Flat, easy and on the way to York
Selby is a market town of terraces and estates, flat and easy to get around, with Brayton and Thorpe Willoughby to the west, Barlby and Osgodby across the river, and the Flaxley Road and Abbots Road estates on the town side. Access is rarely a problem — most collections are from a drive or straightforward kerbside — and the A19 and A63 bring us in from Doncaster and the M62. We also cover the villages out towards Sherburn-in-Elmet, Hambleton, Riccall, Cawood and Snaith; enter your postcode and the price the site shows already allows for the run out — collection is free there too, and nothing is added on the day.
When we come
Selby collections are grouped with Goole, Howden and the Snaith side, and are usually within two working days. Pick a day when you book and we ring to confirm it and whether the driver will be with you morning or afternoon. If the car has sat for a while — flood-damaged cars are not unknown this close to the Ouse — say so and the driver brings the winch kit.
Vans and farm vehicles
The estates around Bawtry Road and the A19, and the farms and yards in the villages, send us vans and pick-ups. We collect vans up to 3.5 tonnes on the same terms as cars, weigh them properly, and can invoice a business.
The yard pays you
You are dealing with the Authorised Treatment Facility itself, not a comparison site. 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; the car goes back to our own site in Mexborough to be depolluted and recycled; the Certificate of Destruction is issued from our own DVLA login; and the DVLA is told you are no longer the keeper, which ends your liability for tax and insurance. 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 Selby ask us
- Is Selby inside your free collection area?
- Yes — Selby town and the villages around it, and collection is free. The villages further out are a longer run, and that is already allowed for in the price the site shows for your postcode; nothing is added on the day.
- Do you collect from Goole and Howden as well?
- Yes — they are on the same run as Selby, each with its own page.
- How soon can you collect in Selby?
- Usually within two working days. You pick a day when you book and we ring to confirm it and whether the driver will be with you morning or afternoon.
- How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Selby?
- Selby is 23 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 Selby really free?
- Yes. There is no collection charge anywhere in Selby (YO8) 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.
