A South Yorkshire yard that works West Yorkshire every day
Our lorries head north most days. The Wakefield district — Wakefield itself, Hemsworth, South Elmsall, Pontefract, Featherstone, Knottingley, Castleford, Normanton and Ossett — is close enough to the yard that collections are usually booked for the next day or two, and there is no charge for the journey. Dewsbury, Mirfield, Batley, Heckmondwike and Cleckheaton follow on the same run west, with Huddersfield, Holmfirth and Brighouse beyond.
Leeds we cover from the south: Morley, Rothwell, Garforth, Middleton, Beeston, Hunslet and the LS10–LS15 estates are all regular stops. If you are in the north of the city, enter your postcode — the site tells you straight away whether there is a collection charge or not, before you accept anything.
The same deal as at home
The car comes back to our Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough, so the Certificate of Destruction is issued by us and the DVLA is told by us. The price you accept online is the price paid into your bank on the driveway; nothing comes off it on the day unless the car is not as described. We buy MOT failures, non-runners, insurance write-offs and cars that have simply been sat for years, and vans and 4x4s as well as cars.
West Yorkshire terraces and hills
A lot of West Yorkshire housing is stone terraces on steep streets with on-street parking — Dewsbury, Batley and the Colne and Holme valleys around Huddersfield especially. We collect from them every week. It helps to say when you book whether the car is on the street, on a drive or in a garage, and whether it rolls, so the driver brings the right kit and picks a time when the street is quiet.

Questions people in West Yorkshire ask us
- Which parts of West Yorkshire do you collect from?
- The whole Wakefield district, the Dewsbury and Batley area, Huddersfield, Holmfirth and Brighouse, and Leeds from the south side up to the city centre. Enter your postcode for the exact answer for your street.
- Is there a collection charge in West Yorkshire?
- For most of the county, no. Some of the furthest places carry a small charge for the distance; if yours does, it is shown separately on the quote before you accept, so the price you see is always the price you get.
- How long from booking to collection?
- Typically one to three days, depending how far you are from Mexborough. Wakefield, Pontefract and Castleford are often next day; Huddersfield and Leeds are usually within two or three.
