scrapping a caravan

3ps

Anybody ever scrapped a caravan?

I need to do this for a family member. Ideally somebody would come and take it but if necessary I can put it on a car trailer and bring it somewhere.

It's not in a state to be reused by anybody

What about the bits like cooker, fridge, windows, rooflights, sockets, etc?

Any of that any good?

If so, you could put it into buy and sell or your local ads paper free to take away and let somebody else have the hassle of getting rid of the worthless remains after taking out the usable bits.

Contact Jezza, Hamster and Captain slow.

They'll sort it out for you........they love caravans.:D;)

it's very old and probably hasn't been used since the family had teenage kids. I certainly wouldn't want anything from it. I'm guessing it had leaked too.

I'm sure it's not safe to tow anywhere... that's why I want it collected or I can winch it onto a trailer.

Stick it in the free section on adverts, you never know somebody might be looking for a hen house or something.

Contact the travellers, they would be glad of the scrap aluminium and what else goes with it. I got them to take one away several years ago. If they can tow it all the better.

Great idea. They could take it away, whip off the bits they want and then dump the rest of it on the side of the road so the tax paying public can pay to remove the rest of it.

At least It will be recycled and it also keep the council workers gamefully employed

Completely disagree with that. Aside from anything else the owner will be legally responsible for the proper disposal of the vehicle. Unless the "recyclers" mentioned have a waste disposal permit issued by their local council if it ends up at the side of the road it still belongs to you. Any costs involved in its removal will be yours, along with any fines due.

If anyone was going to give a Caravan to the travellers they would more than likely remove any form of ID from it. If the caravan was structuraly sound these guys may not want to dismantel it at all as it could be useful for storing horse food and keeping their dogs out of the wet.

Ok ...enough of the speculation of what a certain section of society may or may not do with an oul' caravan ...

Anyone with useful/practical suggestions?

Take a photo and stick it in the free section of www.adverts.ie, Jumbletown.ie or Gumtree

Tow it to the nearest dump and reverse it over the edge!

With the travellers inside it

Right, that's it ...enough BS in this thread. Red card for Halfdog, thread locked.


@ 3PS ...I guess contacting your local council for their proposals on PROPER disposal of that old caravan is probably your best bet.
