Scrapmobile

If you would like to offer your members, clients or colleagues a scrapstore experience in the comfort of your own venue, you should consider booking a visit from the amazing Scrapmobile.

The Scrapmobile visits events, clubs, societies, companies and community groups with a wide selection of our fabulous art and play materials.

Please make our job of delivering the scrap as easy as possible by reserving a suitable parking space for our use. The Scrapmobile is 5 metres long, 2 metres wide and 2½ metres high. Fully loaded it weighs 3½ tonnes. To unload using our ramp we need a 10m long space on a suitable hard surface.

All our scrap is packed into crates which are then loaded into roll-cages and trundled into the van. Ideally, when we arrive we want to roll the cages off the van and straight into the venue.

The roll-cages can be bumped up curbs and small single steps with care but cannot negotiate flights of stairs. If your venue does not have ramped or level access and/or you cannot reserve a parking or unloading space, please let us know in advance so that we can discuss alternative arrangements.

When suitable parking and/or access is not available we can:

  • unload the crates individually and carry them into your venue by hand (if you can supply sufficient numbers of volunteers to assist with this;
  • unload the crates and conduct an outdoor sale around the van (weather and space permitting); or
  • use the van as a mobile shop (this significantly limits the amount of scrap we can bring to the sale).
