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.

Scrap Your Caravan Quickly Anywhere in East Sussex

- Severe damp
- Water ingress
- Fire damage
- Failed chassis
- Insurance write-offs
- Abandoned caravans

- Costly repair quotes
Instead of paying ongoing storage or repair costs, scrapping the caravan is often the simplest solution.
We help customers across East Sussex dispose of touring caravans, static caravans, and some motorhomes.
How Our Caravan Scrapping Process Works
Scrapping a caravan does not need to be complicated.
Step 1 – Tell Us About the Caravan
We typically need:
- Caravan make and model
- Condition
- Location
- Whether it can still move
- Photos if available
Step 2 – Collection Arrangements
We help arrange caravan collection across East Sussex, including holiday parks, storage yards, driveways, farms, and rural locations.
Step 3 – Caravan Disposal
Once collected, the caravan is dismantled and processed responsibly. Reusable parts may be salvaged while remaining materials are recycled where possible.
What Types of Caravans Can We Scrap?
We can help with:
Touring Caravans
Older touring caravans often become uneconomical to repair, especially with structural damp or axle damage.
Static Caravan Removal East Sussex
Static caravans can also be removed and disposed of, including units located on holiday parks or private land.
Damp or Fire-Damaged Caravans
Many scrap yards will not deal with heavily damaged caravans directly. Specialist caravan disposal services are often needed for non-roadworthy units.
Motorhome Disposal East Sussex
We may also assist with motorhome disposal across East Sussex depending on the condition and location.
How Much Does It Cost to Scrap a Caravan?
The cost of scrapping a caravan depends on several factors, including:
- Size of caravan
- Location
- Access conditions
- Whether collection equipment is needed
- Caravan condition
- Static or touring caravan type
In some situations, caravan collection may be free. In others, there may be a charge if specialist recovery or transport is required.
How Much Is a Caravan Worth for Scrap?
Scrap value varies significantly. Factors include:
- Weight
- Metal content
- Reusable parts
- Age
- Structural condition
A badly damaged caravan may have little scrap value, while newer caravans with reusable parts may hold more value.
Caravan Collection From Holiday Parks, Storage Yards & Rural Areas
Many caravans needing disposal are located in difficult access areas.
We can often help arrange collection from:
- Holiday parks
- Caravan storage sites
- Rural farmland
- Residential driveways
- Coastal locations
- Abandoned pitches
If your caravan is stuck on-site or cannot legally be towed, specialist collection may still be possible.
On-site caravan dismantling in East Sussex – Why People Use Professional Disposal Services
Using a professional caravan disposal service helps avoid several common problems.
Avoid Illegal Dumping Risks
Abandoned caravans can lead to complaints, landowner disputes, and environmental issues.
Easier Than Private Selling

Large caravans can be difficult and dangerous to move without proper equipment.

A caravan that has reached the end of its life is rarely worth continuing to invest money into.
