lorry and comes when the street is quiet.
- Can I drop the car at your yard instead?
- Yes — we are in Mexborough, ten minutes up the A630. Ring first so the paperwork is ready; the price is the same and you are paid by bank transfer while you wait.
- How soon can you get to Rotherham?
- Rotherham is only 5 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 Rotherham?
- No. Collection is free — we do not charge for the truck, the driver or the fuel anywhere in S60, S61, S62, S65, S66, 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.
