Marketplace Collection in Garforth

One trip, planned properly, from a town with nowhere to stop

Main Street is the shopping spine and the through route at the same time, lined with bus stops, loading restrictions and constant kerbside activity, so there is very little room to hold a long wheelbase van. The Main Street and station car parks are full of commuters from early on a weekday, and some of the retail car parks have height barriers. A mid-morning collection here is a different job from the same collection at half seven in the evening, and we will say so when you send the details.

Out on the commuter estates the layout does the rest. Ninelands Lane and Barley Hill Road run into narrow cul-de-sacs and closes with small turning heads and cars parked both sides, and the older 1960s and 1970s estate houses are exactly where the good listings come from, because their owners are downsizing into the newer apartments near Lidgett Lane. Big wardrobes, full dining sets, three-piece suites. Worth measuring your own hallway first.

What Garforth marketplace & ebay collection usually involves

• Send photos and rough measurements before the day, because at eighteen miles out a wasted trip costs everybody an afternoon
• Main Street has time-limited and loading-only bays with double yellows at the junctions, so central pickups are timed or moved to a side street
• The Main Street and station car parks are commuter-full from early morning, and some retail car parks have height barriers that rule a Transit out
• Closes off Ninelands Lane and Barley Hill Road have small turning heads, so the van often stands on the through road and we carry in
• Junction 46 and 47 of the M1 and the A63 through the town both congest at peak, so we aim collections either side of the rush
