Household Waste Recycling Centres across the district are starting to return to business as usual. Currently 6 of the 8 HWRCs are open with some operating different hours, however, this will change over the next few weeks.
From today Bowling Back Lane and Royd Ings Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC) will return to their normal opening times during the day.
Bowling Back Lane HWRC, Bradford will be open from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm on Saturdays and 9am to 4pm on Sundays.
Royd Ings Ave HWRC, Keighley will be open from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm on Saturdays and 9am to 4pm on Sundays.
They will no longer have late night openings.
Plans to open Ford Hill HWRC, Queensbury as soon as possible are underway. Unfortunately, Sugden End HWRC, Keighley will not open until a safe and stable operating environment, including traffic management and 2m social distancing, can be guaranteed.
Cllr Sarah Ferriby, Bradford Council’s Executive Member for Healthy People and Places, said: “The re-opening of the HWRCs has proved extremely popular with our residents. It is great that we are able to gradually return to business as usual, without increasing the risk to health of our residents and staff.”
Cars with trailers and vans with domestic waste are now able to use any site – they must have the relevant permit.
Don't forget to take your HWRC permit with you to access the sites.
The bulky waste service is also operating. There is a small charge which people can book and pay for over the phone or through our website.
Items that will be collected include furniture, beds, bikes, carpets, mattresses, garden furniture and even bags of garden waste.
For further information about HWRCs or to arrange a bulky waste collection, please go to our website or call 01274 431000.
Getting rid of PPE
If you wear a cloth face covering in public, you should wash it after use in line with the manufacturer’s instructions. If it’s not washable, is worn out or disposable, you should put it in your green general waste bin. You must not put used face coverings of any kind or Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as gloves, into the recycling bin.
Please don't drop them as litter – it’s a criminal offence and you may be fined.
