Scrap my car in West Yorkshire

Several yards, one best price

Enter a WF or HD postcode and the site prices your car against every approved collector covering it — yards in West Yorkshire itself and the South Yorkshire yards that run north up the M1 and A1 every day — and shows you the highest. Accept it and that yard rings you to arrange the day.

Wakefield, the Five Towns and the Heavy Woollen district

Wakefield, Pontefract, Castleford, Knottingley, Featherstone and Normanton are the core of it, with Hemsworth and South Elmsall to the south and Ossett to the west. Dewsbury, Batley, Mirfield and Cleckheaton follow, then Huddersfield and the valleys. The town pages below carry our own figures for each: how many cars have been collected there and what a typical one fetched recently.

Terraces, hills and narrow streets

Much of the county is stone terraces on slopes with on-street parking — the Heavy Woollen towns and the Huddersfield valleys especially. The yards that work it collect from those streets every week; it helps to say when you book whether the car is on the street, on a drive or in a garage, and whether it rolls, so the right lorry is sent at a quiet time.

The same standard everywhere

Every collector is an Authorised Treatment Facility: the car is depolluted and recycled properly, the Certificate of Destruction is issued, the DVLA is told you are no longer the keeper, and the registered keeper is paid by bank transfer within 24 hours of collection. MOT failures, non-runners, damaged cars and vans are all priced the same way.
