The town and its lanes

Tickhill is mostly older houses and newer estates with drives, with a few narrow streets around the centre, the castle and the Buttercross. We collect from all of it, and from the surrounding villages — Wadworth, Stainton on the Maltby side, and out towards Harworth and Bircotes. A car on a farm or down a lane just needs mentioning when you book so the right lorry comes.

Grouped with Bawtry

Tickhill collections go out with Bawtry, Rossington and Harworth, so a lorry is on this side every couple of days. Name a day when you book and we phone to confirm it and which half of the day the driver will arrive. Photo ID and proof of address for the registered keeper are checked, the car is loaded, 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.

Priced properly

The quote is built from the car's real kerb weight, today's scrap metal rate and what is on it. Cars from Tickhill are often well-kept older models, and if the valuation suggests one is worth more than scrap we say so rather than quietly paying the metal price.

Back to our own yard

Depolluted and recycled at our Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough; Certificate of Destruction issued from our own DVLA login; DVLA told you are no longer the keeper. MOT failures, non-runners and cars without a V5C are all collected.

Our own truck, our own driver. Tickhill is 9 miles from the yard in Mexborough, so the lorry that collects is the one that takes the car back to our site.

Questions people in Tickhill ask us

How long does a Tickhill collection take to arrange?
Usually within two working days, grouped with Bawtry and Rossington. We phone to confirm the day.
Do you cover Wadworth and the villages?
Yes — Wadworth, Stainton and the lanes towards Harworth are on the same run at the same free collection.
Will a well-kept older car get more than scrap?
Possibly. If the valuation suggests it is worth more than its weight in metal, we tell you rather than paying scrap for a car with a good engine in it.
How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Tickhill?
Tickhill is 9 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 Tickhill really free?
Yes. There is no collection charge anywhere in Tickhill (DN11) 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.
