What to know before visiting Bowling Back Lane Tip
1Finding the Entrance
Situated in the BD4 area, this compound is highly accessible from Wakefield Road. If you are driving past the Leisure Exchange, you are only a few minutes away from the main gates.
2Bradford Resident Passes
To access this rubbish tip, you must display a valid resident's permit in your windscreen. If you have recently moved, a physical copy of your latest council tax bill will suffice for entry.
3Van and Trailer Allowances
Standard family cars can usually drive straight in, but bringing a hired van or a towed trailer requires prior authorisation. Make sure you apply for the appropriate vehicle permit online before packing your load.
4Commercial Clearances
The household waste section is strictly for domestic use. Tradespeople attempting to bypass commercial disposal fees will be redirected to the paid weighbridge facilities immediately.
5Safety and Sorting
Separate your recyclables into distinct categories at home to minimise your time on the walkways. Wearing sturdy, closed-toe footwear is strongly advised to protect against stray nails or broken glass.
6Banned Materials
You cannot dispose of certain highly dangerous items here. Staff will outright refuse any form of asbestos sheeting or pressurised oxygen cylinders for safety reasons.
7The Revive Shop
Do not throw away perfectly good furniture or working electronics. Drop them off at the dedicated on-site reuse shop, where they are cleaned up and sold to support local charities.
