What it costs to scrap your caravan
Scrapping a caravan is a service you pay for, and there is no free collection. These are the real figures, so you know where you stand before you get in touch.
Touring caravan — towable
Wheels on, and sound enough to survive the tow
- Collected whole and towed away
- Needs its wheels and a chassis that will hold together
- Figure confirmed from your photos, not on the day
Touring caravan — not towable
Rotten, holed, no wheels, or unsafe for the road
- Broken up where it stands, or lifted onto a tow bed
- Either way it is the same job — it is being scrapped
- Damp, rot and structural damage are all fine
- Skip not included — you hire your own, 6–8 yards
Static caravan
Dismantled on site and the waste taken away
- Full on-site dismantling, clearance and disposal
- Size, access and condition set the final figure
- We never buy static caravans, whatever the condition
Every figure is confirmed from your photos before anything is booked, so nothing changes on the day. Send clear pictures including the damage — a caravan described as towable that turns out not to be is the single most common reason a quote has to be redone. We are always heavily booked: book within 24 hours of your quote or you may be waiting several weeks for a collection date.

How scrapping a caravan works in Basingstoke
Getting rid of an old caravan can feel harder than it should. Whether it is sitting unused on a driveway in Chineham, taking up paid storage space, or simply beyond repair, caravan disposal in Basingstoke is usually much easier once you know the process.
Scrap My Caravan collects and scraps touring caravans, damaged units and static caravans across Basingstoke and the wider Hampshire area. There are three prices, and which one you pay comes down to whether the caravan can still be towed.
- A towable tourer is £350–£450, collected whole.
- A tourer that will not tow is £500–£850, broken up where it stands or lifted onto a tow bed.
- A static is £1,800–£3,980, dismantled on site with the waste taken away.
Send clear photos of the caravan first, damage included. The figure is confirmed from those pictures, so nothing changes on the day. We are heavily booked most weeks, so book within 24 hours of your quote or you may be waiting several weeks for a collection date.
Quick Answer: How Caravan Scrapping Works in Basingstoke
Every job starts with a quick assessment. We look at:
- condition
- access
- size
- location
- whether the caravan can still move safely
Whatever the caravan's condition, this is a priced removal service — we don't buy caravans or make cash offers. Your quote is confirmed before collection, and it is confirmed from your photos rather than guessed at over the phone.
Caravan Removal and Disposal Across Basingstoke and Hampshire
Caravan disposal is not always just a case of towing it away and waving goodbye.
A touring caravan parked on a driveway in Basingstoke is usually straightforward. A static caravan tucked behind fencing with poor access is a different story entirely. Access, weight, tyres, and structural condition all affect removal planning.
Basingstoke sits on the M3 between junctions 6 and 7, with the A33 running north towards Reading and the A339 west to Newbury, so most of the town is quick to reach with a tow vehicle. The jobs that need planning are the older streets around Old Basing and the narrow lanes out towards Kingsclere, Overton and Hannington. A tow bed needs room to turn, and plenty of village driveways do not have it. Tell us where the caravan is parked and we will tell you which method we would use.
We collect across:
- Basingstoke
- surrounding Hampshire areas
- storage sites
- holiday parks
- residential properties
What Types of Caravans Can Be Scrapped?
Age and condition are not the problem. What they change is the price and the method.
Touring caravans
Older touring caravans are commonly scrapped due to damp, accident damage, failed floors, or expensive repairs. If yours still has its wheels and a chassis that will hold together for the tow, it is £350–£450 to collect whole.
Static caravans
Static caravan removal in Basingstoke often requires additional planning because of transport size and site access. We break statics up where they stand and take the waste away, which runs £1,800–£3,980 depending on size, access and condition. If we are allowed to burn the wood on site, that drops by a few hundred pounds. We never buy a static, whatever the condition.
Damaged and non-running caravans
A caravan that can no longer be towed is not a problem, just a different job. It gets broken up where it stands, or lifted onto a tow bed, and that is £500–£850. Damp, rot, a missing axle and a floor that has given way are all fine. The skip is not included — you hire your own, 6–8 yards.
Can You Scrap a Caravan for Free?
No. Scrapping a caravan is a service you pay for, and there is no free collection.
Elsewhere you may see free disposal offered based on what the caravan still holds:
- salvage value
- reusable components
- scrap metal value
Whatever the age or condition, collection is a priced service; we do not collect for free or make payments. Our rates are the cheapest in the UK, but they are still rates: £350–£450 for a towable tourer, £500–£850 if it has to be broken up, £1,800–£3,980 for a static. A very old, stripped or hard-to-reach caravan costs more to deal with, not less, because it takes more work to get it out.
That is why honest assessments matter. Promises of “free removal guaranteed” are not always realistic once access and condition are checked properly.
What Affects the Cost of Scrapping a Caravan?
Several things influence the cost of removal:
- Age
- Structural condition
- Damp damage
- Chassis condition
- Whether it will still tow safely
- Ease of collection
- Static or touring model
A sound tourer that can be hitched up and pulled off a Basingstoke driveway is a very different job from a collapsed static that has not moved in twenty years. The first is one vehicle and an hour. The second is a day on site with a crew, and the waste to take away afterwards.
The single most common reason a quote has to be redone is a caravan described as towable that turns out not to be — the wheels have gone, the floor has given way, or the walls would not survive the journey. Send clear pictures including the damage and we will price it right the first time.
How the Collection Process Works
Four stages, and you hear from us at each one.
1. Initial assessment
We check the basic details, including your photos, model type, and location. That is what the price is built from, which is why clear pictures of the damage matter more than anything you can tell us over the phone.
2. Collection planning
The removal method depends on access and whether the caravan can still move safely. A tow off a driveway in Chineham is straightforward. A static behind a gate on a village lane near Kingsclere needs a plan before anyone sets off.
3. Removal and disposal
The caravan is collected, dismantled, recycled, or processed depending on condition, and the materials are sorted at a licensed site rather than tipped.
4. Completion
Once removed, the space can finally be used for something more useful than storing a slowly dissolving caravan. The paperwork, including the waste transfer note, is handled for you.
Why Owners in Basingstoke Choose Scrap My Caravan
People usually want three things:
- a simple process
- clear communication
- no surprises halfway through
Scrap My Caravan focuses on practical caravan disposal without overcomplicating things. Whether the caravan is damaged, unwanted, or simply uneconomical to repair, the aim is to make removal straightforward.
One check is worth making whoever you use: make sure the operator is a registered waste carrier before you let them take the caravan away. Anyone can search the Environment Agency's public register at no cost. If a caravan is fly-tipped after it leaves your drive, the paperwork is what protects you.
If the caravan is not in Basingstoke itself, the main scrap my caravan page explains the service in full.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I scrap my caravan near me?
Send us photos and a few details about condition and access, plus the postcode it is parked at. We come back with a fixed price, usually within the hour, and book a collection date that suits you.
What does it cost to scrap a caravan in Basingstoke?
There are three tiers. A towable tourer is £350–£450, collected whole. A tourer that will not tow is £500–£850, broken up where it stands or lifted onto a tow bed — the skip is not included, you hire your own, 6–8 yards. A static is £1,800–£3,980. Ours are the cheapest rates in the UK, and the final figure depends on condition and access.
Do you remove static caravans?
Yes. We break statics up on site and take the waste away, which runs £1,800–£3,980 depending on size, access and site restrictions. If we are allowed to burn the wood on site, the price drops by a few hundred pounds.
Can I get cash for my caravan?
No. We do not buy caravans and we do not pay for them — scrapping is a service you pay us for. The one rare exception is a caravan in top condition, from the year 2000 onwards, with no more than minor damp, and even then it is never something we can promise before seeing photos.
My caravan has no wheels and the floor has gone. Will you still take it?
Yes. Damp, rot, a missing axle and a collapsed floor are all fine. They just move the job into the £500–£850 tier, because it has to be broken up where it stands or lifted onto a tow bed instead of towed away whole.
Why do you need photos before quoting?
Because a caravan described as towable that turns out not to be is the single most common reason a quote has to be redone. Clear pictures, including the damage, let us confirm a price that does not change on the day.
How quickly can you collect?
We are heavily booked most weeks. Book within 24 hours of receiving your quote and you should get a date reasonably soon; leave it longer and you may be waiting several weeks.
What paperwork is needed?
Proof that the caravan is yours to dispose of. We handle the waste transfer note ourselves, so you are not left chasing it afterwards.
Ready to get started?
Takes about a minute. No-obligation quote.
Send your details and photos — we reply with your fixed quote, usually within 24 hours. Include any damage, because the figure is confirmed from those pictures: £350–£450 for a towable tourer, £500–£850 if it cannot be towed, £1,800–£3,980 for a static. Book within 24 hours of your quote to hold a collection date.
