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.

Manchester Near Me – Local Caravan Removal Options
Greater Manchester is one of the most heavily populated parts of the UK — roughly 2.8 million people across the city of Manchester and its nine surrounding boroughs: Salford, Bolton, Bury, Stockport, Oldham, Wigan, Rochdale, Tameside, and Trafford. That's a huge number of suburban and semi-rural households with caravans they no longer need.
All M, BL, OL, SK, and WN postcode areas are covered. Collection runs regularly serve Manchester city, Salford, Altrincham, Stretford, Urmston, Sale, Cheadle, Stockport, Hazel Grove, Wigan, Leigh, Bolton, Farnworth, Bury, Radcliffe, Oldham, Ashton-under-Lyne, Rochdale, and Middleton. If you're anywhere in Greater Manchester, you're well within range.

Scrap My Caravan Manchester Prices – What Will It Cost?
Touring caravans: collection and disposal from £350. That covers a standard single-axle tourer in most conditions, collected anywhere across the Greater Manchester area.
Static caravans start from £1,800. Statics require on-site dismantling, staged removal in sections, and specialist handling at a licensed disposal facility. The price reflects the scale of that work, not a hidden charge.
What affects the final quote: the size and age of the unit, its condition (significant damp or structural damage adds complexity), ease of access, and whether any site preparation is needed before the caravan can be moved. You'll receive a fixed, upfront figure before any work begins.
Caravan Scrapyard Options in Manchester
Manchester has plenty of scrap yards and metal recyclers — but virtually none will accept a whole caravan. It's not a question of location; it's the materials. A caravan is built from aluminium cladding, timber framing, fibreglass, multiple types of plastic, and foam insulation. Standard scrapyards process steel and metal. A caravan is a completely different challenge.
Specialist caravan dismantlers are equipped to handle the full mix. They separate each material into the correct recycling stream. Any reputable operator holds a waste carrier licence issued by the Environment Agency, which is a legal requirement for transporting waste. Always ask to see it before agreeing to any collection.
Caravan Breaking in Manchester – When a Tourer Can't Be Towed
Caravan breaking is what happens when a caravan can't be towed away in one piece. Instead of moving the whole unit, it's dismantled where it stands and the materials are separated for recycling. We don't sell reclaimed parts or spares — breaking is a disposal method here, not a salvage business.
Breaking is a paid service and it costs more than a straight collection, because of the labour involved. Touring caravans that need breaking start from £500 across Greater Manchester. You pay us for the work either way.
Condition doesn't rule anything out. Heavy damp, structural damage or missing components won't stop us taking it — they affect the quote, because a caravan in poor condition takes longer to break down safely, but there's always a route to getting it gone.
Static Caravan Scrapping in Manchester
Static caravans across Greater Manchester tend to sit on private residential plots, large gardens in the suburban fringe, or on land in the semi-rural areas of Wigan, Bolton, and Rochdale.
Static removal requires on-site dismantling in most cases. The roof sections come off first, then the interior fittings, then the cladding and structural panels — all moved in sections that can be safely transported. The chassis is usually last. Expect the process to take half a day to a full day. Static caravans start from £1,800 — and you'll receive a fixed price before any work starts.
How Scrap My Caravan Manchester Works – Step by Step
Start with a quote. You describe your caravan — type, rough condition, size, and location anywhere in Greater Manchester — and a figure comes back quickly, often the same day.
Once agreed, a collection date is booked at a time that suits you. A touring caravan is typically loaded and gone within the hour. A static is a longer job — plan for most of the day if on-site dismantling is needed.
Payment is settled once the work is complete. Before any work begins, ask to see the operator's waste carrier licence issued by the Environment Agency. Any reputable service will produce it without hesitation.

Frequently asked questions about caravan disposal in Manchester
How to scrap a caravan in Manchester?
Using a specialist removal service is the right approach — general scrap yards in Manchester won't take caravans due to the mixed materials involved. Request a quote, agree a price, confirm a collection date, and the team comes to your address anywhere in Greater Manchester. Touring caravans start from £350; statics from £1,800. Once collected, the caravan goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility where it's dismantled and recycled responsibly.
How much will I get for scrapping my caravan in Manchester?
There's usually a cost rather than a payment. Touring caravans start from £350 for collection and disposal across Greater Manchester. Static caravans start from £1,800, reflecting the additional labour involved in on-site dismantling. The one exception is a touring caravan from year 2000 or newer with only minor damage and nothing else wrong with it — that is rare, and it never applies to static caravans. Everything else is a paid disposal.
Where can I scrap my caravan near Manchester?
Collection is arranged from your address — across all of Greater Manchester including Manchester city, Salford, Stockport, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Wigan, Rochdale, Tameside, and Trafford. All M, BL, OL, SK, and WN postcode areas are covered. You don't need to move the caravan or find a drop-off point.
Is there a caravan scrap yard near Manchester?
Traditional scrap yards near Manchester are not set up for caravans — the mixed materials make it impractical for a standard metal yard. The better option is a specialist caravan dismantler that uses a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility. These operators handle the aluminium, timber, fibreglass, plastics, and chassis separately, ensuring the caravan is disposed of legally and with minimal waste going to landfill. Always ask for the waste carrier licence before agreeing to any collection.
