Scrap my car
in Dewsbury
Dewsbury and the Heavy Woollen towns around it — Batley, Mirfield, Heckmondwike, Liversedge and Cleckheaton — are quoted together, because the same collectors work all of them. Batley in WF17 and Dewsbury in WF12 are the two busiest districts here in our records.

Six towns, one run
Dewsbury itself splits into WF12 — Thornhill, Savile Town, Earlsheaton, Chickenley, Shaw Cross — and WF13 — Ravensthorpe, Dewsbury Moor, Westtown, Staincliffe. Mirfield is WF14, Liversedge WF15, Heckmondwike WF16 and Batley with Birstall WF17. A collector covering one of those almost always covers the rest, so wherever you are in the district, the price is built from the same handful of local yards competing for the car.
Narrow streets, short lorries
The Heavy Woollen towns are dense: terraces on hills, narrow streets, cars parked nose to tail. The yards that take these jobs send the shorter lorry and come when the street is quiet. Tell us the street, whether the car rolls and whether there is a permit scheme, and they plan around it.
Taxis, vans and the trade
Dewsbury's taxi trade retires a steady stream of high-mileage cars through the network, and the estates along Bretton Street, Mill Street and the Thornhill Road side send vans. Both are priced from the registration; vans up to 3.5 tonnes go at the same free collection and a business can be invoiced.
The same standard as everywhere
The registered keeper is paid by bank transfer within 24 hours of collection. Because the yard is an Authorised Treatment Facility, it issues the Certificate of Destruction itself and the DVLA closes your keeper record. MOT failures, non-runners, write-offs and cars without a V5C are all taken; condition changes the price, not the answer.
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.
- 02
Book it
Tell us where the car is and what suits you. It takes under a minute, with no account and no haggling.
- 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
So very easy , a few clicks , a phone call and all was taken care of. I treated my self with a take away the same night. Also best price I found and I compared 😂
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!
Questions
What people in Dewsbury ask
Do you collect from Batley and Mirfield as well as Dewsbury?
Yes — Batley, Birstall, Mirfield, Heckmondwike, Liversedge and Cleckheaton are all priced with Dewsbury, by the same collectors. Batley is one of the busiest districts in our West Yorkshire records.
The car is on a narrow terraced street in Savile Town — will the lorry get in?
The collectors that cover Dewsbury send a shorter lorry to exactly those streets. Give the street name when you book and the driver comes at a quiet time.
Can I scrap a retired taxi through you?
Yes. A high-mileage car is priced on its weight and what is on it, like any other; the mileage does not lower the scrap figure. Plate and licence paperwork are the council's business, not the yard's.
How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Dewsbury?
Usually within one to three days. Your collector is a licensed yard local to Dewsbury, 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 Dewsbury really free?
Yes. The collector's price already includes the recovery truck, so there is nothing to pay anywhere in Dewsbury (WF12, WF13, WF14, WF15, WF16, WF17), 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.
