Bradford Waste Chasers Ltd

The aims of the company are to promote waste reduction and recycling in West Yorkshire.

We do this through providing confidential paper shredding, data destruction, paper recycling and card recycling services all across West Yorkshire.

Our History

Bradford Waste Chasers is a not-for-profit, co-operative company that grew out of a voluntary group called Bradford Recyclers in 1989.

Why a Cooperative?

As a co-op, we aren’t bound by stifling hierarchical management structures; we have no bosses and no shareholders. Instead we work collectively to benefit our members, society and meet our shared aim of promoting waste reduction in West Yorkshire. Co-ops are a truly democratic management structure, in which we all have an equal voice and equal pay.

Whos who?

We have one warehouse, two trucks, three high volume shredding machines, five staff members and one cat. As a small worker’s co-op, each of us is familiar with most aspects of the company’s day-to-day running. This means that anyone you speak to should be able to answer a general enquiry.
