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.

- Fire damage
- Failed MOTs for towing

Instead of leaving it unused on a driveway or paying ongoing storage fees, scrapping your caravan can often be the fastest and most practical option.

How Much Does It Cost to Scrap a Caravan?
One of the most common questions is:
How much does it cost to scrap a caravan?
The answer depends on several factors:
- Caravan size
- Weight
- Location
- Accessibility
- Damage level
- Whether specialist lifting equipment is needed
Smaller touring caravans may cost less to remove than large static caravans that require specialist transport or dismantling.
In some cases, caravans with reusable parts or scrap value may offset part of the collection cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to notify the DVLA when I scrap a caravan?
Touring caravans usually do not require DVLA registration in the same way as cars. However, if the caravan is insured or registered with any ownership databases, you should update those records where applicable.
Will a scrap yard take a caravan?
Some metal recyclers will accept caravans, but many do not because caravans contain mixed materials including wood, insulation, plastics, and furnishings.
Specialist caravan disposal services are often required.
How long does caravan scrapping take?
This varies depending on:
- Location
- Accessibility
- Caravan condition
- Collection availability
Simple collections may be arranged relatively quickly.
Can I scrap a caravan with damp or fire damage?
Yes. Damp and fire-damaged caravans are among the most common types of caravans sent for disposal.
What does caravan collection cost?
Collection is always a paid service — touring caravans start from £350 and statics from £1,800. The final figure depends on:
- Distance
- Access
- Caravan size
- Transport requirements
Recovered materials never cover the cost of a safe, legal removal, so there is always a price to pay.
What happens to a caravan after it is scrapped?
The caravan is dismantled and its materials separated into the correct recycling streams — aluminium, steel, timber, plastics and glass — with the remainder disposed of responsibly. We do not sell reclaimed parts.
Can you collect a caravan from a caravan park in Somerset?
Yes, collection may be possible from holiday parks and caravan parks depending on site access and permissions.
Can you scrap a static caravan?
Yes, although static caravan disposal is typically more complex than touring caravan collection due to transport and dismantling requirements.
