What it costs to scrap your caravan
Scrapping a caravan is a service you pay for, and there is no free collection. The one exception is a used caravan in working order that meets the conditions in the last column — those we will buy. 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
We buy used caravans
The one case where the money comes to you
- Caravans from 1992 onwards only
- It must be in working order
- Minor damp is acceptable
- Minor leaks are acceptable
- £100 – £600 for damp, leaks or minor damage
- Up to £4,000 for high-end caravans, never more
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 Windsor
If you've got an unwanted caravan in Windsor or the surrounding Berkshire area, getting rid of it is simpler than you think. Scrap My Caravan collects touring and static caravans from Windsor, Maidenhead, Bracknell, Slough, and the wider county. Touring caravan removal starts from £350; static caravans from £1,800. You'll get a clear, upfront quote before any work begins.
Caravan Disposal in Windsor – What to Expect
Here's why you can't just ring a general scrap yard. Most standard yards won't accept a whole caravan — and with good reason. A caravan is made up of timber framing, aluminium cladding, fibreglass panels, various plastics, foam insulation, and gas fittings. That's a composite waste job, not a metal recycling job.
Specialist caravan dismantlers break the unit down correctly, sending each material to the appropriate recycling stream. Under Environment Agency regulations, any company removing your caravan as waste must hold a registered waste carrier licence. Ask to see it before work begins — it protects you legally if anything goes wrong with the disposal.
How Much Does It Cost to Scrap a Caravan Near Windsor?
Scrapping a caravan costs money — you pay for the removal, not the other way around. There's no cash in exchange for an old caravan — we don't buy caravans or pay for them.
Touring Caravans
Removal starts from £350 for touring caravans collected from Windsor and the Berkshire area. That covers a standard single-axle tourer in typical condition. Twin-axle models or particularly large units may cost more. The quote you receive is fixed — no surprise extras on the day.
Static Caravans
Static caravans start from £1,800. Statics are a larger operation. Most need on-site dismantling before they can be transported. Windsor's mix of riverside plots along the Thames, static pitches near Eton and Datchet, and private land around Wraysbury means access conditions vary considerably — all factored into the quote from the start.
We don't buy caravans or make cash offers — every collection is a priced service, quoted before anything is booked.
Where Does Scrap My Caravan Collect Near Windsor?
The whole of Berkshire is covered, including Windsor, Maidenhead, Bracknell, Slough, Wokingham, Reading, Newbury, and Sandhurst. The SL4, SL5, SL6, RG, and RG12 postcode areas are all within easy reach. For caravans near the county boundaries, the Surrey service covers the south-east and the Hampshire service extends south and west. The full Berkshire service covers every corner of the county.
Do I Need to Notify the DVLA When I Scrap a Caravan?
It depends on the type of caravan. Touring caravans registered as vehicles have a V5C logbook — when the caravan is scrapped, the DVLA should be notified and the V5C surrendered. According to DVLA guidance on GOV.UK, you can notify the DVLA online when a registered vehicle is permanently taken off the road.
Static caravans are not registered motor vehicles, so no DVLA notification is needed.
Collecting From Storage Sites and Caravan Parks Near Windsor
The Windsor and Berkshire area has a mix of residential driveways, garden plots, rural storage sites, and touring parks within reach. Scrap My Caravan collects from all of these.
If your caravan is on a managed site, give the site management advance notice before the collection date. Mention any access restrictions (locked barriers, weight limits on approach tracks, overhead cables) when you request a quote.
What Happens to My Caravan After Collection?
After collection, your caravan goes to a licensed disposal facility. Aluminium and steel are sent for metal recycling; timber is processed as wood waste; fibreglass is separated; plastics are sorted by type; and gas fittings are handled under specific safety procedures.
The process follows the National Caravan Council's guidance on responsible disposal — every material is dealt with at the appropriate recycling or waste facility. Nothing ends up dumped.

Frequently asked questions about caravan disposal in Windsor
Will a Scrapyard Take a Caravan?
Most standard scrap yards won't accept whole caravans. The mix of materials — timber, fibreglass, plastics, foam insulation, aluminium — is too complex for a standard metal merchant to process. Specialist caravan dismantlers hold the Environment Agency licences needed to handle composite caravan waste properly.
How Much Does It Cost to Get Rid of a Caravan in Windsor?
Touring caravans start from £350 for collection and disposal in the Windsor area. Static caravans start from £1,800, reflecting the on-site dismantling required. You'll receive a fixed, upfront quote — no hidden charges added on collection day.
Can You Scrap a Static Caravan in Windsor?
Yes. Static caravans are collected and scrapped across Windsor and the wider Berkshire area. Static removal involves on-site dismantling — usually half a day to a full day. Prices start from £1,800.
Does the Caravan Need to Be Roadworthy?
No. The caravan doesn't need to be roadworthy, habitable, or in any particular condition to be collected. Caravans with significant damp, structural damage, fire damage, or missing sections are all collectible. Be honest about the state of the caravan when you enquire and the quote you receive will reflect it accurately.
