About this business
A small trade waste business collecting general and recycling waste from shops, cafés, offices and workshops in Bradford. It began in 2022 and runs with 5 people from leased suburban premises. Turnover has grown each year to £680k, while EBITDA has slipped from a peak of £139k to £126k as costs have risen, though the margin remains healthy at about 19%.
