Scrap my car
in Chesterfield
Chesterfield is Derbyshire, but its S40 to S45 postcodes are worked by the same Sheffield-side collectors that cover the south of the city, plus the Derbyshire yards from the other direction. Newbold, Staveley and Brimington are among the busier districts in our records outside Yorkshire.

Two counties' worth of collectors
A Chesterfield car can be quoted by yards from north Derbyshire and by the South Yorkshire yards that come down the M1 and the A61. That is more competition than a town this size usually gets, and it shows in the price. The site checks every approved collector for your district and shows the best figure; that yard rings to arrange the day.
The town and the districts
Chesterfield town, Brampton and Walton in S40, Newbold, Whittington and Tapton in S41, Hasland, Grassmoor and Wingerworth in S42, Staveley, Brimington and Barlborough in S43, Bolsover and Clowne in S44, Clay Cross and North Wingfield in S45. The town is terraces and estates; the villages are drives; Newbold and Staveley send the most cars in our Chesterfield records.
Practicalities
Tell the collector where the car is and whether it rolls. A car in a Brampton terrace, one on a drive in Walton and one that has sat in a Staveley garage for two years are three different jobs, and the yard sends the right lorry when it knows. Vans from the trading estates off the A61 and around Staveley are priced from the registration and can be invoiced.
Licensed, paid, notified
Bank transfer to the registered keeper within 24 hours of collection; every collector is an Authorised Treatment Facility, so the Certificate of Destruction is issued and the DVLA is told you are no longer the keeper. Failed MOT, non-runner, write-off, no V5C — all still collected.
How it works
From registration to paid, in four steps
- 01
Get your price
Registration and postcode. The car is looked up on the DVLA record and priced against what the licensed yards covering your district pay today.

- 03
A local yard rings you
The licensed collector behind your price calls within two hours in the working day to fix the day, then collects for free.
- 04
Paid within 24 hours
Bank transfer to the registered keeper within 24 hours of collection. The DVLA is told and the Certificate of Destruction is emailed to you.
Reviews
What people say afterwards
Fantastic experience from enquiry through to collection. Payment made promptly and the communication was excellent. Highly recommended.
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.
Questions
What people in Chesterfield ask
Do you cover Bolsover and Clay Cross as well as the town?
Yes — S44 and S45 are priced with the rest of Chesterfield, and Newbold, Staveley and Brimington are among the districts we have collected from most in Derbyshire.
Will a Derbyshire or a Yorkshire yard collect?
Whichever approved collector pays the most for your car that day — both quote for Chesterfield. The truck is part of the price either way.
How long does a Chesterfield collection take to arrange?
Usually one to three days. The collector rings within a couple of hours of you accepting the price to agree the day.
How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Chesterfield?
Usually within one to three days. Your collector is a licensed yard local to Chesterfield, 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 Chesterfield really free?
Yes. The collector's price already includes the recovery truck, so there is nothing to pay anywhere in Chesterfield (S40, S41, S42, S43, S44, S45), 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.
