The town and the park

Shirebrook is terraces around the market place and Station Road, estates on the edges, and Brook Park — the distribution park built on the colliery site — which sends us vans every week. Warsop, Church Warsop and Meden Vale across the border are older streets and estates. The collection is free to all of them.

Vans from the distribution side

A business van up to 3.5 tonnes is priced from its registration, collected free, and we raise an invoice if it is wanted. Fleet clear-outs are welcome — ring and we do them in one run.

Grouped with Mansfield and Bolsover

Shirebrook is a proper drive from Mexborough, so it goes out with Mansfield, Bolsover and Clowne and a lorry is down every couple of days. Choose a day when you book; we ring to confirm it and say whether the driver will be with you in the morning or the afternoon. The driver's routine is the same everywhere: registered keeper's photo ID and proof of address, car on the lorry, bank transfer sent once the car has been checked in at our yard: same day if we collect before 3pm, next working day if later.

Processed in Mexborough

The car is depolluted and recycled at our Mexborough yard, which is the Authorised Treatment Facility; 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.

Questions people in Shirebrook ask us

Is Shirebrook inside your free collection area?
Shirebrook and Warsop are at the edge of it. Enter your postcode — for the addresses further out the longer run is already allowed for in the price the site shows, and nothing is added on the day.
How long does a Shirebrook collection take to arrange?
Usually within two working days, grouped with Mansfield and Bolsover.
Do you take vans from Brook Park?
Yes — enter the van's registration for a price, collection is free, and we invoice the company on request.
How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Shirebrook?
Shirebrook is 20 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 Shirebrook really free?
Yes. There is no collection charge anywhere in Shirebrook (NG20) 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.
