What can you recycle in Bradford?

How is waste recycled in Bradford?

Arrange delivery of free recycling bins in Bradford to separate and store each type of recyclable rubbish you produce safely. One of our licensed waste carriers will collect them when they’re full at an agreed pickup point and time. They’ll transport these bins to a nearby recycling centre in Bradford.

How your waste is recycled in Bradford depends on the type of rubbish. A basic overview of recycling common materials:

  • Paper and cardboard recycling – first the paper and cardboard are cleaned, then pulped, and turned into fresh paper and cardboard products.
  • Wood waste recycling – any timber will be reused where possible. Waste wood that can’t be reused is chipped or shredded and used to fuel biomass power stations or as animal bedding.
  • Plastic recycling – the type of plastic waste affects how it’s recycled (if at all). When plastic can be recycled it’s normally melted down and repurposed to create new plastic products.
  • Metal recycling – any metal waste that’s either ferrous or nonferrous metals are cleaned and then melted down and recycled into new metal parts and products.
  • Textile recycling – clothes and fabrics still in decent condition can be cleaned and donated, sold, or reused. Others that are beyond repair or not fit for use are shredded and used as filler material for cushions, bedding, furniture, and other products.
  • Glass recycling – waste glass is cleaned and then melted down to make new glass products. Sometimes it may be crushed and used to create abrasives and for road surfacing.
