Rubbish removal in Bradford: the local guide
Bradford is a city of tightly packed Victorian mill terraces, back to backs and steep hillside streets, from Manningham and Girlington across to Wibsey, Buttershaw and Queensbury. A lot of these homes have no driveway and on-street parking only, which makes shifting a sofa or clearing a full house hard work on your own. Our two-person Bradford teams carry everything out for you, up or down the stairs, along the back alley or off the top of the hill, so you never lift a thing.
Areas we cover across Bradford
We collect right across the BD postcodes, including the city centre and Little Germany (BD1), Eccleshill and Bolton Woods (BD2), Barkerend and Bradford Moor (BD3), Bierley and Holme Wood (BD4), Bankfoot and West Bowling (BD5), Wibsey and Odsal (BD6), Great Horton and Lidget Green (BD7), Manningham and Girlington (BD8), Heaton and Frizinghall (BD9) and Idle and Thackley (BD10), plus Thornton, Queensbury, Clayton and Allerton, and out to Shipley, Baildon, Bingley and Keighley.

Bradford Council bulky waste, or a Kruze collection?
We will always be straight with you. Bradford Council runs a bulky waste collection at £30 for up to three items, booked online through their portal, and it is a fair option if you can wait for a date, carry everything out to the kerb yourself and only have a couple of things. It will not take fridges or freezers on that booking, and it will not come inside for you.
A Kruze collection starts from £24.99, we come the same day across most of Bradford when you book before noon, we take almost anything including fridges, sofas and mattresses, and we do all the lifting from any room. You pay for the space your waste fills in the van, so a few items cost less than a full load, and every job comes with a waste transfer note.
Your nearest Bradford tip
If you would rather take it yourself, the main household waste recycling centres are Bowling Back Lane (BD4 8SZ) and Midland Road in Manningham (BD8 7DQ), open seven days a week with the weighbridge shut between noon and half past. Remember that you need a resident permit to get in, and a separate van or trailer permit if you are not in an ordinary car, with only a set number of van visits a year and vans accepted at Bowling Back Lane or Keighley only. For a full van load of junk that is a lot of trips and paperwork, which is exactly the job we take off your hands.
The Bradford jobs we do most
Around the university and the inner terraces of Great Horton, Manningham and Lidget Green we clear plenty of end of tenancy and student houses, hauling out old mattresses, broken flat pack and bagged waste at short notice. Across the family suburbs of Idle, Thornbury, Wibsey and Queensbury it is more garden clearances, sheds, fencing and the occasional full house clearance after a move or a bereavement. Whatever the job, one fixed price covers the labour, the van and licensed disposal, with no permit to arrange and nothing for you to carry.
Stay on the right side of the law
Whoever you use, the waste stays your responsibility. Bradford Council can issue a householder duty of care fine of £400, reduced to £250 if you pay early, if you hand your rubbish to someone unlicensed and it is then fly-tipped. Always check your carrier holds a waste carrier licence, and always keep the transfer note. Kruze is a fully licensed waste carrier, licence CBDU597687, and you get that paperwork on every single job, so you are always covered.
Moving out of Bradford as well?
Clearing out and moving out often land in the same week. Kruze also runs man and van in Bradford from £75 for the first hour and full house removals in Bradford from £210, so the same crew that knows the Manningham and Shipley streets can shift what you are keeping and clear what you are not.
