Scrap my car in South Yorkshire
South Yorkshire is our home county. The yard is in Mexborough, in the middle of it, so Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley are all within about a dozen miles and our own lorries are out across the county every working day.

One yard, our own drivers, the whole county
We are not a call centre that sells your car on to whoever is nearest. We are an Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough — the car comes back to our own site, is depolluted and recycled here, and the Certificate of Destruction is issued by us. The price you are quoted online is the price paid into your bank while the driver is still with you.
Because everything runs from one yard, collection across South Yorkshire is free: there is no charge for the lorry, the fuel or the driver anywhere in the S, DN or Dearne Valley S6x postcodes. Most collections happen within a day or two of booking; the Dearne Valley towns around the yard — Swinton, Wath, Conisbrough, Goldthorpe, Rawmarsh — are often same day.
Where we collect
Sheffield from the city centre out to Stocksbridge, Chapeltown and Mosborough; Rotherham and every village around it, from Maltby and Dinnington to Wickersley and Rawmarsh; Doncaster and its estates — Balby, Bentley, Armthorpe, Edlington, Rossington — plus Thorne, Hatfield and Bawtry on the far side; and Barnsley with Wombwell, Hoyland, Cudworth, Penistone and the villages between. If you are anywhere in the county, we collect.
What South Yorkshire scrap cars are worth
Scrap prices move with the metal market and the car's weight, and the site works out today's figure for your exact registration. As a guide, a small hatchback is at the bottom of the range and a big diesel estate, 4x4 or van at the top; cars with the catalytic converter, wheels and battery present get the full price. The table below shows what we are paying today for typical examples, and every town page shows the same figures for its own postcodes.
Paperwork done properly
We tell the DVLA the car has been scrapped, which ends your responsibility for tax and insurance, and the Certificate of Destruction arrives by email within a few days. Lost the V5C? Not a problem — photo ID and proof of address are what the law asks us to check. And because cash for scrap cars has been illegal since 2013, everyone in South Yorkshire is paid the same way: bank transfer, on the day.

Questions people in South Yorkshire ask us
- Do you cover all of South Yorkshire?
- Yes — Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley boroughs in full, including every village and estate in between. Our yard is in Mexborough, so nothing in the county is more than about 20 miles from us.
- Is collection free everywhere in South Yorkshire?
- It is. The quote you see online is what we pay; the lorry, driver and fuel are our cost anywhere in the S and DN postcodes.
- How soon can you collect?
- Usually within a day or two. Towns close to the yard — the Dearne Valley, Rotherham and Doncaster — are often same day or next day. You pick a day when you book and we ring to confirm it and whether it will be morning or afternoon.
- Can I bring the car to your yard instead?
- Yes, if it still drives and is legal to be on the road. Ring first so we have the paperwork ready; the price is the same and you are paid by bank transfer while you wait.
