Scrap my car in Stocksbridge
Stocksbridge and Deepcar are up the Don valley past Sheffield towards the moors. The valley is narrow and the housing climbs its sides, so we send the shorter lorry where the roads need it — and collect within two working days as a rule.

A narrow valley
Stocksbridge runs along the bottom of the valley by the old steelworks, and the streets climb steeply on either side: terraces and semis on the hill above Manchester Road, the estates towards Deepcar, and Bolsterstone up on the ridge. Tight turns and steep drives are the norm, which is why we ask where the car is when you book and choose the lorry to suit.
Grouped with north Sheffield
Stocksbridge goes out with the north Sheffield run through Chapeltown, Oughtibridge and Wharncliffe Side, so a lorry is up the valley every couple of days. Say which day suits when you book and we ring to confirm it and whether the driver will arrive in the morning or the afternoon.
What the driver needs
Photo ID and proof of address for the registered keeper, the keys, and the V5C if you have it — it helps but is not required. He checks the car against what you told us, loads it, and 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. A car that will not roll on a slope needs mentioning in advance so the winch comes; there is no charge for it.
Yard, certificate, DVLA
The car is depolluted and recycled at our own Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough. We issue the Certificate of Destruction from our own DVLA login and tell the DVLA you are no longer the keeper.
Questions people in Stocksbridge ask us
- Will the lorry get up the steep streets in Stocksbridge?
- Yes — we send the shorter lorry where the roads need it. Tell us the street and whether the car rolls when you book.
- How soon can you collect?
- Usually within two working days, grouped with the north Sheffield run through Chapeltown and Oughtibridge.
- Do you cover Deepcar and Bolsterstone?
- Yes — Stocksbridge, Deepcar, Bolsterstone and the lanes above them are all on the same run at the same free collection.
- How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Stocksbridge?
- Stocksbridge is 12 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 Stocksbridge really free?
- Yes. There is no collection charge anywhere in Stocksbridge (S36) 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.
