Every Bradford business creates some level of general waste, as not all rubbish is recyclable. It’s a legal requirement that licensed waste carriers remove any general waste from your premises to ensure responsible disposal. Commercial general waste covers everything you’d throw away in your household green bin provided by Bradford Council.
While Bradford Council provides green bins for domestic general waste removal, businesses must arrange commercial waste collection to get rid of any non-recyclable rubbish safely. At Divert we provide free bins for general waste in Bradford – you just pay for collection by our licensed waste carriers. And we divert all general waste away from landfill.

How commercial general waste collection works in Bradford
Request a free quote for general waste collection in Bradford based on the size and number of bins you need, how often you want them collected, and where you’re based. Then we can book your collections and will deliver your general waste bins for free. Fill each bin with non-recyclable rubbish and within any weight limits.
Wheel the full general waste bins to the agreed collection point ahead of the pick-up time. One of our purple trucks will visit and remove them, possibly replacing them with new bins. Our licensed waste carriers then drive your general waste to a nearby waste transfer station in Bradford.
The general waste is then checked, sorted, and sent to a facility away from landfill. This may be to an energy recovery plant, where the waste is incinerated and used to generate heat and energy. This avoids your general waste ending up in landfill and adding to local pollution levels.
