Off junction 35
Chapeltown is minutes from the motorway, so both the Sheffield yards and the Barnsley-side yards can quote for it without the price carrying any distance. The site shows the best figure any approved collector offers for the car and that yard collects, typically next working day.
The villages
Chapeltown itself is the town centre terraces and the estates off Station Road and Lound Side; Ecclesfield and Burncross to the south, High Green to the north, Grenoside up the hill to the west and Thorpe Hesley across towards Rotherham. Mostly drives and semis, with some steep streets at Grenoside and High Green where a car that will not roll needs the winch — mention it when you book.
Cars from the north of the city
S35 sends family cars that have reached the end and the odd van from the units along the A61 and around Smithy Wood. Each is priced from the registration; MOT failures, non-runners, damaged cars and vans up to 3.5 tonnes go at the same free collection.
Licensed and closed off
Payment is by bank transfer to the registered keeper within 24 hours of collection. The Certificate of Destruction comes from the collecting yard — an Authorised Treatment Facility — and the DVLA is notified that the car is no longer yours. No V5C? Photo ID and proof of address are what the yard needs.

Questions
What people in Chapeltown ask
Is High Green covered?
Yes — Chapeltown, Ecclesfield, High Green, Grenoside, Burncross and Thorpe Hesley share S35 and are priced together.
Will a Sheffield yard or a Barnsley yard collect?
Whichever approved collector pays the most for your car that day. Chapeltown is close to both, which is good for the price.
How is the price decided?
From the car — kerb weight from the registration lookup, today's metal rate, whether it starts and rolls, and what is on it — and then from which collector bids highest for your district.
What do scrap cars fetch in Chapeltown?
Over the last 12 months the typical Chapeltown car was paid £237, and half of them fetched between £201 and £280. Weight moves it most: cars of under 1,100 kg typically made £186 here, cars of 1,400–1,700 kg about £283.
Is a 15-year-old car still worth scrapping in Chapeltown?
Yes: four in five of the cars collected in Chapeltown in the last 12 months were at least 15 years old, and the typical one was 17. The oldest on our Chapeltown records is a 1998 Citroën Saxo.
Have scrap car prices in Chapeltown gone down?
The typical payment in Chapeltown was £264 in 2024, £231 in 2025 and £237 so far in 2026. So a typical Chapeltown car fetches £27 less this year than in 2024.
