Loretta
“Your driver was amazing, the van hadn't moved for over 15 years, everything was seized up, but he didn't stop until it was moving again. The man deserves praise.”

Scrapping vans in Greater Manchester
Greater Manchester has one of the densest concentrations of commercial van use outside London, the M60 orbital and the M62 corridor feed a logistics, construction, and trades economy that puts high mileage on vans quickly. When those vans reach the end of their working life, the scrap and salvage market is active and competitive.
We collect from all ten Greater Manchester boroughs. Whether the van is at a business address in Trafford Park, a residential street in Salford, or a yard in Stockport, we'll come to it.
Manchester's Clean Air Zone, what you need to know
Greater Manchester's Clean Air Zone has been subject to repeated delays, but the government's direction of travel is clear: older diesel vans will face daily charges in the region's core. Pre-2016 diesel vans that aren't ULEZ-equivalent are already losing used-market value in anticipation.
If you're holding a non-compliant van and waiting to see what happens with the CAZ, the math currently runs against waiting. Scrap values today are at reasonable levels; any active CAZ will further narrow the buyers willing to pay a premium for older diesel vans in the region.
Scrap or salvage?
Not every van in Manchester coming off the road is economically best served by crushing. If the engine runs, the gearbox is serviceable, and the body panels are in reasonable shape, the salvage network may pay above scrap. We price both simultaneously, you get the higher of the two.
Scrapping a van in Manchester, common questions
Do you collect scrap vans from across Greater Manchester?
+
Yes, Manchester city centre, Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Oldham, Rochdale, Bolton, Bury, Tameside, and Wigan. Enter your postcode for confirmation.
What will I get for a high-mileage Transit that's failed its MOT in Manchester?
+
Depends on the van's condition, enter the reg for an actual number. Failed-MOT Transits typically come back as a salvage offer well above scrap weight, provided the engine and drivetrain are still intact.
Is there a Clean Air Zone charge in Manchester that affects my van's value?
+
Greater Manchester's CAZ has been delayed but remains in planning. For now there's no active daily charge in the region, but the direction of travel is towards tighter emissions rules. Pre-2016 diesels are worth more today than they will be once a zone is operational.
Will you scrap a van without a V5 in Manchester?
+
Yes, we can proceed without the V5 if you're the registered keeper. Bring ID at collection and we'll handle the rest.
How long does collection take in the Greater Manchester area?
+
Usually 24–48 hours from accepting the offer. We'll confirm a 2-hour collection window by text.
