4. Quotations and Pricing

4.1 Quotations

Any quotation provided before the collection is based on the information you supply about the waste to be collected. Quotations are normally given as a fixed price or as a price range depending on the estimated volume or weight of waste and the level of labour required.

We reserve the right to adjust the price on arrival if:

the actual volume, weight or nature of the waste differs from that described at the time of booking

there are additional items not previously declared

access is significantly more difficult than described or requires additional labour or time

If the adjusted price is not acceptable to you, you may decline the service. In such circumstances, we reserve the right to charge a call-out or cancellation fee to cover our costs.

If payment is not made when due, we reserve the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at the statutory rate applicable to business-to-business or business-to-consumer transactions, as relevant, together with any reasonable debt recovery costs.

6.3 Cancellations by Waste Removal Wembley

We may cancel or reschedule a booking at any time if affected by events outside our reasonable control, such as severe weather, traffic disruption, vehicle breakdown, staff illness, or safety or legal concerns. In such cases, we will seek to notify you as early as reasonably practicable and offer an alternative booking time. We will not be liable for any losses arising from such cancellation or rescheduling, other than refunding any sums paid in advance for services not performed.

7. Customer Obligations

7.1 Access and Parking

You must ensure that we have safe and reasonable access to the property and the waste to be collected. This includes arranging suitable parking for our vehicle where necessary, and ensuring any required permits or permissions are in place. If access or parking is not available or significantly restricted, we may need to adjust the price or, in some cases, may be unable to carry out the service.

7.2 Accurate Information

You are responsible for providing accurate and complete information about the waste and the working environment. If we discover that the waste includes items that are hazardous or prohibited, or that the nature of the work is substantially different from what was described, we may refuse to proceed, adjust the quotation, or require additional safety measures.

7.3 Presence on Site

For domestic customers, we normally require that an adult is present at the property during collection to grant access, confirm the waste to be removed and make payment. For commercial customers, an authorised representative must be available to provide instructions and authorise completion.

8. Waste Types and Prohibited Items

8.1 General Waste

We collect a wide variety of non-hazardous household, garden, office and light construction waste. All waste must be capable of being safely handled by our team and loaded into our vehicle.

8.2 Hazardous and Restricted Waste

Certain materials are classified as hazardous or controlled waste under UK law and may not be collected by us, or may only be collected under specific conditions and at additional cost. These items may include but are not limited to:

asbestos and asbestos-containing materials

clinical or medical waste, sharps or biological materials

industrial chemicals, solvents, oils or fuels

paint, varnish, adhesives and similar substances in liquid form

gas bottles, pressurised containers and certain batteries

electrical or electronic equipment in certain categories, depending on current regulations.

9. Compliance with Waste Regulations

9.1 Duty of Care

Waste Removal Wembley operates in accordance with applicable UK waste management legislation and guidance, including the duty of care requirements for waste carriers and waste transfer. We will transport and dispose of collected waste only at authorised facilities and will, where appropriate, seek to prioritise reuse and recycling.

9.2 Waste Transfer Notes

For commercial or construction waste, and in any other circumstances where required by law, we may issue or complete waste transfer documentation describing the type and quantity of waste collected and the method of disposal. You agree to provide any information reasonably required for such documentation.

9.3 Customer Legal Obligations

As the producer or holder of the waste, you have certain legal responsibilities under UK law, including a duty to ensure that your waste is transferred to an authorised carrier. By engaging Waste Removal Wembley, you confirm that you have the right to dispose of the waste, and that it does not include any materials whose disposal would breach environmental, health and safety or other regulations.

10. Liability and Limitations

10.1 Our Responsibility

We will provide the services with reasonable care and skill, using competent staff and appropriate equipment.

any loss or damage arising from your failure to provide accurate information, adequate access or a safe working environment

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

10.3 Customer Responsibility for Property

You are responsible for ensuring that any items not intended for removal are clearly separated or identified. We accept no liability for items mistakenly presented as waste or left in bags, boxes or containers with waste, unless such loss arises directly from our negligence and could reasonably have been avoided.

We will handle your information in accordance with applicable UK data protection laws and only retain it for as long as necessary for these purposes or as required by law.
