Wakefield is a city of terraces in the centre and around Agbrigg and Belle Vue, larger estates at Lupset, Eastmoor and Kettlethorpe, and pleasant suburbs at Sandal and Walton. We collect from all of it and from the villages out towards Crofton, Wrenthorpe and Alverthorpe.
The M1 at junctions 39 to 41 makes it a straightforward run and collections are usually within two working days. Vans from the trading estates around Calder Park and Thornes are common. You deal with the yard directly: real weight, bank transfer on the day, Certificate of Destruction issued from our own DVLA login.
Questions people in Wakefield ask us
- How soon can you get to Wakefield?
- Usually within 2 working days — Wakefield is only 16 miles from us in Mexborough. Pick a day when you book; we confirm whether it will be morning or afternoon the day before.
- Do you charge for collection in Wakefield?
- It is. We do not charge for the truck, the driver or the fuel anywhere in WF1, WF2, WF3, WF4, 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 while the driver is with you, or by cheque.
