Scrap my car in Swinton
Swinton is a mile from our yard, on the same side of the Dearne, so it shares Mexborough’s same-day service. Piccadilly, Kilnhurst, Warren Vale and the estates off Rotherham Road are all a few minutes away.

Half an hour, start to finish
Swinton collections rarely take more than half an hour of anyone's time. The lorry comes down from the yard, loads on the drive or at the kerb, and the car is back on our site being depolluted before the paperwork has finished printing. Because it is so close, we can usually collect the same day you book, and if the car still drives you are welcome to bring it to us instead — ring first and we will have the paperwork ready.
Every part of Swinton and Kilnhurst
We collect from all of Swinton in S64 — the town centre, Piccadilly, the older terraces off Station Street and Fitzwilliam Street, the estates off Rotherham Road and Church Street, the newer housing off Warren Vale and around the station — and from Kilnhurst down by the canal. On-street loading on the terraces is fine; we do it every week. If the car is in a garage or has not moved in a while, say so and we will bring the winch kit.
Trade
Swinton's garages and traders use us because we are next door: ring, we collect or you drop off, weighed and paid the same day, invoice if you want one. Vans up to 3.5 tonnes are taken on the same terms.
Paid the same day
You are dealing with the Authorised Treatment Facility itself. The price on your quote is what we pay, by bank transfer once the car has been checked in at our yard: same day if we collect before 3pm, next working day if later, or while you wait if you bring it to us; nothing comes off it unless the car is not as described. The Certificate of Destruction is issued from our own DVLA login and the DVLA is told you are no longer the keeper, ending your responsibility for tax and insurance. We take MOT failures, non-runners and insurance write-offs as readily as anything else — condition affects the price, never whether we come. No V5C? Photo ID and proof of address are all the law asks us to check.
Questions people in Swinton ask us
- How quickly can you collect in Swinton?
- Usually the same day. The yard is a mile away, so a Swinton pick-up is fitted in around the scheduled runs — book in the morning and ask.
- Can I drive the car to your yard from Swinton?
- Yes, if it is legal to be on the road. Ring first, drive the mile to Mexborough, and you are paid by bank transfer while you wait.
- Do you collect from Kilnhurst too?
- Yes — Kilnhurst is on the same short run as Swinton, at the same free collection.
- How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Swinton?
- Swinton is under a mile 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 Swinton really free?
- Yes. There is no collection charge anywhere in Swinton (S64) 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.
