Where Yorkshire meets Nottinghamshire
Dinnington is nearer to Worksop than to Rotherham town, and the network reflects that: S25 cars are quoted by collectors from both directions. The site shows the highest figure and that yard sends the lorry, usually within one to two working days.
The town and the villages
Dinnington is a former pit town of terraces and estates, with the newer housing off Laughton Road and the retail side at the top of town. Anston is semis and drives along the A57, Laughton a village, Thurcroft estates to the north. All of it is flat and easy to reach; kerbside loading in the Dinnington terraces is routine.
What arrives from S25
Family cars at the end of their MOT life, the odd 4x4 from the villages, and vans from the units at the Dinnington side of the A57. All priced from the registration, all collected free; vans up to 3.5 tonnes can be invoiced to a business.
The paperwork
Bank transfer to the registered keeper within 24 hours of collection; the 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 or no V5C — the collection still happens.

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 Dinnington ask
Do you cover Anston and Thurcroft as well?
Yes — North Anston, South Anston, Laughton and Thurcroft share S25 with Dinnington and are priced together.
Will the collector come from Rotherham or Worksop?
Whichever approved yard pays the most for your car that day; both sides quote for S25. Either way the truck is part of the price and the collector rings to arrange the day.
Does a 4x4 get a better price?
Usually, because it weighs more. Scrap value is weight first; a Freelander or a Qashqai sits well above a small hatchback in the table.
How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Dinnington?
Usually within one to three days. Your collector is a licensed yard local to Dinnington, 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 Dinnington really free?
Yes. The collector's price already includes the recovery truck, so there is nothing to pay anywhere in Dinnington (S25), 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.
