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 Berkshire
Getting rid of an old caravan in Berkshire is more straightforward than you'd expect. Specialist removal teams cover the whole county — from Reading and Newbury to Windsor, Bracknell, and Maidenhead — collecting touring and static caravans and handling everything from the initial quote through to responsible disposal. Touring caravans cost from £350 to remove; static caravans start from £1,800.

Scrap My Caravan Berkshire Prices – What Will It Cost?
Price depends on the type of caravan. Touring caravans start from £350. Static caravans require considerably more work to remove, so they start from £1,800 — that covers on-site dismantling, transport, and responsible disposal.
Factors that affect the final quote: size, condition, access to the site, whether the caravan needs dismantling before it can be moved, and whether it's on firm or soft ground. You'll get a clear quote before any work begins — no hidden charges on collection day.
Caravan Scrapyard Options in Berkshire
There are general scrapyards and vehicle recyclers in Berkshire, but the honest answer is: most won't accept a whole caravan. It's not a matter of logistics — it's the materials. Caravans are built from a combination of aluminium, timber, fibreglass, plastic, and foam insulation. Standard scrapyards are set up to process metal. They're not equipped for mixed-material structures.
Why Most Scrap Yards Refuse Caravans
Think about it this way: a car is mostly steel and glass, easy to crush and feed through a shredder. A caravan is effectively a small building on wheels — multiple layers of different materials that have to be physically separated before any of it can be recycled. Without the right equipment and trained staff, it's just not practical for a standard yard.
Dedicated caravan dismantlers are set up specifically for this. They strip out the timber frame, separate the aluminium cladding, safely remove gas connections and plastic components, and route each material correctly. That matters — because it means almost nothing has to go to landfill.
Static Caravan Scrapping in Berkshire
Static caravans are a whole different scale of job. They're large, heavy, and usually fixed in position — often on park land or farms with access challenges. The price starts at £1,800 because the process is more like demolishing a structure than simply towing something away.
Most statics are stripped out on-site first. The team removes the roof and wall sections, clears the interior, lifts out the chassis, and moves everything away in stages. The practical factors that matter most: access for a large vehicle, ground conditions, and whether overhead cables or fencing are in the way.
If the static is on a holiday park in Berkshire, check your site agreement first and let park management know a removal is being arranged. Most parks have their own procedures for contractor access.
How Scrap My Caravan Berkshire Works – Step by Step
It starts with a quote. You describe your caravan — type, size, rough condition, and location — and a quote comes back the same day in most cases. If you're happy with the figure, a collection date gets booked at a time that suits you.
On collection day, the team checks the access and gets to work. Touring caravans usually take less than an hour. Static removals take longer — half a day to a full day, depending on size and site conditions. Payment is confirmed once the job's done.
Before any work starts, ask the removal company to show their waste carrier licence. Any legitimate operator holds one, issued by the Environment Agency. It's a legal requirement for transporting waste — and a simple check that protects you from any fly-tipping liability down the line.

Frequently asked questions about caravan disposal in Berkshire
Will a scrap yard take a caravan?
Most traditional scrap yards won't accept whole caravans because they contain wood, plastic, and insulation as well as metal. Specialist caravan dismantlers are the better option — they break the caravan down properly and recycle each material stream correctly.
How much does it cost to scrap a static caravan in Berkshire?
Static caravan scrapping in Berkshire starts from £1,800. The final price depends on the unit's size, site access, and whether on-site dismantling is required. Large or twin-unit statics, or those in awkward locations, will typically cost more.
Do I need to notify the DVLA when I scrap a caravan?
It depends on whether the caravan has a V5C logbook. Touring caravans registered as vehicles should have the V5C surrendered on scrapping — the removal company will usually handle this for you. If there's no V5C, there's nothing to notify. Static caravans aren't registered motor vehicles, so DVLA notification doesn't apply to them. Full details are available on GOV.UK.
What happens to my caravan after it's scrapped?
After collection, the caravan is taken to a specialist dismantling facility. The interior gets stripped first — appliances, upholstery, fittings, and fixtures are either resold or directed to the correct recycling streams. Then the structure itself is broken down: aluminium goes to metal recycling, the timber frame goes to waste processing, plastics are sorted by type, and the chassis is processed for scrap metal. The aim is to recover as much as possible and send as little as possible to landfill.
