1.5 Contract: The agreement between you and us for the provision of Services, comprising these Terms and Conditions and the specific details confirmed in your booking.
2. Scope of Services
2.1 We provide waste collection and disposal services primarily within Westminster and surrounding areas, subject to availability and operational capacity.
2.2 Our Services may include domestic waste removal, commercial waste collection, bulky waste clearance, garden waste removal, office clearance and other similar waste management activities as agreed at the time of booking.
2.3 We reserve the right to refuse to handle any items or Waste that we reasonably believe to be hazardous, prohibited, unlawful, unsafe, incorrectly described, contaminated or beyond the scope of the agreed Service.
3. Booking Process
3.1 You may request a booking by telephone, email or through any booking system we make available. Any indication of price or availability given before confirmation is an estimate only and is not binding on us.
3.2 A Contract is formed only when we confirm acceptance of your booking and provide a booking reference, confirmation message or email, or when we commence the Services, whichever is earlier.
3.3 When placing a booking, you must provide accurate and complete information, including but not limited to:
(a) Your full name, contact details and service address;
(b) Location and access details for the collection point;
(c) The nature, approximate volume, weight and type of Waste to be collected;
(d) Any special handling requirements, access restrictions, parking limitations or time constraints.
3.4 Our quote and any agreed price are based on the information you provide at the time of booking. If, upon arrival, the Waste is materially different in quantity, type, accessibility or risk from what was described, we may adjust the price, vary the Service, or decline to carry out some or all of the work.
3.5 Where a time slot is provided, it is an estimate only. While we aim to attend within agreed time frames, attendance may be affected by traffic, operational issues or circumstances beyond our control. We shall not be liable for minor delays that do not materially affect the overall provision of the Services.
4. Access and Customer Obligations
4.1 You must ensure that we have safe, suitable and unhindered access to the premises, buildings, rooms, outdoor areas and Waste that we are booked to collect.
4.2 You are responsible for securing any necessary permissions for access, including from landlords, building managers, neighbours, or relevant authorities where applicable.
4.3 You must ensure that the Waste is presented in a safe manner and that any sharp, heavy, fragile or potentially dangerous items are clearly identified and, where appropriate, safely contained or packaged.
4.4 You agree to provide us with accurate information regarding any hazardous or special waste, including but not limited to chemicals, solvents, oils, paints, clinical waste, electrical items requiring separate treatment, or items containing asbestos.
4.5 If we are unable to access the site or the Waste due to your act or omission, or if health and safety concerns prevent our staff from carrying out the work, we may at our discretion charge a call-out fee or an amount to cover our wasted time and costs.
5. Pricing and Payment
5.1 Our charges may be based on volume, weight, labour time, type of Waste, access conditions, distance travelled or a combination of these factors, as explained to you at the time of booking.
5.2 Unless otherwise stated, all prices are quoted in pounds sterling and are exclusive of VAT. Where VAT applies, it will be charged at the prevailing rate.
5.3 We may require full or partial payment in advance, a deposit, or authorisation of a payment card prior to providing the Services. Any such requirements will be notified to you when you book.
5.4 Payment is due on completion of the Service unless otherwise agreed in writing. For domestic customers, payment is typically required on the day by card, bank transfer or other accepted methods. For business customers with an approved account, payment terms will be as agreed in writing.
5.5 If payment is not received by the due date, we may charge interest on the overdue amount at the statutory rate permitted under UK law, accruing daily until payment is made in full. We may also suspend further Services until outstanding sums are paid.
5.6 You are responsible for any bank charges, transfer fees or payment processing costs incurred in making payment to us.
6. Cancellations and Amendments
6.1 You may cancel or amend your booking by contacting us directly using the details provided in your booking confirmation.
6.2 If you cancel more than 24 hours before the scheduled collection time, no cancellation fee will usually apply, unless we have incurred specific costs on your behalf, in which case we may deduct a reasonable sum from any refund due.
6.3 If you cancel within 24 hours of the scheduled collection time, we may charge a cancellation fee to cover our administration, resource allocation and any loss of opportunity to undertake other work.
6.4 If we arrive at the agreed location and are unable to carry out the Service due to your absence, lack of access, unsafe conditions, or because the Waste is different from what was described, this may be treated as a late cancellation and a charge may be applied.
6.5 We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule any booking for operational or safety reasons, including but not limited to vehicle breakdowns, staff shortages, extreme weather, access issues or compliance with legal obligations. Where possible, we will offer an alternative appointment. Our liability in such cases will be limited to any pre-paid amounts for Services not yet provided.
