Scrap my car in Worksop
Worksop is across the Nottinghamshire border on the A57, a proper town with terraces near the centre and the canal, big estates at Kilton and Manton, and the Dukeries villages around it. We cover the lot, usually within two working days.

S80 and S81
Worksop's centre and the canal side are terraces with on-street parking; Kilton and Manton are large estates; the newer housing is on the edges. Rhodesia and Shireoaks are villages to the west; Carlton-in-Lindrick, Costhorpe and Langold run north up the A60 in S81. We collect from all of it at the same free collection, and kerbside loading in the older streets is routine.
The industrial side
Worksop's trading estates — Sandy Lane, Claylands, the Dukeries side — send us vans every week. Vans to 3.5 tonnes go on the same terms as cars: a price from the registration, free collection, an invoice on request.
Grouped with Dinnington and Retford
It is a longer run, so Worksop goes out with Dinnington and Retford and a lorry is over the border every couple of days. You name the day when you book and we confirm it by phone, along with a morning or afternoon window. Photo ID and proof of address are checked against the registered keeper, the car is loaded, and the money is sent once the car has been checked in at our yard: same day if we collect before 3pm, next working day if later.
The DVLA hears from us
The car is depolluted and recycled at our own Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough, and the Certificate of Destruction is issued by us with the DVLA told you are no longer the keeper. Failed MOT, non-runner, write-off or lost V5C — priced on weight and what is left, collected the same way.

Questions people in Worksop ask us
- Is Worksop inside your free collection area?
- Yes — Worksop, Rhodesia, Shireoaks and the villages up the A60 to Langold are collected free.
- How long does a Worksop collection take to arrange?
- Usually within two working days, grouped with Dinnington and Retford.
- Do you take vans from the Worksop trading estates?
- Yes. A van is priced from its registration like a car, collected free, and we can invoice the business.
- How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Worksop?
- Worksop is 15 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 Worksop really free?
- Yes. There is no collection charge anywhere in Worksop (S80, S81) 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.
