The same regulations and guidelines apply for managing commercial waste in Bradford as in the rest of the UK. Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, all companies must keep their waste safe and ensure it’s disposed of legally and responsibly. Businesses in Bradford have a legal duty of care to dispose of waste properly.

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has a guide for Bradford businesses and commercial waste to ensure all organisations uphold their duty of care. This explains that business rates don’t cover commercial waste or recycling collections and provides advice about finding registered waste carriers across Bradford.

There’s also the Bradford Council Trade Waste Service that can help companies in Bradford and the wider district meet compliance criteria with the Environmental Protection Act.

Reducing waste helps businesses in Bradford save money, improves the local environment, and moves the city closer to its recycling and waste management targets. There are a few ways Bradford businesses can reduce waste:

• Set up a recycling program with individual bins to separate and recycle as much of your commercial waste as possible.
• Reuse materials and products where possible rather than throwing them away.
• Ban single-use items like disposable cups and only buy reusable or recyclable items where possible, such as ensuring all packaging from deliveries is recyclable.
• Educate your employees about the importance of waste reduction across the business. Inform them about the benefits to Bradford and the company. You could even provide mandatory training.
• Use the City of Bradford’s Business Waste Handbook for further advice and solutions to reduce and manage commercial waste in the West Yorkshire city.

Businesses and industries in Bradford produce around 1.3 million tonnes of greenhouse gases every year. To tackle this various places provide support for businesses in Bradford to help improve their sustainability, such as:

• Install a recycling program that has clearly labelled bins for paper, plastic, cardboard, glass, and dry mixed recycling.
• Provide training for employees about the importance of recycling to help the business and the wider Bradford district.
