Waste removal in LS19, Leeds

Two places, one postcode

LS19 joins two places that behave differently. Rawdon drops towards the river Aire, with woodland edges, older stone houses and the pull of the valley road. Yeadon is higher and more open, a former wool town whose centre is largely stone and whose edges are twentieth century housing, with the airport above the top end. Guiseley touches the postcode at one side, so a few addresses here feel closer to the LS20 streets.

Sloping roads and stone frontages

Rawdon has stone terraces and villas on sloping roads, where a house can sit above or below street level and the front door may be up a flight of steps. Yeadon mixes mill-era terraces with interwar and later semis, some with drives and some with only the road to park on. Newer infill estates bring tight turning spaces. On a steep road a loaded van needs level ground, so tell us which side of the street the house is on and how many steps lead to the door.

Exposed roads, loose piles

Weather comes straight off the high ground here, and a loose heap of garden waste can spread across a drive in one gust. If you are stacking waste outside before collection, bag it or tie it, and put a note on anything you want kept. It also helps to say if your road is a bus route, because a stopped van needs a safe spot away from the stops.
