On the daily run
Our lorries go through Wombwell most days on the way between the Dearne Valley towns and Barnsley, which is why it is one of the quickest places we collect from. We cover all of S73: the terraces around the High Street, Park Street and Station Road, the estates towards the Dearne at Kingsmark and off Barnsley Road, the newer housing at Wombwell Wood and Hemingfield, and Darfield, Low Valley, Brampton and Broomhill alongside. Darfield has its own page; the rest is on this one.
Kerbside is normal
Wombwell has a fair bit of on-street parking, and we collect at the kerb here routinely. We know which streets need the shorter lorry and which are fine for the big one. Tell us where the car is, whether it rolls, and whether there is a garage or shared drive involved, and the driver comes prepared.
Trade in the Dearne
The trading estates around Wombwell, Darfield and the Dearne Valley Parkway send us vans and fleet vehicles regularly. We collect vans up to 3.5 tonnes at the same free collection, weigh them properly at the yard, and can invoice a business.
Same afternoon
Because it is so close, a Wombwell collection is usually next day and often the same day if you book in the morning. The car is back on our site being depolluted the same afternoon, payment is by bank transfer once the car has been checked in at our yard (same day if we collect before 3pm, next working day if later), and the Certificate of Destruction is issued from our own DVLA login. We tell the DVLA you are no longer the keeper. If the car drives, you can bring it to the yard in Mexborough instead — ring first. We take MOT failures, non-runners and insurance write-offs as readily as anything else — condition affects the price, never whether we come. No V5C? Photo ID and proof of address are all the law asks us to check.
Questions people in Wombwell ask us
- Can you collect from Wombwell today?
- Often. It is on our daily Dearne run, six miles from the yard, so book in the morning and ask — if a lorry is passing we will fit you in.
- Do you cover Darfield, Hemingfield and Brampton?
- Yes — all on the same run, all free collection. Darfield has its own page; Hemingfield, Brampton and Low Valley are covered here.
- Is there a collection charge in Wombwell?
- No. The quote you see online is the amount paid into your bank.
- How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Wombwell?
- Wombwell is 5 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 Wombwell really free?
- Yes. There is no collection charge anywhere in Wombwell (S73) 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.
