How bulky waste collection works in Bradford
Let us know the bulky items you need collecting, where from in Bradford, and when for a free quote. If you’re happy with the fixed price we’ll book a time and date for the collection. One of our purple vans with a couple of our team will come out and load everything into the van.
They’ll lift and carry our bulky items, providing effortless removal for you. Once everything is in the van they’ll take it to a nearby waste transfer station in Bradford. Here it’s all checked, sorted, and sent for recycling, reuse, or responsible disposal – depending on the waste type.
For example, any furniture in decent condition and working appliances may be donated to charity or for a community cause. Wooden shelves could be sent for treatment and recycling alongside other wood materials, while any sofas containing POPs will be incinerated safely, in line with government regulations.
