A HUGE pile of rubbish was blocking a bus stop this morning.  

The waste appeared on Rooley Lane and was surrounded by red cones, blocking it off. 

One person who drove past this morning said: "I did a double-take when I saw it and wondered what had happened - it's a massive pile of rubbish."

It included cardboard boxes, plastic bags and bottles, crisp packets, and more.

By this afternoon, the waste had been cleared away.

A Bradford Council spokesperson said: “We were made aware of the waste pile on Rooley Lane.

"This was carried out for safety reasons by a waste service provider, upon the advice of the fire services. 

“We worked closely with the waste provider to ensure the clean-up was carried out promptly and all waste has now been removed.”

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service has been contacted for a comment.
