Three villages in a row
South Elmsall is the terraces around Barnsley Road and the station, with estates behind; South Kirkby is the same pattern a mile west; Upton sits on the hill to the south; Moorthorpe fills the gap. Kerbside loading in the terraces is routine and the estates are drives. There is no charge to collect from any of it.
Dale Lane and the trade
The Dale Lane industrial estate and the units towards the A1 send us vans and pick-ups. Vans of up to 3.5 tonnes are priced from the registration like a car, picked up free, and invoiced to the firm.
A quick run
The A1 and the A638 make South Elmsall a quick trip from the yard, and it is grouped with Hemsworth and Adwick, so next working day is the norm. Name a day when you book and we phone to confirm it and which half of the day the driver will arrive. Before the lorry leaves the driver has checked the registered keeper's photo ID and proof of address and loaded the car; the bank transfer follows once the car has been checked in at our yard: same day if we collect before 3pm, next working day if later.
The DVLA side, done by us
Back in Mexborough the car is depolluted and recycled at our own 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. Failed MOT, non-runner, write-off or lost V5C — all still collected.
Questions people in South Elmsall ask us
- How soon can you collect in South Elmsall?
- Usually next working day — the A1 makes it a quick run, grouped with Hemsworth and Adwick.
- Do you cover South Kirkby, Upton and Moorthorpe?
- Yes — all four villages are on the same run at the same free collection.
- Do you take vans from Dale Lane?
- Yes. Light vans are priced from the registration, collected free and invoiced to the business if you want it for the books.
- How soon can you get to South Elmsall?
- South Elmsall is only 8 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 South Elmsall?
- No. Collection is free — we do not charge for the truck, the driver or the fuel anywhere in WF9, 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.
