Scrap van collection in East Carlton
Vans earn their keep until the day they do not. For tradespeople and small businesses based in and around East Carlton, just west of Corby, that day usually comes with a big repair bill or a failed MOT. If you want to scrap a van in East Carlton, we buy it as it is and collect it free.
We Buy Scrap Cars Corby takes vans up to 3.5 tonnes, from small car-derived vans to long-wheelbase panel vans, Lutons and pickups. We pay by bank transfer as the van is loaded.
Vans we buy
| Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Small vans | Car-derived and compact panel vans |
| Panel vans | Short, medium and long-wheelbase |
| Lutons | Box vans up to 3.5 tonnes |
| Pickups | Single and double cab, 4x4 pickups |
| Fleet vans | Ex-fleet and business vans |
Running or not, MOT or not, damaged or not. If it is over 3.5 tonnes, it is outside what we buy.
Why vans get scrapped
Vans cover hard miles and carry heavy loads, so wear builds up. The usual tipping points are:
- Rust on the chassis or structural parts at MOT time.
- A clutch or gearbox that has given up.
- A head gasket failure.
- High mileage, where the next repair costs more than the van is worth.
- A replacement van arriving and the old one having nowhere to go.
Our guide to scrap or repair can help if you are undecided.
Clear the van before collection
Please empty the van of tools, materials and stock before we come. Look through the cab, door pockets, under the seats, the load area and any racking. Take out trackers or dashcams you want to keep, and cancel any fuel cards, toll or parking accounts linked to the registration.
If there is a private plate on the van, transfer or retain it with the DVLA before collection, or it will be lost.
How much is my scrap van worth?
There is no set figure. Vans are generally heavier than cars, and because scrap is priced per tonne, weight is the biggest factor. The scrap metal price, make and model, completeness (engine, gearbox, catalytic converter and wheels), keys and V5C, and location all play a part.
Enter the registration and postcode on our get a price page and you will see your price on screen. It stands as long as the van is complete and as described. If something is different on the day, we explain before we load and you can say no. See our scrap van cost guide and our guide on how scrap car prices work.
Collecting from yards and business premises
We collect from drives, roadsides, yards and business premises. Our collections run on the recovery trucks of our sister company, Rapid Recovery Corby, so a van that will not start or move can still be loaded. If you have more than one vehicle to go, some trucks carry one and tow another.
We agree a collection time that suits you when we call, so the old van can go when it fits around your work.
Paperwork for business vans
We must check the seller's name and address, so have photo ID and proof of address ready. If the van belongs to a business, have the V5C and confirm who is authorised to sell it.
Every van 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. Payment is by bank transfer, because cash payments for scrap vehicles are illegal under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.
Not just trade vans
It is not only businesses that scrap vans. We also collect old camper conversion projects that never got finished, vans used for hobbies or moving house, and pickups that have done years of towing. If it is a van or pickup up to 3.5 tonnes, the process is the same. Get your instant price, accept it, and we book the collection with you.
