Scrap car collection in Middleton, near Corby

Rapid Recovery offers scrap car collection in Middleton with no collection charge. We buy scrap and unwanted cars, vans and motorbikes, pay you by bank transfer and deal with the vehicle the legal way.

We hold a waste carrier licence and a scrap metal collector's licence. Each vehicle goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), which issues the Certificate of Destruction and notifies the DVLA.

Old cars in a small village

In a village like Middleton, an old car can sit on a drive, in a garage or at the side of a house for months or even years. It might be a car that failed its MOT, one left behind after a family member stopped driving, or one damaged after sliding off the A427. Whatever the story, we can take it away.

We take:

• Non-runners.
• Cars with no MOT.
• Accident-damaged cars.
• Vans and motorbikes.
• Cars with no V5C logbook, if you can show proof of ID.

How much will I get for my scrap car in Middleton?

Collection is always free. See our scrap car cost guide for more on pricing.

Bank transfer only, by law

The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 bans cash payments for scrap metal, and that includes scrap cars. We always pay by bank transfer, which also gives you a clear record of the sale.

Your road tax refund

Once the DVLA knows the car has been scrapped, it automatically refunds any full months of vehicle tax left. You don't need to apply.

Cars that haven't moved in years

Cars that have stood for a long time often have flat tyres, seized brakes or wheels that won't turn. That is no problem. Our van with dollies and skates lets us move a stuck car out of a garage or off a gravel drive and onto the truck, without dragging it across your property. Tell us about gateways, walls or tight corners when you book so we bring the right kit.

After an accident on the A427

If your car has been damaged on the A427 and isn't worth repairing, we can collect it for scrap. If we have already recovered it to our secure storage yard, we can arrange the scrap from there, saving another trip.

Clearing a car for a family member

We are often asked to collect a car after an older relative has given up driving, or when a house is being cleared. If you are handling things on someone else's behalf, tell us when you call. We can arrange a collection time when someone can be at the property with the keys and paperwork, and the payment goes by bank transfer to the person selling the car. The ATF still issues the Certificate of Destruction and tells the DVLA, so the car is properly closed off.

What to have ready

• The V5C logbook, or proof of ID if you don't have it.
• All the keys.
• Personal items cleared from the car, including the boot and glovebox.
• Your bank details for payment.
• Any private plate transferred off first if you want to keep it.

Scrap, repair or sell?

If you aren't sure whether your car is worth repairing, we can take it to a garage for an opinion using breakdown recovery in Middleton. If you have found a buyer, we can deliver it with car transport in Middleton. If it is time to scrap it, we will collect.

We are PAS 43 accredited and ISO 9001 certified, and we treat every vehicle with care, even one heading for scrap. We also offer scrap car collection in Cottingham and scrap car collection in Corby. All our local services are on the Middleton area page.
