Bradford Council operates a paid bulk household furniture collection service. There is also a paid collection service for large electrical items.
You will be given the date that your waste will be collected when you book a collection.
Before you dispose of any unwanted furniture, why not donate it to a local furniture project that will re-use it! To arrange a free collection for any suitable items please contact any of the Bradford based furniture projects:
You could also contact a local charity shop, advertise it on Freecycle, Gum Tree, eBay, Preloved or Facebook.
For more information visit our furniture reuse web page.
Please try and recycle items where possible and dispose of items safely using your local Household Waste Recycling Centre.
(each entry in this list counts as one item)

We work with a specialist recycling contractor who collects and disposes of unwanted electrical items (domestic household items only). Where possible our contractor Waste Care will try and re-use, repair or recycle electrical items.
There will be a charge of £5 per visit.
We will only collect a maximum of two large appliances (fridge freezer,Washing machine) per visit to the property, you may put smaller electrical goods (microwaves, Vacuum Cleaners, etc) with the larger items.
Bulk electrical items should be placed at the front of the premises at ground floor level with clear access before 7am on the day of collection. The Contractor will not collect appliances from inside the property or where there are steps or stairs to climb.
Once you have booked your bulk waste collection and been told when your collection date is, please ensure that:
Please note that collection staff will not enter homes, sheds, garages and outbuildings.

Yes. You will be charged according to the number of items you want collecting and can use the service as many times a year as you wish.
The crew can only take items listed for collection on the day. Any extra items will not be taken. If you have extra items, please contact us at least 2 days before the collection day to add them.
Both collection services operate on a postcode basis. Your collection date depends on your post code.
Bulky items are collected Tuesday to Friday 6am to 5pm.
Electrical items are collected Monday to Friday 6am to 5pm
In the event you wish to cancel your collection, confirmation of this must be made by telephone 2 days before the scheduled collection date for a refund to be made.
If the reason for non-collection is because the Council does not attend, for example, due to bad weather conditions, we will attempt to collect the items the following collection day for your postcode. However, if you wish to cancel in such cases a refund can be given.
If we attend the address and the items:
