Junction 23

Ashton Moss sits on the M60, so yards from the Oldham side, the Manchester side and the Stockport side can all quote here without a long run. The site prices your car against each of them and shows the best figure; that collector rings to arrange a day, usually within one to three days.

OL5, OL6 and OL7

OL6 is the town centre, Hurst, Smallshaw and Hartshead; OL7 the west of the town and Guide Bridge; OL5 Mossley up the Tame valley. Terraces and kerbside parking in the town, semis on the Hurst and Hartshead estates, and steep streets in Mossley and up towards Hartshead Pike. Say which street and whether the car moves. Stalybridge and Hyde, Droylsden and Denton have their own pages.

Tameside cars

Older family cars and hatchbacks at the end of the MOT, vans from the Ashton Moss and Whitelands estates, and plenty of cars parked up for a year or two behind a terrace until someone needs the space. Non-runners are winched; MOT failures and damaged cars are priced the same way as a clean car — weight, make, age, what is still fitted. Say if the catalytic converter has gone; it changes the price, not whether the car is collected.

The paperwork, done properly

Every collector is an Authorised Treatment Facility. Photo ID and proof of address for the registered keeper, bank transfer within 24 hours of collection — no cash, by law — and the Certificate of Destruction issued by the yard with the DVLA told. No V5C? The ID check replaces it.

Questions

What people in Ashton-under-Lyne ask

Is Mossley collected with Ashton?

Yes. OL5 is priced with Ashton and collected on the same run up the valley. Stalybridge, across the river, has its own page with Hyde and Dukinfield.

Can I drop the car at a yard instead of waiting for collection?

Collection is free and usually within one to three days, so there is rarely a reason to. If a collector on the network takes drop-offs it will say so when it rings; the price is the same either way.

What if the car has no MOT and no tax?

Normal for a scrap car. It is collected rather than driven, and the price is the same as for a car with months left on both.

How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Ashton-under-Lyne?

Enter your registration and postcode for today's position in Ashton-under-Lyne. Where a licensed yard covers your district, collection is usually within one to three days of accepting the price: the yard rings to agree a day and again before setting off. If no yard covers it yet, leave your details and we ring you the moment one does.

Is collection in Ashton-under-Lyne really free?

Collection is free wherever a licensed yard covers your postcode: the truck is part of the collector's price. No yard covers Ashton-under-Lyne at the moment, so enter your postcode for today's position, or leave your details and we ring you as soon as one does.
