These Terms and Conditions govern the provision of waste collection and disposal services by Waste Disposal Knightsbridge to residential and commercial customers. By booking or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully before placing a booking for any waste clearance or related service.
1. Definitions
In these Terms and Conditions, the following expressions have the meanings set out below:
Customer means the individual, business, or organisation booking or receiving the waste collection or disposal service.
Company means Waste Disposal Knightsbridge, the service provider.
Services means waste collection, removal, clearance, transportation, and lawful disposal of waste, together with any related services provided by the Company.
Waste means any material to be removed by the Company as agreed with the Customer, excluding any prohibited or hazardous materials except where specifically agreed in writing and compliant with applicable regulations.
Service Area means the geographical area in which the Company offers its waste collection and disposal services, including Knightsbridge and surrounding locations as determined by the Company from time to time.
2. Scope of Services
The Company provides scheduled and one-off waste collection and disposal services within its Service Area. Services may include household waste removal, commercial waste collection, bulky item removal, garden waste clearance, and other forms of non-hazardous waste collections, subject to agreement at the time of booking.
The exact nature and scope of the Services will be agreed during the booking process, based on the information provided by the Customer regarding the type, quantity, and location of the waste to be collected.
The Company reserves the right to refuse collection of any waste that is prohibited by law, incorrectly described, unsafe to handle, or outside the scope of the agreed Services.
3. Booking Process
Bookings for waste collection services can be made by telephone or other communication methods offered by the Company. The Customer must provide accurate details of the waste to be collected, including approximate volume, type of items, location within the property, and any access restrictions.
Upon receiving the Customer’s request, the Company will provide an indicative quotation or price estimate based on the information supplied. This quotation may be subject to confirmation following inspection of the waste at the time of collection.
A booking is only confirmed when the Company has accepted the Customer’s request, provided a collection date or time window, and the Customer has accepted any applicable charges or deposit requirements. The Company may, at its sole discretion, decline any booking request.
The Customer is responsible for ensuring that all contact details, including address, telephone number, and any access instructions, are correct at the time of booking and updated if necessary prior to the collection date.
4. Service Availability and Access
Services are provided subject to availability within the Service Area and may be restricted by capacity, operational constraints, or local conditions. The Company will use reasonable endeavours to attend on the agreed date and within any indicated time window but does not guarantee exact arrival times.
The Customer must ensure that the Company’s team has safe, reasonable, and unobstructed access to the waste at the agreed time. This includes arranging for parking permissions, gate codes, building access, lift access, or any other arrangements necessary for the safe removal of waste.
If access is not available or significantly restricted on arrival, the Company may charge a call-out fee, apply waiting charges, or treat the booking as a late cancellation at its discretion.
5. Customer Responsibilities
The Customer must ensure that only waste agreed during the booking process is presented for collection, or that any additional waste is promptly disclosed to the collection team so that any supplementary charges can be agreed before removal.
The Customer confirms that they either own the waste or have full authority from the owner to request its removal and disposal. The Customer agrees to indemnify the Company against any claims arising from removal of items where the Customer did not have the necessary authority.
Waste should be reasonably accessible and, where appropriate, bagged, boxed, or otherwise prepared in accordance with instructions given by the Company. The Company reserves the right to refuse loose or uncontained waste where it presents health or safety risks.
The Customer must not include prohibited or hazardous items among general waste without prior written agreement. Examples of such items may include asbestos, chemicals, medical waste, pressurised containers, flammable liquids, gas bottles, and certain electrical or electronic items requiring special handling under relevant regulations.
6. Pricing and Payment Terms
The price for the Services will typically be based on the type and volume of waste, labour time required, access conditions, and any disposal charges imposed by waste facilities.
Any quotation provided before the collection is an estimate based on information supplied by the Customer. The final price may be adjusted on site to reflect the actual volume, type, or weight of waste, or any additional work required, provided such changes are explained to the Customer in advance of commencement or continuation of the work.
Unless otherwise agreed, payment is due immediately upon completion of the service. The Company may require part or full payment in advance or a deposit to secure the booking.
The Company accepts payment methods notified to the Customer during the booking process. All charges are stated in pounds sterling and may be subject to value added tax or other applicable taxes, which will be added at the prevailing rate where relevant.
If the Customer fails to make payment when due, the Company may suspend further services and may charge interest on overdue sums at the statutory rate until payment is received in full. The Customer will be responsible for all reasonable costs incurred in pursuing unpaid invoices, including legal and collection costs.
7. Cancellations and Amendments
The Customer may cancel or amend a booking by contacting the Company using the details supplied at the time of booking.
Where the Customer cancels more than 24 hours before the scheduled collection time, any deposit or prepayment may be refunded or applied to a rescheduled booking, subject to the Company’s discretion and any administrative costs.
Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled collection time may incur a cancellation fee up to the full value of the booking, in recognition of allocated resources and potential lost work.
If the Company arrives at the premises and is unable to complete the service due to lack of access, inaccurate information, or other circumstances beyond the Company’s reasonable control, this may be treated as a late cancellation and a call-out or cancellation fee may be charged.
The Company reserves the right to cancel or reschedule a booking due to operational reasons, vehicle breakdown, staff availability, severe weather, safety concerns, or other circumstances outside its reasonable control. In such cases, the Company will endeavour to notify the Customer as soon as practicable and will arrange an alternative appointment or refund any prepayments for services not carried out.
8. Performance of Services
The Company will carry out the Services with reasonable care and skill, using staff and equipment appropriate to the nature of the work. The collection team will load the waste into the Company’s vehicle and remove it for lawful disposal at licensed facilities.
Where waste needs to be removed from inside a property, the Customer must ensure that a responsible adult is present throughout the collection and that the area is safe for the team to operate. The Company will take reasonable care to avoid damage but is not responsible for minor scuffs or marks that can occur when moving bulky items through tight spaces, subject to the liability provisions set out in these Terms.
Unless specifically agreed, the Company will not undertake dismantling of fixtures, permanent structures, or integrated furnishings. Any request for such work must be agreed in advance and may be subject to additional charges and separate terms.
9. Waste Regulations and Environmental Compliance
The Company will handle, transport, and dispose of waste in accordance with applicable waste management laws and regulations in the United Kingdom. This includes compliance with duties relating to controlled waste, transfer documentation, and the use of appropriately licensed disposal or recovery facilities.
The Customer acknowledges their own responsibilities under relevant regulations, including the duty of care in relation to waste. By using the Company’s services, the Customer confirms that they will not knowingly request disposal of waste in a manner that would breach these regulations.
The Company may issue waste transfer notes or other documentation as required by law. The Customer must provide any information reasonably required to complete these documents accurately, including descriptions of waste and any special handling requirements.
10. Liability and Limitations
The Company will be liable for direct loss or damage to property caused by its negligence or breach of contract, subject to the limitations set out in this section. The Company will not be liable for loss or damage arising from inaccurate or incomplete information supplied by the Customer, unsafe access conditions, concealed defects in the property, or items left in drawers, cupboards, or containers that the Customer has asked to be removed as waste.
The Company’s total liability for any single event or series of connected events, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the total price paid or payable for the specific Service giving rise to the claim, unless otherwise required by mandatory law.
The Company is not liable for any indirect, consequential, or economic loss, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of business, loss of opportunity, or loss of goodwill.
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes or limits the Company’s liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
11. Insurance
The Company will maintain appropriate insurance cover in respect of its legal liabilities for personal injury and damage to third-party property arising from the performance of its Services, in line with industry norms and legal requirements.
The Customer is responsible for arranging any additional insurance they consider necessary for high-value items, fixtures, or contents in proximity to the work area.
12. Complaints and Dispute Resolution
If the Customer has any concerns about the Services provided, they should contact the Company as soon as possible, giving full details of the issue. The Company will investigate and respond within a reasonable timeframe, aiming to resolve the matter fairly and efficiently.
Where a complaint relates to damage or loss, the Customer must notify the Company promptly and, where practicable, within 48 hours of completion of the Services, providing photographs and other supporting information where available.
If a dispute cannot be resolved through direct communication, both parties agree to consider informal negotiation or alternative dispute resolution before commencing court proceedings, where this is practical and appropriate.
13. Data Protection and Privacy
The Company will collect and process personal information provided by the Customer strictly for the purposes of managing bookings, providing Services, handling payments, and complying with legal obligations.
The Company will take reasonable steps to protect personal data against unauthorised access, misuse, or loss and will only share such data with third parties where necessary to provide the Services, process payments, or meet regulatory requirements.
14. Changes to These Terms
The Company may update or amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in law, industry practice, or the nature of its Services. The revised Terms will apply to any new bookings made after the date on which the updated version is published or notified to the Customer.
Where a material change would significantly affect an existing booking, the Company will notify the Customer and, if the Customer does not agree to the change, will allow cancellation of the affected booking without penalty.
15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the Services provided, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute or claim arising from or relating to these Terms and Conditions or the provision of the Services, without prejudice to any mandatory rights the Customer may have under applicable law.
16. General Provisions
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed deleted, and the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect.
Any failure or delay by the Company to exercise any right or remedy under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy.
These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the Company and the Customer in relation to the Services and supersede any previous agreements, understandings, or arrangements, whether written or oral, relating to the same subject matter.
