Scrap my car in Stainforth
Stainforth sits on the Stainforth and Keadby Canal north-east of Doncaster, a colliery-era village of terraces and estates. Collections go out with Hatfield and Thorne, usually within two working days, and kerbside loading is the norm.

Terraces and the canal
Stainforth is terraces around Church Road and the Station Road side, colliery-era estates behind, and a lot of on-street parking. We load at the kerb here regularly. The canal bridges and the level crossing can hold the lorry up at busy times, so we tend to book Stainforth collections mid-morning or early afternoon and tell you which when we ring.
Two working days
Stainforth, Hatfield and Thorne are grouped on the east run and a lorry is out this way every couple of days. Pick a day when you book; we ring to confirm it and the slot. Once the driver has seen the registered keeper's photo ID and proof of address the car is loaded, and the bank transfer follows once the car is checked in at our yard — same day for collections before 3pm, next working day after that.
Whatever the vehicle
The price is built from the car's real kerb weight, today's scrap metal rate and what is on it, with a small adjustment if it does not start or roll — shown on the quote before you accept. A car that has sat by the canal since last winter is a normal job when we know in advance; the winch costs nothing extra.
Back at the yard
The car is depolluted and recycled at our Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough and the Certificate of Destruction is issued from our own DVLA login. We notify the DVLA that the car is no longer yours. MOT failures, non-runners, write-offs and cars without a V5C all go the same way.
Questions people in Stainforth ask us
- Why do you book Stainforth collections mid-morning?
- The canal bridges and the level crossing slow the lorry at busy times. Mid-morning or early afternoon keeps the collection quick; we tell you the slot when we ring.
- How long from booking to collection?
- Usually within two working days, grouped with Hatfield and Thorne.
- Is kerbside collection a problem in the terraces?
- No — it is how most Stainforth cars are collected. Tell us the street and whether the car rolls.
- How soon can you get to Stainforth?
- Stainforth is only 14 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 Stainforth?
- No. Collection is free — we do not charge for the truck, the driver or the fuel anywhere in DN7, 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.
