Typical reasons people call us from Harringworth
Village life throws up its own kind of scrap car. In and around Harringworth we tend to hear about:
- Farm runabouts and old 4x4s that have finally stopped earning their keep.
- A car stored in an outbuilding for years that the family now wants cleared.
- A second car that failed its MOT and has been parked on the verge or drive since.
- A vehicle left behind after a relative stopped driving or passed away. We keep that kind of job calm and straightforward.
- A pickup or van from a small rural business.

Narrow lanes and the river crossing
Most of the roads into Harringworth are narrow, with a river crossing near the village and limited room to pass. That makes it a poor place to try towing a dead car with a rope. We carry out collections with trucks from Rapid Recovery Corby, George's recovery company, which has been operating for over five years. We pick the right vehicle for the lane, whether a spec lift tow truck, a tilt-and-slide transporter, or the van with dollies and skates for awkward corners.
What decides the price of a scrap car?
People searching for scrap car prices want a number, and the instant price gives you one for your own car. Behind it are a few factors:
| What we look at | Why |
|---|---|
| Weight | Scrap is priced per tonne |
| Current scrap metal price | It changes with the market |
| Make and model | Some are worth more than their weight |
| Completeness | Engine, gearbox, catalytic converter, wheels |
| Keys and V5C | Easier collection and paperwork |
| Location | Where the vehicle is |
There is more in our guide to how scrap car prices work. Your price holds as long as the car is as you described. If not, such as a catalytic converter that has gone, we tell you why before we load and you can turn it down.
Paperwork in plain terms
The law requires us to check the seller's name and address. On the day, please have photo ID (a driving licence or passport), proof of address, the V5C logbook if you have it, and the keys. Keep the yellow "selling to the motor trade" slip from the V5C.
Lost the logbook? You can still sell with proof of ID and ownership. If you have a private number plate, retain or transfer it through the DVLA before we collect, because a scrapped car takes its plate with it.
Legal, licensed and paid by bank transfer
We pay instantly by bank transfer when we collect. Cash payments for scrap cars are illegal under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. We hold a waste carrier licence and a scrap metal collector's licence. Each car goes to an Authorised Treatment Facility, which issues a Certificate of Destruction and informs the DVLA, and any full months of tax are refunded automatically.
We also cover the neighbouring villages of Gretton, Bulwick, Deenethorpe and Caldecott.
