Royston, Carlton and the way in
Royston is a big village: terraces around the centre and Midland Road, estates on the edges, and the newer housing towards the Wakefield border. Carlton next door is similar; Athersley and Monk Bretton on the Barnsley side are estates with drives. We collect from all four at the same free collection.
Garages and non-runners
If the car is in a garage, behind a gate or has not moved for a while, mention it when you book so the right lorry and kit come. The winch costs nothing extra; a non-runner gets the small adjustment shown on your quote before you accept, and the figure does not change on the day.
Grouped with Cudworth
Royston goes out with Cudworth, Shafton and the Hemsworth side, so collections are normally within two working days. A day is chosen when you book; we ring to confirm it and whether the driver will be with you in the morning or the afternoon. The registered keeper shows photo ID and proof of address, the driver loads the car, and the transfer is sent once the car is checked in at our yard — same day for collections before 3pm, next working day after that.
Scrapped on our own site
We are the Authorised Treatment Facility: the car is depolluted and recycled at our Mexborough site, the Certificate of Destruction is issued from our own DVLA login and the DVLA is told you are no longer the keeper. MOT failures, non-runners and write-offs are priced on weight and what is left on the car, like everything else.
Questions people in Royston ask us
- How long does a Royston collection take to arrange?
- Usually within two working days, grouped with Cudworth and Hemsworth.
- Do you cover Athersley and Monk Bretton?
- Yes — they are on the way in from Barnsley and collected on the same run at the same free collection.
- Is there a charge if the car is a non-runner?
- No charge for the winch. A non-runner gets a small adjustment that is shown on the quote before you accept.
- How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Royston?
- Royston is 10 miles from our yard in Mexborough. You tell us the day that suits you when you book, and we ring to confirm the day and a morning or afternoon slot.
- Is collection in Royston really free?
- Yes. There is no collection charge anywhere in Royston (S71) and no deduction on the day. The figure on your quote is the figure paid into your bank.
- Do I need the V5C logbook?
- It helps, but you can still scrap the car without it. We check your photo ID and proof of address instead, and as an Authorised Treatment Facility we issue the Certificate of Destruction and tell the DVLA that you are no longer the keeper.
- Can I get cash for my scrap car?
- No — paying cash for scrap vehicles has been illegal in England and Wales since 2013. 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.
