A Cleaner, Safer & Greener Bradford District.
Bradford Council knows that making the district a cleaner, safer and greener environment is what matters to you the most. That is why we are investing in key areas such as Environmental Services, Street Wardens and Parks.
We are investing heavily in services and equipment to help tackle issues which you have highlighted as priorities for our communities. We are addressing issues such as graffiti, abandoned vehicles, fly-tipping, anti-social behaviour, crime reduction, rubbish collection, recycling and the provision of greener spaces.
The Council is committed to making the district a better place to live, work, play and visit.
But we can't do it alone! To really make a difference we need your help.
This webpage explains what we are doing to make our communities cleaner, safer and greener. It also provides information on how you can do your bit and get involved.
It's our district - so let's all be proud of it!
Cleaner
Our environment is one of the things that most affects our enjoyment of life and making the district cleaner is one of the Bradford Council's highest priorities.
The Council is working hard to make our district cleaner by improving street cleaning, increasing the number of litter bins, expanding recycling facilities, exploring alternative refuse disposal methods, cracking down on fly tipping and clearing derelict land of rubbish.
’An enormous amount of rubbish has been taken away, the area is so much cleaner and it was nice walking the beautiful clean streets.
Last year we:
- Spent £5million on street cleaning
- Collected 13,000 tonnes of litter and waste from the streets
- Removed 97% of abandoned cars within 48 hours
- Made 10.5 million kerbside pick ups
- Received over 2,500 visits to our refuse sites per day
- Collected over 215,000 tonnes of domestic waste in total
- Cleared 4,000 tonnes of dumped waste from 4,100 cases of fly tipping
- Served 1,448 enforcement notices, 517 of these were fixed penalty notices for littering
We plan to:
- Establish 13 area-based clean/green teams
- Introduce environment wardens in specific areas
- Improve our response time to dumping and fly tipping
- Continue to create clean neighbourhoods
- Take enforcement action using the new Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act
