What it costs to scrap a static caravan
Static caravan disposal is a paid, on-site service — there is no free collection and we never buy static caravans. This is what you are paying for.
Static caravan disposal
Dismantled on site, waste cleared and taken away
- Full on-site dismantling — no towing required
- Size, access and condition set the final figure
- Licensed Environment Agency waste-carrier disposal
- We never buy static caravans, whatever the condition
Every quote is based on your caravan's size, access and condition, agreed in writing before any work begins. Send clear photos of every side, the pitch and access road so the figure holds on the day.
Get your old caravan cleared by static caravan dismantlers in Kinmel Bay from £1,300
Static caravan removal in Kinmel Bay normally costs between £1,300 and £4,500, depending on the size of the unit, its condition and access to the pitch. Static Caravan Dismantlers takes end-of-life caravans apart on their existing pitches, then loads and removes the resulting waste through authorised facilities. This is a paid service. We do not buy caravans, collect complete units or sell used parts.
Kinmel Bay has a dense mix of holiday parks, private plots and narrow access roads between the River Clwyd and the A548 towards Towyn. A caravan beside a wide service road may be fairly straightforward. One boxed in by decking, fencing and neighbouring units needs more planning.
You do not need to solve every problem before asking for a price. Send photographs, the caravan size, its location and a few details about access. We can tell you what needs arranging and provide a quote based on the actual job.
Decide whether dismantling, collection or resale is right for your caravan
A newer caravan in sound condition may be suitable for resale or relocation through another type of operator. Our service is for statics that have reached the end of their usable life and need paid dismantling and lawful disposal.
Typical examples include caravans with severe damp, rotten floors, storm damage, fire damage or a frame that is no longer safe to move.
We never tow an old static away as one complete unit. It remains on its pitch and is taken apart there.
When on-site dismantling is the safest option
Years of water damage can weaken floors, walls and roof sections. Tyres may be flat or perished, while brakes and axles may have seized. The outside can look passable even when the structure underneath is held together by little more than habit.
Trying to drag such a unit through a busy holiday park can damage roads, fences, other caravans or the unit itself.
On-site dismantling removes that risk. The caravan is broken down in a controlled order and carried to the collection vehicle in manageable loads. This is particularly useful on tight pitches around Golden Sands Holiday Park, Sunnyvale, Ty Mawr Holiday Park and other established local sites.
Can you scrap a static caravan in Kinmel Bay that still has some value?
The metal does not cover the cost of removing the caravan.
Recoverable scrap metal from a typical static may be worth roughly £40 to £180. The rest of the caravan includes timber, insulation, wall panels, furniture, flooring, glass, plastics and mixed waste. Much of that costs money to sort, transport and dispose of.
The owner therefore pays for labour, tools, vehicles, licensing, insurance and disposal. Any metal recovered forms only a small part of the overall job and is not a payment to the owner.
Why a static caravan scrap yard may not collect complete units
A static caravan is not one large piece of scrap metal. It is a mixture of materials that must first be separated.
Complete units are also difficult to transport. They can be too wide for easy movement, too weak to tow or trapped behind later additions such as decks, sheds and fences.
A static caravan scrap yard may accept prepared metal, but it may not be equipped to dismantle a whole unit on a holiday-park pitch. Our crew deals with the caravan where it stands, then transports the separated waste to suitable facilities.
What affects the static caravan removal cost?
Most Kinmel Bay jobs fall between £1,300 and £4,500.
A smaller single unit with clear vehicle access will usually cost less than a large caravan with severe damage, a long carrying route and structures built around it. Photographs allow us to assess these points before quoting.
Caravan size, condition and construction
Longer units contain more material and take more time to strip. Twin units and attached extensions can also require extra labour.
Condition affects how the caravan can be dismantled. A stable, dry unit usually comes apart in a predictable order. Rotten floors, collapsed ceilings and fire-damaged walls need slower handling because sections may move without warning.
Alterations matter too. Homemade porches, internal partitions and roof coverings can add work that is not obvious from the caravan's model or age.
Pitch access, obstructions and distance from the road
Access can change the price as much as the caravan itself.
A vehicle parked beside the pitch makes loading quicker. If every piece must be carried along a narrow lane or across soft ground, the job takes longer.
Please show us any:
- Decking, verandas or steps
- Fences, gates and sheds
- Trees or low branches
- Closely parked neighbouring units
- Narrow roads or sharp turns
- Long distances between the pitch and vehicle access
Photographs of each side of the caravan and the route from the park entrance are usually enough for an initial assessment.
Disconnection, clearance and park requirements
Gas, electricity, water and drainage must be disconnected before dismantling begins.
Some parks complete this work themselves. Others require an approved tradesperson. Ask the park office who is responsible and whether they need contractor documents before confirming a date.
Remove personal belongings, food, gas bottles and anything you wish to keep. Nobody wants to find Grandad's fishing rods halfway down the waste pile.
What should be included in your dismantling quote?
Your quote should state what is being removed and what will remain.
Our agreed price can include:
- Dismantling the static on its existing pitch
- Labour and equipment
- Loading and transport
- Waste sorting and disposal
- Sweeping loose debris created by our work
External decking, sheds, concrete steps, garden waste and abandoned belongings may need separate pricing. Mention them at the start so the quote reflects the full job.
Local clearance across Kinmel Bay, the River Clwyd and the A548
Kinmel Bay lies in Conwy county borough, across the River Clwyd estuary from Rhyl in Denbighshire. Along the coast, the A548 runs directly into Towyn.
The area includes riverside parks, large holiday sites and smaller private plots. Access conditions can vary within a few streets, so each removal is planned around the actual pitch.
Removing caravans near Golden Sands Holiday Park and Sunnyvale
Sites near Golden Sands Holiday Park and Sunnyvale often have established roads, neighbouring pitches and permanent decking. That can limit where a collection vehicle can stop.
Sunnyvale is beside the River Clwyd near the Grade II-listed Foryd Harbour blue bridge. For work around this side of Kinmel Bay, we check the carrying distance, gate access and any limits on contractor working hours before attending.
Access planning near Foryd Harbour and the Grade II-listed blue bridge
The roads around Foryd Harbour are one reason whole-unit transport is not suitable for a weakened caravan.
On-site dismantling means the complete static does not need to be hauled towards the bridge or squeezed through local roads. It stays on the pitch while the structure is reduced into loads that can be removed safely.
Dismantling near Ty Mawr Holiday Park and The Bungalow Camp Caravan Park
Larger parks often have set procedures for outside contractors. You may need to arrange a sign-in time, provide insurance details or agree where vehicles can park.
Ty Mawr Holiday Park, The Bungalow Camp Caravan Park and other local sites may each apply different rules. Check with reception before booking the work. We can then plan around the requirements rather than meeting a locked barrier and a puzzled security guard.
Covering pitches towards Palins Holiday Park and Towyn
Palins Holiday Park sits around the Kinmel Bay and Towyn border. It publicly removed its previous caravan age-limit policy in 2025.
That shows why owners should check the rules of their own park rather than assume every older static must go. Age alone does not make a caravan unsuitable.
When a unit is genuinely beyond use or its removal has been agreed, we cover the adjoining area. You can also read our Static Caravan Dismantlers Towyn page for guidance specific to Towyn.
A licensed and insured on-site dismantling service
Static caravan dismantling involves unstable walls, sharp sheet metal, broken glass, heavy frames and controlled waste. It needs the right equipment and a proper disposal route.
Static Caravan Dismantlers is insured and registered to carry waste. Every caravan is taken apart on site rather than moved whole.
Waste-carrier registration checked through Natural Resources Wales
Waste-carrier registration for work in Kinmel Bay is regulated by Natural Resources Wales, also known as NRW.
Customers and park managers can ask to see our registration details before work begins. This confirms that we are authorised to transport the dismantled materials from the site.
Public liability insurance for work on holiday parks and private land
Public liability insurance matters when work takes place close to other caravans, parked vehicles, fences and park buildings.
Many park offices ask contractors to provide evidence of cover before granting access. We can supply the relevant details for the planned job.
Safe separation of metal, timber, fixtures and general waste
The caravan is dismantled in stages. Loose fixtures and internal fittings are removed before the larger wall, roof and floor sections are broken down.
Metal, timber and other materials are separated where practical. This improves loading and allows suitable materials to enter the correct recycling or disposal route.
It is a controlled process, not a contest to see who can swing the largest hammer.
Responsible transport to authorised recycling and disposal facilities
After sorting, the waste is loaded and taken to authorised facilities.
Some metals and other materials can be recycled. Damaged insulation, mixed panels and other unsuitable waste must be disposed of correctly. The route depends on the material and what licensed facilities can accept.
How static caravan disposal in Kinmel Bay works
The service follows a clear process from your first enquiry to the cleared pitch.
Send photographs and details for an initial assessment
Send photographs of the front, rear and both sides of the caravan. Include the interior, visible damage, decking and the route to the nearest place a vehicle can stop.
We also need:
- The caravan's approximate size
- The park name or postcode
- A description of its condition
- Details of sheds, fences or other obstacles
- Your preferred timing
Clear information helps us give a realistic quote without unnecessary back-and-forth.
Confirm access, utility disconnections and permission from the park
Obtain permission from the park before the work date.
Confirm who will disconnect gas, electricity, water and drainage. Remove personal items and tell us about gate codes, barriers, arrival times or reception procedures.
We will confirm what must be ready before the crew attends.
Dismantle the caravan safely on its pitch
The caravan remains in its current position throughout the dismantling.
The crew removes sections in an order suited to the unit's condition. An unstable caravan may require extra supports or smaller sections to prevent uncontrolled movement.
The complete caravan is never towed away or relocated.
Sort recyclable materials and load the remaining waste
Materials are sorted during the dismantling where safe and practical.
Metal is kept apart from general waste. Timber, plastics, insulation and glass are handled according to their condition and the facilities that can receive them.
Sorting as the work progresses also keeps the pitch safer and tidier.
Clear the pitch and provide disposal paperwork
Once dismantling is complete, the agreed waste is loaded and removed. Loose debris caused by our work is collected and the pitch is swept.
Waste paperwork can be supplied to show that the material entered the proper disposal chain. The quotation will state exactly what clearance is included.
Park rules and caravan age limits are not the same everywhere
Caravan age policies vary between parks and can change.
Do not arrange disposal based only on what happened at a neighbouring site. Read your agreement and speak to your own park office first.
Check your individual park agreement before arranging removal
Your agreement may cover notice periods, contractor access, disconnections and the condition in which the pitch must be left.
The park may also request insurance and Natural Resources Wales waste-carrier details. Confirm these requirements before choosing a date.
Why an older caravan does not always need to be scrapped
An older static may still be usable if it is well maintained and accepted under the park's current policy.
The change at Palins shows that age limits should not be treated as blanket pressure across Kinmel Bay and Towyn.
Dismantling is appropriate when the caravan is unsafe, badly damaged, unwanted or subject to a confirmed removal requirement.
Allow enough time for park approval and disconnection deadlines
Park approval and utility work can take longer during busy periods.
Start making arrangements before the last day of your agreement. This gives you time to gather documents, clear belongings and solve access issues without a last-minute scramble.

The service is always paid on-site dismantling. We do not purchase statics, remove complete units or retail reclaimed parts.
Local coverage across Kinmel Bay and Towyn

Static caravan removal across the River Clwyd from Rhyl
Rhyl sits across the estuary in Denbighshire. For work on that side of the River Clwyd, see Static Caravan Dismantlers Rhyl.
We also work west of Kinmel Bay towards Abergele. More local information is available on our Static Caravan Dismantlers Abergele page.
Help with restricted pitches, narrow park roads and immobile caravans
A static does not need to be towable for us to remove it.
On-site dismantling is suited to blocked-in, rotten or immobile units. Tell us about soft ground, steep slopes, low branches, locked gates and long carrying routes so we can plan the right crew and equipment.
What happens to a scrap static caravan in Kinmel Bay?
Once dismantled, the caravan is divided into separate material groups.
Recoverable materials are sent towards recycling where suitable. The remaining waste is transported to authorised disposal facilities.
Metals and reusable materials are separated for recycling
Steel chassis sections, aluminium and other metals may be recovered for recycling.
This metal is not bought from the owner and does not remove the need to pay for the service. Its typical scrap return of around £40 to £180 is small compared with the cost of dismantling, labour, loading, transport and disposal.
We do not remove items for parts sales.
Hazardous and non-recyclable waste is handled correctly
Broken glass, damaged electrical items, spoiled insulation and mixed panels need careful handling.
Not every material can be recycled. Anything unsuitable must still be transported and disposed of through an authorised route.
Tell us about fire damage, heavy mould or any material you are concerned about when requesting the quote.
The empty pitch is swept and left ready for its next use
We remove the agreed caravan waste and sweep loose debris caused by the dismantling.
The pitch is then ready for the park to inspect or prepare for its next use. Decking, bases, sheds or other outside structures remain unless their removal is included in writing.
Questions about static caravan dismantling and disposal
How quickly can you remove my static caravan?
The date depends on crew availability, park approval and completed utility disconnections.
Send the caravan details and photographs as early as possible. We will give you the available timing before you accept the quote.
Do I need permission from the holiday park?
Yes. Obtain the park's approval before work starts.
Ask whether it needs a removal date, contractor insurance, Natural Resources Wales registration details or evidence that the utilities have been disconnected.
Can you dismantle a caravan that cannot be towed?
Yes. We specialise in dismantling static caravans on their existing pitches.
The caravan does not need working wheels, tyres, brakes or towing equipment because it is never moved as a complete unit.
Do you disconnect gas, electricity, water and drainage?
This depends on the park's rules and the scope agreed in your quote.
Many parks insist that their own team or an approved tradesperson completes the disconnections. We will confirm what must be disconnected before our crew arrives.
Can I scrap my static caravan near me without arranging transport?
Yes. You do not need to hire a transporter for the complete unit.
Our crew dismantles the caravan on site and removes the resulting materials. The agreed price covers the specified labour, loading, transport and disposal.
Will I receive proof that the caravan was disposed of legally?
Yes, waste paperwork can be supplied for the job.
You may also request our Natural Resources Wales waste-carrier registration and public liability insurance details before confirming the booking.
