Glass waste in Bradford comes in many shapes, sizes, and colours. There are more than 750 restaurants, cafes, and canteens in the Bradford district and more than 250 pubs. They all get through lots of glass wine, beer, and soft drinks bottles of varying colours, as well as jars for condiments, ingredients, and more.
Recycling glass Bradford businesses produce avoids it going to landfill and helps protect the local environment. Companies must arrange commercial waste collection of any glass waste to ensure responsible, safe, and legal recycling. We provide free bins and can collect glass waste anywhere in Bradford from your business on a regular or one-off basis.

How commercial glass recycling works in Bradford
Tell us how many bins you need for your glass waste, how often you want them collected, and where your business is based in Bradford. We’ll provide a free quote tailored to your needs and can advise on the best solutions if you’re unsure. Then we can book in delivery and collection of your glass bins.
Simply fill each bin with your glass waste, which can include bottles and jars of mixed colours, shapes, and sizes. Ensure the waste glass you put in each bin is within its weight limit to avoid any overweight charges. Then one of our purple trucks will come and remove your bins at the agreed time and date.
Daily, weekly, and fortnightly collections of glass waste bins in Bradford are available. Our licensed waste carriers will drive your glass waste to a nearby waste transfer station for sorting. It’s then sent for recycling, where the glass is cleaned, crushed, heated, and moulded into new glass items.

Local glass recycling centres in Bradford
Many supermarkets and council car parks across Bradford have bottle banks where you can recycle glass bottles and jars from home. Ensure they’re clean and dry, then you can recycle them with their lids on. You can also recycle domestic glass waste at the eight household waste recycling centres (HWRCs) in Bradford.
However, you can only take commercial glass waste to the two waste transfer stations in the Bradford district. These are at Bowling Back Lane and Keighley HWRCs. You must be a licensed waste carrier to transport any glass for recycling at either site. Charges apply depending on the amount, with weighbridges in place at both sites.
Bradford waste transfer stations
Bradford Council runs both waste transfer stations that accept commercial glass waste. They both have the same opening hours and contact details. Find these below as well as more information about Bradford HWRCs online.
