Scrap My Caravan Hampshire Prices – What Will It Cost?
Price depends on the type of caravan. Touring caravans start from £250. Static caravans involve significantly more work, so they start from £1,700 — that covers on-site dismantling, transport, and responsible disposal.
The factors that affect the final figure: size, condition, access to the site, whether dismantling is needed before the caravan can be moved, and whether it’s on hard standing or soft ground. You’ll get a clear quote before anything starts — no hidden charges on the day.
Caravan Scrapyard Options in Hampshire
Hampshire has various scrap yards and metal recyclers, but most won’t touch a whole caravan. It’s not about the distance — it’s the materials. Caravans are built from a mixture of aluminium framing, timber flooring, fibreglass panels, plastic fittings, and foam insulation. Standard scrap yards process metal. A caravan is a far more complicated thing to break down.
Why Most Scrap Yards Refuse Caravans
A car is mostly steel and glass — easy to crush and shred. A caravan is more like a small building on wheels, built from layers of different materials that all need to be physically separated before any of them can be recycled. Without specialist equipment, it’s simply not practical for a general yard.
Dedicated caravan dismantlers are set up specifically for this. They strip out the timber frame, separate the aluminium cladding, safely disconnect gas connections and plastics, and route each material to the right recycling stream. That means almost nothing has to go to landfill.
Caravan Breakers in Hampshire – An Alternative to Scrapping
Caravan breakers take a different approach. Rather than recycling the whole unit for material value, they dismantle it and sell the usable parts — windows, habitation doors, water heaters, sinks, gas lockers — to caravan owners looking for affordable replacements.
Worth knowing about, but breakers are selective. They want caravans with parts still worth salvaging. If yours has significant damp or structural damage, a full scrapping service will be the more realistic option.
Static Caravan Scrapping in Hampshire
Hampshire has a significant number of static caravans — across holiday parks in the New Forest, coastal sites near Hayling Island and Gosport, and on farm land across the county. Scrapping one is a different job from collecting a touring caravan. They’re large, fixed in position, and often in places that need careful access planning. The price starts at £1,700 because the work involved is much closer to dismantling a structure than towing something away.
Most statics are stripped on-site first. The team takes down the roof sections, strips the interior, removes the chassis, and hauls the materials away in stages. The things that affect how straightforward the job is: vehicle access, ground conditions, and whether there are low cables or narrow gateways to navigate.
If the static is on a holiday park, check your site licence and speak to park management before booking the removal. Parks in Hampshire often have specific requirements around contractor access and working hours — sorting this upfront avoids delays.
How Scrap My Caravan Hampshire Works – Step by Step
It starts with a free quote. You describe your caravan — type, size, rough condition, and location — and a quote comes back quickly, usually the same day. If you’re happy with the figure, a collection date is booked at a time that suits you.
On the day, the team checks the access and gets on with it. Touring caravans are often gone within the hour. Static removals take longer — half a day to a full day, depending on size and site conditions. Payment’s confirmed once the job’s complete.
Before handing anything over, ask to see the removal company’s waste carrier licence. Any reputable 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 if something goes wrong.

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 Hampshire?
Static caravan scrapping in Hampshire starts from £1,700. 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 on soft ground or coastal park sites with restricted access, will typically cost more.
Do I need to notify the DVLA when I scrap a caravan?
It depends on whether your caravan has a V5C logbook. Touring caravans registered as vehicles should have the V5C surrendered when scrapped — the removal company will usually handle this. If there’s no V5C, there’s nothing to notify. Static caravans aren’t registered as motor vehicles, so DVLA notification doesn’t apply to them. More information is available on GOV.UK.
What happens to my caravan after it’s scrapped?
After collection, the caravan goes to a specialist dismantling facility. The interior gets stripped first — appliances, upholstery, and fittings are either resold or directed to the correct recycling streams. Then the structure’s 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.
