2. Scope of Services
2.1 We provide waste collection and disposal services within the Service Area, subject to availability, access, and compliance with applicable waste regulations.
2.2 Our services may include one-off waste clearances, regular scheduled collections, bulky waste removal, garden waste clearance, and other related services as agreed at the time of booking.
2.3 We reserve the right to refuse to collect any Waste that does not comply with these Terms and Conditions, is unsafe to handle, or is prohibited by law or regulatory guidance.
3. Booking Process
3.1 You may request a booking by contacting us by telephone or other communication method we make available. A booking is only accepted once we confirm the details of the Service and provide a confirmation of the appointment or scheduled collection.
3.2 When making a booking, you must provide accurate information regarding:
a) The type and approximate quantity or volume of Waste.
b) The address for collection within the Service Area.
c) Access restrictions, parking arrangements, and any relevant property details.
d) Any items that may be hazardous or require special handling.
3.3 Our quotation is based on the information you provide at the time of booking. If, on arrival, the Waste is materially different in type, volume, or weight, or access is significantly more difficult than described, we may adjust the price, amend the Service, or decline to carry out the collection.
3.4 Bookings are subject to our availability. We will use reasonable efforts to attend at the agreed time and date, but all times and dates are estimates only and not guaranteed. We will not be liable for minor delays due to traffic, access issues, or events outside our reasonable control.
4. Access and Customer Responsibilities
4.1 You are responsible for ensuring that we have safe and reasonable access to the collection point at the agreed time.
4.2 You must provide suitable instructions regarding entry and any security arrangements. Where necessary, you must ensure that someone is present at the collection address to provide access and confirm the Waste to be removed.
4.3 You must ensure that the Waste is ready for collection, is not contaminated with prohibited materials, and is located in a safe position where it can be accessed and removed without risk of injury or damage.
4.4 If we are unable to gain access, or if the Waste cannot be collected due to your failure to comply with these obligations, we may charge a call-out fee or treat the booking as a cancellation in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
5. Payments and Charges
5.1 Charges for our services will be confirmed at the time of booking, based on the type, volume, and weight of Waste, the nature of the property, access considerations, and any additional services requested.
5.2 We may require full or partial payment in advance, or payment upon completion of the Service, as communicated at the time of booking.
5.3 Payment may be made by cash, card, bank transfer, or any other method we accept. You are responsible for ensuring that payment is made in full and on time.
5.4 If the actual volume or nature of Waste on the day of collection results in a higher charge than originally quoted, we will inform you of any additional cost before proceeding, where reasonably practicable. If you do not agree to the revised charge, we may decline to carry out the Service and may charge a reasonable call-out fee.
5.5 All prices are inclusive of disposal fees and, where applicable, any taxes that may be levied on the Service unless explicitly stated otherwise.
6. Cancellations and Amendments
6.1 You may cancel or amend your booking by contacting us directly. Cancellations and amendments are only valid once acknowledged by us.
6.2 If you cancel more than 24 hours before the scheduled collection time, no cancellation fee will normally be charged, unless otherwise stated at the time of booking.
6.3 If you cancel less than 24 hours before the scheduled collection time, we reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee to cover our reasonable costs, including any allocation of vehicles, staff, and disposal arrangements.
6.4 If we are unable to perform the Service on the scheduled date due to events beyond our reasonable control, such as severe weather, vehicle breakdown, or access restrictions not caused by us, we will offer to reschedule. We will not be liable for any losses arising from such delays or rearrangements.
6.5 We may cancel the Service at any time if you are in breach of these Terms and Conditions, if providing the Service would be unsafe or unlawful, or if the waste presented is fundamentally different from that described at the time of booking.
