Dealburn Road Recycling Centre Review

★★★★☆

The Dealburn Road site (often referred to as Low Moor) is a highly rated facility known for its clean, organized layout and exceptionally helpful staff. It serves as a major recycling point for the southern districts of Bradford.

A unique feature of this site is the Community RePaint scheme, where residents can drop off leftover tins of paint to be reused by local community groups. The site is well-spaced, making it easier to navigate than some of the more compact urban centers, and it is a preferred spot for disposing of large appliances and scrap metal.

Important for Visitors: You must display a valid Blue Resident Permit to enter. Note that Dealburn Road has a 1.8m height barrier at the entrance; larger vans should use Bowling Back Lane instead. Uniquely, this site is typically closed on Mondays, so plan your visit for Tuesday through Sunday.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Who is allowed to use Bradford Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs)?

A: Only residents of the Bradford District can use HWRCs, and a valid permit is required. People living outside the district are not permitted to use the sites.

Q: Do I need a permit to visit an HWRC, and what type might I need?

A: Yes. All vehicles must display a permit on entry. Cars and non-commercial vehicles need a resident permit, while vans, pickups, and trailers over 1.5 metres require a van permit.

Q: Can I take business or trade waste to an HWRC?

A: No. Waste from businesses, tradespeople, rental properties, or any commercial activity is not accepted at standard HWRCs and must be disposed of through approved commercial waste services.

Q: What limits apply to DIY waste such as soil or rubble?

A: Free DIY waste disposal is limited to one visit per week per household, with either two 50-litre bags/buckets or one large item within the size limit. Larger amounts must be paid for or disposed of privately.

Q: Can I walk or cycle into an HWRC instead of using a vehicle?

A: Yes. Residents who live nearby may enter on foot or by bicycle, but they must follow the same access route as vehicles and follow all site rules and staff instructions.
