Scrap my car
in Chapeltown
Chapeltown and the S35 villages — Ecclesfield, High Green, Grenoside, Burncross, Thorpe Hesley — sit right on the M1 between Sheffield and Barnsley, which makes them easy for collectors from either city. S35 is one of the busier districts in our Sheffield records.

Off junction 35
Chapeltown is minutes from the motorway, so both the Sheffield yards and the Barnsley-side yards can quote for it without the price carrying any distance. The site shows the best figure any approved collector offers for the car and that yard collects, typically next working day.
The villages
Chapeltown itself is the town centre terraces and the estates off Station Road and Lound Side; Ecclesfield and Burncross to the south, High Green to the north, Grenoside up the hill to the west and Thorpe Hesley across towards Rotherham. Mostly drives and semis, with some steep streets at Grenoside and High Green where a car that will not roll needs the winch — mention it when you book.
Cars from the north of the city
S35 sends family cars that have reached the end and the odd van from the units along the A61 and around Smithy Wood. Each is priced from the registration; MOT failures, non-runners, damaged cars and vans up to 3.5 tonnes go at the same free collection.
Licensed and closed off
Payment is by bank transfer to the registered keeper within 24 hours of collection. The Certificate of Destruction comes from the collecting yard — an Authorised Treatment Facility — and the DVLA is notified that the car is no longer yours. No V5C? Photo ID and proof of address are what the yard needs.
How it works

Reviews
What people say afterwards
Highly professional and recommendable from start to finish. Collected my vehicle and paid within a few hours, and the collection driver was absolutely brilliant. Can’t recommend them enough and if I ever have to scrap a car again won’t hesitate to use them. Paid the best price too!
Great customer service and very professional. They made the whole experience easy as I had never done anything like this before and contacted me promptly to arrange collection. I received a great price for the car too. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely hassle free just as advertised. Quick service, fast pay. Peace of mind.
Questions
What people in Chapeltown ask
Is High Green covered?
Yes — Chapeltown, Ecclesfield, High Green, Grenoside, Burncross and Thorpe Hesley share S35 and are priced together.
Will a Sheffield yard or a Barnsley yard collect?
Whichever approved collector pays the most for your car that day. Chapeltown is close to both, which is good for the price.
How is the price decided?
From the car — kerb weight from the registration lookup, today's metal rate, whether it starts and rolls, and what is on it — and then from which collector bids highest for your district.
How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Chapeltown?
Usually within one to three days. Your collector is a licensed yard local to Chapeltown, so once you accept the price they ring you — normally within a couple of hours — to agree a day, and again before setting off.
Is collection in Chapeltown really free?
Yes. The collector's price already includes the recovery truck, so there is nothing to pay anywhere in Chapeltown (S35), and the figure you accept is the figure paid into your bank.
Do I need the V5C logbook?
It helps, but you can still scrap the car without it. The collector checks your photo ID and proof of address instead, and because every yard on the network is an Authorised Treatment Facility, the Certificate of Destruction is issued and the DVLA is told 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, and in Scotland since 2016. Your collector pays by bank transfer to the registered keeper within 24 hours of collection.
