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 Fareham
A caravan left near the Solent rarely improves with age. In Warsash, Hill Head and Stubbington, salt air can work into the chassis, steadies and frame long before the outside looks beyond saving. Scrap My Caravan removes touring and static caravans across Fareham, including PO14 to PO17. Send honest details and clear photos, and we will confirm the right removal method and a clear price before you book.
Is your caravan still towable, or will it need specialist recovery?
The first question is not whether the caravan once towed well. It is whether it can complete the next journey safely. A towable tourer can usually be collected for less. A weak, incomplete or collapsing caravan needs on-site dismantling or transport on a tow bed.
Signs that a touring caravan is no longer safe to tow
A caravan may be unsafe if its wheels are missing, tyres have collapsed, the hitch is damaged, the chassis is badly rusted or the floor is separating from the body. Loose walls and rotten corners also matter. Saying "it should be fine" is not enough when motorway speeds are involved.
How salt air affects caravans in Warsash, Hill Head and Stubbington
Solent air carries salt onto exposed metal. Over time, it can corrode brake parts, bolts, steadies and the lower frame. A caravan stored near the coast may look tidy above the waistline while the chassis underneath is having a very different day. Include underside photos where possible.
What happens when the chassis, tyres or hitch have deteriorated
We will not tow a caravan that may break apart on the road. A non-towable touring caravan can be dismantled where it stands or loaded onto a tow bed. Both methods take more labour and equipment, so removal usually costs about from £500 for the caravan alone.
Caravan removal in Fareham for homes, storage sites and caravan parks
Caravans in Fareham turn up in all sorts of places, from suburban driveways to park pitches and farm compounds. The route from the caravan to the road often decides which vehicle and removal method we can use.
Collection from driveways, gardens and restricted residential plots
Show us gates, walls, hedges, low branches, slopes and soft ground. Measure narrow gaps rather than guessing. A caravan that fits through a gate with two inches to spare is a different job from one boxed in by fencing, a conservatory and next door's prize roses.
Removal from Greenbarn Caravan Storage and sites near Newgate Lane
For Greenbarn Caravan Storage, Safestore on Newgate Lane or another managed site, check access times before booking. We may need a gate code, bay number or contact for the manager. Tell us which entrance to use, as the postal address may not lead to the caravan.
Caravan collection across Portchester, Titchfield, Whiteley and Locks Heath
We cover Portchester, Titchfield, Whiteley, Locks Heath and the wider Fareham borough. The M27 and A27 make the area accessible, but local lanes, parked cars and site rules still affect collection. Accurate access details help us send the right vehicle first time.
How caravan collection in Fareham works
The process is simple when the information is accurate. You send the caravan details and photos. We assess its condition and access, confirm the price and offer a collection or dismantling date.
Send the caravan details, location and access information
Tell us whether the caravan is touring or static, along with its make, model, length, age and postcode. Explain whether it has wheels, when it last moved and what is wrong with it. For static units, mention decking, utilities, contents and nearby structures.
Receive a clear price based on condition and removal method
All prices depend on the real condition of the caravan and the access available. Clear photos are required before a quote is confirmed. We need to see every side, the hitch, wheels, lower edges, visible chassis, damage and the route to the public road.
Arrange collection using local routes such as the M27 and A27
We plan the journey around safe loading space, traffic and site access. The M27 runs along Fareham's northern edge, while the A27 links through town towards Portsmouth and Cosham. Where relevant, we also account for the M275 junction towards Portsmouth.
Static caravan removal in Fareham for units that cannot leave in one piece
Most static caravans cannot simply be hitched up and pulled away. We usually dismantle them on site, load the agreed waste and clear the working area. Static caravan removal in Fareham normally costs about £1,800–£3,980.
On-site dismantling for static caravans with limited access
On-site dismantling is often the practical choice when a static has no usable running gear, a narrow exit or structures built around it. We need enough room to work safely and a route for carrying materials to the loading vehicle.
Removal from parks, farms, compounds and private land
We remove statics for private owners, landowners and site operators. This includes park pitches, farm plots and storage compounds. Before booking, check who controls the land and whether the site manager needs to approve contractors, working hours or commercial vehicle access.
What affects the cost of dismantling and loading a static caravan
Price depends on size, construction, contents, decking, connected services, ground conditions and carrying distance. If wood can lawfully and safely be burned on site with the landowner's permission, the price may fall by a few hundred pounds. Our rates are the cheapest in the UK.
What does caravan disposal in Fareham cost?
A towable touring caravan starts at £350. Damaged or non-towable tourers are usually from £500. Static caravans are normally £1,800–£3,980. These are useful guides, but your confirmed quote will reflect the caravan shown in your photos and the access at the site.
Pricing for towable touring caravans
The £350 base price applies only when the caravan has its wheels, can be towed and is strong enough to survive the journey without breaking up on the motorway. The hitch, chassis, body and floor must be sound enough for collection.
Pricing for damaged or non-towable caravans
For a non-towable tourer, the two options are on-site dismantling or a tow bed. Either method usually brings the price to around from £500 for the caravan alone. Extra contents or difficult access may change the final figure.
Pricing for static caravans by size, access and site conditions
Static removal usually costs about £1,800–£3,980 because the unit must be broken up and the waste taken away. A clear, firm plot is easier than a waterlogged pitch with decking, sheds, furniture and a long carry to the vehicle.
How to get rid of an old caravan in Fareham legally
Use a proper removal service and agree what will happen to the caravan and its waste. Leaving it beside a road, at a park entrance or on unused land can lead to a fly-tipping investigation.
Why Fareham Borough Council bulky waste collections do not take caravans
Fareham Borough Council's bulky waste service does not take caravans. Touring and static units need specialist handling because they combine large structures with several types of material. Scrap My Caravan provides caravan disposal across the PO14, PO15, PO16 and PO17 areas.
Why leaving a caravan at an unauthorised site can lead to enforcement
Fly-tipping enforcement in Fareham is real. A local man was ordered to pay £1,200 after being caught on camera, and 4,224 incidents were recorded in the borough between 2012 and 2019. Moving a caravan out of sight does not remove the owner's responsibility.
How responsible disposal helps prevent fly-tipping around Fareham
Tell us what is inside the caravan before we quote. Do not fill it with rubble, paint, mattresses or garden waste without agreement. Unexpected contents can affect loading, handling and disposal costs. A clear quote works best when the caravan arrives exactly as described.
Arrange removal of your unwanted caravan in Fareham
Start with accurate details and clear photos. We will explain the suitable removal method, confirm the price and offer an available date.
Information to provide for an accurate quote
Send the caravan type, make, model, length, age and location. Tell us whether it has wheels, whether the hitch works and when it last moved. For a static, include its size, contents, decking, connected services and nearby buildings.
Photos that help us assess condition and access
Photograph every side, the hitch, wheels, chassis, floor edges and all visible damage. Add wide shots showing the route to the road. We are sometimes told a caravan is towable, then arrive to find falling walls, missing wheels or the base floor dropping away.
Book a suitable collection or dismantling date
We are always busy and often heavily booked. Book within 24 hours of receiving your quote to secure the offered date. If you leave it longer, that slot may be taken and the next available collection could be several weeks away.

Frequently asked questions about caravan disposal in Fareham
What happens to an unwanted caravan from Fareham?
The caravan is assessed for reusable parts and recyclable materials. What can be recovered depends on age, damp, corrosion and damage. The remaining structure is then handled through suitable waste routes.
Reusable parts and materials are separated for recovery
Windows, wheels, metal fittings, appliances and some interior parts may still be useful. Their condition decides whether they can be recovered. We account for realistic value during the quote rather than making vague promises that every old caravan is secretly worth a fortune.
Hazardous components are handled through the correct waste channels
Tell us about batteries, gas cylinders, chemicals, electrical items and any fuel containers. These may need separate handling. Do not hide them in cupboards or under seats, as that creates an avoidable problem when dismantling starts.
The remaining structure is processed for recycling or disposal
Caravans contain timber, aluminium, steel, plastics, insulation, glass and bonded panels. Materials are separated where practical. Wet composite walls and fibreglass are harder to process than clean metal, which is another reason condition affects the final quote.
Can we collect from Rookesbury Park, Tynefield Caravan Park or another local site?
Yes, subject to permission and suitable access. Send the site name, pitch or bay number, gate details and the manager's contact information where required.
What permission may be needed before collection
The caravan owner and landowner may both need to approve removal. Some sites require notice before contractors arrive. Static dismantling may also need agreed working hours. Confirm these points before booking so the team is not left waiting at a locked gate.
How access, ground conditions and neighbouring units affect removal
Soft grass, steep slopes, low branches and closely parked caravans can restrict equipment. Wide photos of the pitch and access route are as useful as close-ups of damage. They help us protect neighbouring units and plan where the loading vehicle can stand.
Planning collection from sites near Wickham and Whiteley
Rookesbury Park is near Wickham, while Tynefield Caravan Park is in Whiteley. Managed sites may have reception hours, locked barriers or limits on vehicle movement. Arrange access with the manager before the collection date, especially when a pitch agreement is ending.
