Waste Disposal Wembley Service Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Waste Disposal Wembley provides waste collection and disposal services to domestic and commercial customers. By placing a booking, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully before confirming any service.

1. Definitions

In these Terms and Conditions, the following expressions shall have the meanings set out below:

Customer means the person or business making a booking for waste collection or related services.

Company means Waste Disposal Wembley, the provider of the waste collection and disposal services.

Services means any waste collection, removal, transportation, recycling, clearance or disposal service supplied by the Company to the Customer.

Waste means any items, materials, refuse or rubbish presented by the Customer for collection, removal and disposal under the Services.

Site means the address or location from which the waste is to be collected or where the services are to be performed.

2. Scope of Services

The Company provides waste collection and disposal services within its service areas, which include Wembley and surrounding locations. The specific nature of the Services, including the type and volume of waste to be collected, access requirements, timing and any additional tasks, will be agreed with the Customer during the booking process.

The Company will use reasonable care and skill in providing the Services, in accordance with applicable UK waste management laws and regulations. However, the Company does not guarantee that all waste can be collected or that every item presented will be suitable for the agreed Service.

3. Booking Process

3.1 The Customer may request a booking by telephone or other communication channels accepted by the Company. The Customer must provide accurate and complete information about the waste to be collected, including where relevant the type of items, approximate volume or weight, access details at the Site, any parking restrictions and any known hazards.

3.2 The Company may provide a provisional price estimate based on the information supplied by the Customer. This estimate is not binding. The final price may be adjusted if the actual nature or volume of the waste or Site conditions differ from those described at the time of booking.

3.3 A booking is only confirmed once the Company has accepted the request, agreed a collection date and, where required, received any initial payment or deposit. The Company reserves the right to decline any booking request at its absolute discretion.

3.4 The Customer is responsible for ensuring that an authorised adult is present at the Site at the agreed collection time, where required, to provide access, confirm the waste to be removed and approve any variations to the scope of the Service.

4. Customer Responsibilities

4.1 The Customer must ensure that the waste presented for collection is accurately described and is suitable for collection under the agreed Service. The Customer must not present any prohibited waste or hazardous substances without the prior written agreement of the Company.

4.2 The Customer must ensure safe and reasonable access to the Site for the Companys staff and vehicles at the agreed time. This includes arranging any necessary parking permissions, passes or permits and ensuring that the route to the waste is clear and safe.

4.3 The Customer is responsible for ensuring that all items to be removed are clearly identified and separated from items that are to remain at the Site. The Company will not be liable for the removal of items inadvertently included among the waste where they have not been clearly separated or identified.

4.4 The Customer must ensure that any fragile, sharp or potentially dangerous items are packed or presented safely so as not to endanger the Companys staff or others. The Company may refuse to handle any items that it considers unsafe.

5. Payments and Charges

5.1 The Companys charges are normally based on one or more of the following: the volume of waste collected, the weight of waste, the time taken on Site, the type of waste handled, the disposal or recycling costs, and any additional services requested.

5.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due on completion of the Service on the day of collection. The Company may require a deposit or full payment in advance for certain bookings, larger clearances or commercial contracts.

5.3 The Company accepts payment by methods notified to the Customer during the booking process. The Customer must ensure that payment can be made promptly when due. The Company reserves the right to withhold or discontinue Services if payment terms are not met.

5.4 All charges are stated inclusive or exclusive of VAT according to the information given at the time of booking. Where VAT is applicable, it will be charged in accordance with current UK legislation.

5.5 If the actual volume, weight or nature of the waste differs from the description given at the time of booking, or if Site access is more difficult than reasonably anticipated, the Company may adjust the price accordingly. The Customer will be informed of any change in price before the Service is carried out or continued. If the Customer does not accept the revised price, the Company may cancel the Service and the Customer may be responsible for a call-out or cancellation charge.

5.6 Where the Customer fails to pay any amount when due, the Company may charge interest on the overdue amount at the statutory rate permitted under UK law and may recover any reasonable costs of collection or enforcement.

6. Cancellations and Changes

6.1 The Customer may cancel or reschedule a booking by contacting the Company as soon as possible. Certain cancellation charges may apply depending on the notice given, the type of Service booked and any costs already incurred by the Company.

6.2 If the Customer cancels a booking with more than 24 hours notice before the agreed collection time, the Company will normally cancel without charge, unless a non-refundable deposit or specific arrangement has been agreed in advance.

6.3 If the Customer cancels within 24 hours of the agreed collection time, or fails to provide access at the time of collection, the Company may charge a reasonable cancellation or call-out fee to cover costs incurred, including staff time and travel.

6.4 The Company may cancel or reschedule a booking if it is unable to carry out the Service due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to severe weather, vehicle breakdown, accidents, road closures, staff illness, strikes or compliance with legal obligations. In such cases, the Company will seek to give the Customer as much notice as reasonably practicable and will offer an alternative collection date.

6.5 The Company reserves the right to cancel or terminate the Service if, on arrival at the Site, it reasonably concludes that the waste is substantially different in type or quantity from that described at the time of booking, that the Site conditions are unsafe, or that to proceed would breach any legal or regulatory requirement. In such cases, a call-out or partial charge may still be payable.

7. Waste Regulations and Prohibited Items

7.1 The Company operates in accordance with applicable UK waste management legislation and environmental regulations. All waste collected will be transported and disposed of using authorised facilities and methods, with a view to maximising recycling and minimising landfill where reasonably practicable.

7.2 The Customer must not present for collection any waste that is classified as hazardous, controlled or otherwise restricted unless the Company has expressly agreed in writing to handle such waste and the Customer has provided full and accurate details. Examples of such items include certain chemicals, asbestos, medical waste, pressurised containers, gas bottles, some electrical or electronic items and flammable substances.

7.3 The Company may refuse to collect any waste that it reasonably believes to be hazardous, illegal, contaminated, incorrectly described or otherwise not suitable for the agreed Service. The Company may, at its discretion, agree to collect such items for an additional charge and subject to separate terms.

7.4 The Customer is responsible for any fines, penalties, claims or costs arising from the provision of incorrect information about the waste, or from the inclusion of prohibited items, to the extent that such fines, penalties, claims or costs result from the Customers act or omission.

7.5 Title in the waste shall pass to the Company when it is loaded onto the Companys vehicle, unless otherwise required by law. Once the waste has been collected, the Customer has no further rights in it, except where any separate written agreement states otherwise.

8. Access, Parking and Site Conditions

8.1 The Customer must provide adequate access for the Companys vehicles and staff, including suitable parking arrangements close to the Site. Any parking fees or penalties incurred due to the Customers failure to arrange suitable parking may be charged to the Customer.

8.2 The Customer must ensure that the Site is safe and that all necessary health and safety precautions have been taken. The Company may refuse to carry out the Service or may limit its activities if it considers that the Site presents a risk to health, safety or property.

8.3 The Customer agrees to inform the Company of any particular risks, structural weaknesses, delicate surfaces, restricted spaces or other conditions that may affect the safe performance of the Service. The Company will take reasonable care but cannot accept responsibility for damage resulting from undisclosed or unavoidable Site conditions.

9. Liability and Limits of Responsibility

9.1 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall limit or exclude the Companys liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under UK law.

9.2 Subject to the above, the Company will not be liable for any indirect, consequential or purely economic loss, including loss of profit, loss of business opportunity, loss of data or loss of reputation arising out of or in connection with the Services.

9.3 The Companys total liability to the Customer in respect of any claim arising out of or in connection with the provision of Services, whether in contract, tort, negligence or otherwise, shall be limited to the total amount paid or payable by the Customer for the specific Service giving rise to the claim.

9.4 The Company will use reasonable care to avoid damage to the Customers property during the performance of the Services. However, the Company shall not be liable for minor scuffs, marks or damage that are reasonably incidental to the clearance or removal of bulky items where the Customer has been advised of the risk and has consented to proceed.

9.5 The Company shall not be liable for loss or damage arising from the removal of items mistakenly presented as waste where such items have not been clearly identified by the Customer as not to be taken.

10. Complaints and Disputes

10.1 If the Customer has any concerns or complaints about the Services, they should raise them with the Company as soon as possible, preferably within 48 hours of the collection date, so that the Company can investigate and seek to resolve the issue quickly.

10.2 The Company will review any complaint in good faith and may request further information or evidence from the Customer. Where appropriate, the Company may offer a remedy such as a partial refund, a repeat visit or another reasonable solution, at its discretion and subject to applicable law.

11. Data Protection and Privacy

11.1 The Company will collect and process personal information about Customers only to the extent necessary to manage bookings, provide Services, process payments and comply with legal obligations.

11.2 The Company will handle personal data in accordance with applicable UK data protection laws and will take reasonable steps to keep such data secure. Personal information will not be sold to third parties. It may be shared with authorised partners or agents where necessary to deliver the Services or meet legal or regulatory requirements.

12. Variation of Terms

12.1 The Company may revise these Terms and Conditions from time to time in order to reflect changes in the law, regulatory guidance, business practices or the nature of the Services. Updated terms will be made available to Customers and will apply to new bookings from the date of publication or notification.

12.2 The Terms and Conditions in force at the time of the Customers booking will continue to apply to that particular Service, unless a change is required by law or regulation or is agreed in writing between the Company and the Customer.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

13.1 These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or with the provision of the Services, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

13.2 The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising from or relating to these Terms and Conditions or the Services, provided that this does not limit any mandatory rights the Customer may have under applicable consumer protection laws.

14. General Provisions

14.1 If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found by a court or other competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the remaining provisions, which shall continue to be valid and enforceable.

14.2 No failure or delay by the Company in exercising any right, power or remedy under these Terms and Conditions shall operate as a waiver of that right, power or remedy, nor shall any partial exercise prevent any further exercise of that or any other right, power or remedy.

14.3 These Terms and Conditions, together with any written confirmation of booking or specific written agreement, constitute the entire agreement between the Customer and the Company in relation to the Services and supersede any previous statements, agreements or understandings, whether oral or written.
