Scrap my car in Wickersley
Wickersley, Bramley and Flanderwell sit just off the M18 at junction 1, on the east side of Rotherham. Drives and cul-de-sacs make collections here about the simplest we do — the driver reverses on, checks your ID, loads and pays.

Twenty minutes, start to finish
This side of Rotherham is post-war and newer housing with off-street parking, so a Wickersley collection is rarely more than the lorry on the drive, the registered keeper's ID checked and the car loaded; 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. Flanderwell and Sunnyside are the same; Bramley has a few older streets around the village centre where kerbside loading is still easy.
Grouped with the motorway side
Being right by the M18 junction, we group Wickersley with Maltby, Hellaby and Bramley and usually offer next-day collection. If the car is in a garage or behind a gate, say so when you book so the driver brings the kit to pull it out.
Priced on the car, not the postcode
A Wickersley Golf and a Maltby Golf get the same price if they weigh the same and have the same parts on them: kerb weight from the registration lookup, today's metal rate, catalytic converter, wheels, battery, whether it starts. What is on the quote is what is paid — there is no broker between you and the yard.
Our yard, our certificate
The car goes to our own Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough to be depolluted and recycled, and the Certificate of Destruction is issued from our own DVLA login the same week. The DVLA is told you are no longer the keeper, which ends your tax and insurance liability.
Questions people in Wickersley ask us
- How quickly can you collect in Wickersley?
- Usually next working day, grouped with Maltby and Bramley on the Rotherham east run.
- The car is in a garage at the back of a cul-de-sac — is that a problem?
- No. Tell us when you book and the driver brings a lorry that fits and the kit to pull the car out.
- Does a newer car get more than scrap value?
- Sometimes. If the valuation suggests your car is worth more than its weight in metal — a good engine, light damage — we say so rather than quietly paying the scrap price.
- How soon can you get to Wickersley?
- Wickersley is only 5 miles from us in Mexborough. Pick a day when you book; we ring to confirm it, and whether it will be morning or afternoon.
- Do you charge for collection in Wickersley?
- No. Collection is free — we do not charge for the truck, the driver or the fuel anywhere in S66, 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 once the car is checked in at our yard — the same day for collections before 3pm, next working day after that.
