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 Peterborough
Scrapping a caravan in Peterborough is straightforward. A specialist team collects touring and static caravans from drives, storage sites, and caravan parks across the PE postcode district, then dismantles them at a licensed facility. Touring caravan removal costs £350–£600; static caravan removal costs £1,800–£2,100, depending on size, access, and condition. No hidden charges.
The service covers all PE postcode districts — PE1 through PE7 — and extends out to Eye, Yaxley, Whittlesey, Thorney, and the wider Cambridgeshire Fens. Under Environment Agency guidelines, caravans must be correctly de-polluted and dismantled before materials enter the recycling stream. quotes are returned the same day in most cases.
How Much Is a Scrap Caravan Worth in Peterborough?
Right, here's what most people want to know first. The honest answer: it depends. Quotes are no-obligation, and most are turned around the same day.
What Affects the Value of Your Caravan?
Size and weight — Heavier caravans contain more recoverable metal. A large twin-axle tourer or a 40ft static will fetch more than a compact two-berth.
Condition — Damp, fire damage, or structural rot won't stop a collection, but they do affect how much metal can be salvaged.
Access — Caravans in tight spots should be flagged to the team upfront. In most cases it's not a problem; it just helps with planning.
On-site dismantling — Some static caravans need to be broken down in situ before removal. This is factored into the quote rather than charged as a surprise extra.
Touring vs Static – What's the Difference in Price?
Touring caravans typically cost £350–£600 to remove. Static caravans are a different beast entirely: larger, heavier, and harder to shift, so removal costs £1,800–£2,100. The higher price reflects the extra labour and logistics involved.
The National Caravan Council publishes guidance on caravan types for those unsure which category applies.

The whole thing from first enquiry to empty drive typically takes less than a week.
Can You Scrap a Damaged Caravan in Peterborough?
Yes. Damp is the most common issue, and it won't prevent collection. Neither will fire damage, broken windows, missing panels, or a chassis that's seen better days. The service takes caravans in any condition, because even a badly deteriorated unit contains salvageable metal and materials.
A caravan sitting in a field in the Cambridgeshire Fens for the past five years is still worth a quote. The Cambridgeshire collection service covers the whole county, not just Peterborough.
Do You Need to Notify the DVLA When You Scrap a Caravan?
Most static caravans are not registered vehicles and don't require DVLA notification. Touring caravans often have a V5C registration document — where one exists, owners need to notify the DVLA that the vehicle has been scrapped.
