On everyone's route
The collectors that work the Dearne Valley pass through Wombwell most days on the way to Barnsley, and the Barnsley-side yards come the other way. That is why S73 collections are quick: the lorry is usually already nearby. The site shows the best price any approved collector will pay for your car today, and that yard collects — next working day is normal, same day is common.
Wombwell, Darfield and the valley
Wombwell is terraces around the High Street, Park Street and Station Road, estates towards the Dearne at Kingsmark and off Barnsley Road, and newer housing at Wombwell Wood and Hemingfield. Darfield, Low Valley, Brampton and Broomhill sit alongside. Kerbside loading in the terraces is routine and the collectors know which streets need the shorter lorry.
Trade from the Parkway
The units along the Dearne Valley Parkway and around Wombwell and Darfield send vans regularly. Vans up to 3.5 tonnes are priced from the registration, collected free and invoiced if the business wants it.
Paid on the street, paperwork from the yard
The registered keeper is paid by bank transfer within 24 hours of collection. Every collector is an Authorised Treatment Facility: the car is depolluted and recycled, 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 — none of it stops the collection.

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 Wombwell ask
Does Wombwell include Darfield and Hemingfield?
Yes — Wombwell, Darfield, Hemingfield, Low Valley and Brampton share S73 and are priced together.
Which yard will come?
Whichever approved collector pays the most for your car in S73 that day — a Dearne Valley yard or a Barnsley one. You are told who it is when you accept, and they ring you to arrange the day.
Can I be collected the same day?
Often. S73 is on the daily runs of the Dearne collectors; accept the price in the morning and ask when the yard rings.
How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Wombwell?
Usually within one to three days. Your collector is a licensed yard local to Wombwell, 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 Wombwell really free?
Yes. The collector's price already includes the recovery truck, so there is nothing to pay anywhere in Wombwell (S73), 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.
