Scrap my car in Thurnscoe
Thurnscoe is the northern end of our Dearne Valley run, taking in the older village around the church, the estates towards Hickleton and the newer housing on the old colliery land. Next working day is the norm for collection here.

Terraces and semis
Thurnscoe is a mix: the old village and the terraces around Houghton Road and Lidgett Lane with on-street parking, semis with drives on the estates, and the newer builds where the pit used to be. We handle both kerbside and drive collections here every week; the only thing we need to know in advance is whether the car moves, so the right lorry comes.
Straight back down the valley
From Thurnscoe it is a direct run back through Goldthorpe and Bolton to Mexborough, so the car is on our site and depolluted the same day it is collected. We are the Authorised Treatment Facility, not a broker — the driver is ours, the yard is ours, and the price is what we actually pay.
Nothing for you to send off
We issue the Certificate of Destruction from our own DVLA login and notify them that you are no longer the keeper. Your tax and insurance liability ends with that notification, and the certificate arrives by email within a few days.
Any car, priced on what is there
A car that failed its MOT, one that has not started since spring, one the insurer wrote off — all priced the same way, on kerb weight and what is on the car, and all collected free. Lost the V5C? Photo ID and proof of address for the registered keeper are what the law asks us to check.
Questions people in Thurnscoe ask us
- How quickly can you collect from Thurnscoe?
- Usually next working day — Thurnscoe is on the daily Dearne Valley run. Pick a day when you book and we ring to confirm the slot.
- Do you cover Hickleton and the villages beyond?
- Yes. Hickleton, Clayton and the lanes towards Frickley are on the same run at the same free collection.
- What if the car will not start?
- Say so when you book and the driver brings the winch. A non-runner gets a small adjustment shown on the quote before you accept; nothing changes on the day.
- How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Thurnscoe?
- Thurnscoe is 4 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 Thurnscoe really free?
- Yes. There is no collection charge anywhere in Thurnscoe (S63) 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.
