Booking scrap car collection in Great Easton
Scrap car collection in Great Easton starts online. Enter the registration and postcode on our get a price page, and see the figure straight away. If you accept, add your name and number and we call to fix a collection time that works for you. There is no charge for collection.
Great Easton is a Leicestershire village on the far side of the Welland valley from Rockingham and Cottingham. Being across the county line makes no difference to how we work. We collect here as readily as we do in Corby.
Car scrappers who bring their own trucks
Some scrap yards rely on outside hauliers. We do not. Every collection is made with our own recovery trucks, run by George's recovery company, Rapid Recovery Corby. That gives us a choice of spec lift tow trucks, beavertail tilt-and-slide transporters and a van with dollies and skates.
This matters in a valley village. Lanes around Great Easton are narrow, and some of the low roads can flood after heavy rain. We pick the truck to suit the lane, and if a road is under water we arrange the collection for when it is safe.
Reasons people scrap a car here
- The car is old and the household no longer needs it.
- It has failed its MOT and repairs would cost too much.
- It has sat in a garage, barn or outbuilding for years.
- It belonged to someone who has stopped driving or passed away, and the family needs it moved.
- A farm or smallholding runaround has reached the end of its working life.
We are happy to help in each case. If you are sorting a relative's car, we keep things calm and practical, and explain each step.
How much is a scrap car worth in Great Easton?
There is no single answer, because each car is different. A scrap price is built from:
| Factor | Effect on the price |
|---|---|
| Weight | Heavier cars contain more metal |
| Scrap metal price | Moves up and down with the market |
| Make and model | Some cars are worth more than their weight |
| Complete or stripped | Missing engine, gearbox, catalytic converter or wheels lowers it |
| Keys and V5C | Both help |
| Where it is | Your postcode is part of the price |
Read our scrap car collection cost guide and our guide on how scrap car prices work for the detail. If the car is not as described when we arrive, we explain why before loading and you can turn it down.
A legal sale, paid by bank transfer
We pay instantly by bank transfer at collection. You may still see adverts offering cash for cars, but the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 makes cash payments for scrap cars illegal. By law we also have to check the seller's name and address, so please have photo ID (driving licence or passport) and proof of address ready.
Getting the car ready
- Take out personal belongings. Check the glovebox, door pockets, boot and under the spare wheel.
- Remove dashcams, sat navs and parking permits.
- Cancel any toll or parking accounts linked to the registration.
- Keep any private plate by transferring or retaining it with the DVLA before collection.
- Find the V5C and keys.
What happens after the car leaves
The car goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility. Only an ATF can legally scrap a car. It issues a Certificate of Destruction, normally within 7 days, and tells the DVLA. Keep the certificate as proof you are no longer responsible for the vehicle. Any full months of tax are refunded automatically, and you should cancel the insurance yourself.
Two cars at one address
If you have more than one car to clear, tell us. Some of our trucks carry one car and tow a second, so both can often go in a single visit. Each car gets its own price, and the paperwork is handled for each.
