A Corby-based scrap car buyer on your doorstep
Scrap car collection in East Carlton is close to home for us. We Buy Scrap Cars Corby is run by George Mitchell from Corby, and East Carlton sits just to the west of the town, between Corby, Cottingham and Wilbarston. Most people know the village for East Carlton Countryside Park, but it is also a place where people live, park and eventually need to part with an old car.
We buy scrap and unwanted cars, vans up to 3.5 tonnes, 4x4s and pickups. Any age, make or model. Collection is free and we pay by bank transfer as the vehicle is loaded.
Why do East Carlton cars end up scrapped?
The reasons are rarely dramatic. A car fails its MOT on rust or a clutch and the bill does not make sense. A second car stops being needed and sits on the drive. A garage holds a car that someone always meant to restore. Or a family is sorting out a relative's affairs and needs a car moved respectfully and properly.
Being so close to Corby, we hear from East Carlton households about the same kinds of jobs we see across the town, just with quieter roads and more space around them.
Getting your price in a couple of minutes
We built the process around an instant online price. Here is how it works:
- Enter your registration and postcode on our get a price page.
- See your price on screen.
- Accept it and add your contact details.

Prefer to talk? Ring or WhatsApp 07598 314366. Either way, we agree a collection time that suits you. Same-day collection is often possible, though we never promise it.
What decides the price of a scrap car in East Carlton?
We do not publish typical prices, because they would not be accurate for your car. These are the things that count:
| Factor | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Vehicle weight | Scrap metal is priced per tonne |
| Scrap metal price | It changes with the market |
| Make and model | Some vehicles are worth more than others |
| Complete car | Engine, gearbox, catalytic converter and wheels all add value |
| Keys and V5C | Help the sale go smoothly |
| Where it is | Location affects the collection |
Once you accept, the price stands as long as the car is complete and as described. If something is different on the day, such as a missing catalytic converter, we explain why before we load and you can say no. Our guide to how scrap car prices work explains this in more depth.
Trucks that suit the job
Collections are carried out with our own trucks through our sister company, Rapid Recovery Corby. That means spec lift tow trucks, beavertail tilt-and-slide transporters, and a van with dollies and skates for low garages and seized wheels. Some of our trucks carry one car and tow another, so two vehicles can go in one trip.
Paid by bank transfer, never cash
The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 makes it illegal to pay cash for scrap metal, including scrap cars. A buyer offering cash is breaking the law. We pay instantly by bank transfer at collection.
What to have ready
- Photo ID, such as a driving licence or passport.
- Proof of address.
- The V5C logbook if you have it, keeping the yellow slip.
- Keys, if you have them.
Each car goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, which issues a Certificate of Destruction and notifies the DVLA. We hold a waste carrier licence and a scrap metal collector's licence. For the full process, read how to scrap a car.
