Waste Disposal Docklands Terms of Service
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Waste Disposal Docklands provides waste collection and related services to domestic and commercial customers in the United Kingdom. By placing a booking or using our waste disposal services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully before making a booking.
1. Definitions
In these Terms and Conditions, the following expressions have the meanings set out below:
Customer means any individual, business, organisation or other entity that books or uses our waste disposal or waste collection services.
Company, we, us or our means Waste Disposal Docklands, the service provider operating waste collection, removal and disposal services.
Services means any waste collection, disposal, recycling, clearance or related services we provide, whether as a one-off collection or on a recurring basis.
Waste means any items, materials, rubbish, refuse or other matter presented by the Customer for collection and disposal, excluding prohibited or hazardous items where these fall outside the scope of the agreed service.
2. Scope of Services
The Company provides waste collection and disposal services to households, landlords, letting agents, facilities managers and businesses. Our standard service includes the collection of general non-hazardous waste, bulky items and recyclable materials from the agreed collection point, and the transport and disposal of that waste at authorised facilities in accordance with applicable waste regulations.
The precise scope of the Services, including the type and volume of waste to be collected, collection date and time window, access requirements and any additional services such as loading assistance or wait-and-load services, will be confirmed at the time of booking.
The Company reserves the right to decline any booking or to refuse to collect any waste that is not as described at the time of booking, that is unsafe to handle, or that is prohibited under relevant legislation or our waste carrier licences.
3. Booking Process
Customers may request a booking by telephone, email or via any online booking system we may operate. All bookings are subject to acceptance by the Company. A booking will be treated as confirmed only when we have provided written or electronic confirmation, which will usually include a description of the Services, the provisional collection date or time window, and the applicable charges.
When making a booking, the Customer must provide accurate information about:
1. The type and estimated quantity or volume of waste.
2. The location and access arrangements for the collection address.
3. Any time restrictions, parking constraints or other site-specific information that may affect the collection.
4. Any items that may be hazardous, restricted or require special handling.
The Company will rely on the information provided by the Customer when quoting prices and scheduling collections. If on arrival the actual waste, access or site conditions differ materially from those described, we may adjust the price, amend the service, or decline to proceed with the collection.
4. Service Area and Access
We primarily provide waste disposal and waste collection services in Docklands and surrounding areas, as well as other parts of the UK as notified by us from time to time. Acceptance of a booking is not a guarantee that we will be able to attend at any particular time or date, but we will make reasonable efforts to meet the agreed collection window.
The Customer is responsible for ensuring that our vehicles have safe and legal access to the collection point, including adequate parking and, where necessary, any permits or permissions. Any parking charges, fines or penalties incurred as a result of insufficient access or incorrect information provided by the Customer may be charged to the Customer.
The Customer must ensure that the waste is presented in a manner that allows safe and efficient collection, including compliance with any instructions we provide regarding bagging, containment, segregation of recyclables and maximum weight limits.
5. Prices and Payment
Prices for our waste disposal services will usually be quoted based on the nature and estimated volume or weight of the waste, the location, and any additional services requested. All prices are exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise, and VAT will be added at the applicable rate.
We reserve the right to revise quoted prices where the actual waste volume, weight or type differs from the information supplied at the time of booking, or where unforeseen access difficulties or delays arise that are beyond our reasonable control.
Payment terms will be confirmed at the time of booking and may include payment in advance, payment on collection, or agreed account terms for approved commercial Customers. We accept common payment methods such as debit card, credit card or bank transfer, as notified by us.
Where payment is due in advance, bookings are not confirmed until full payment has been received and cleared. For account Customers, invoices are payable within the agreed credit period. The Company reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at the statutory rate and to suspend or cancel Services where payment is outstanding.
6. Cancellations and Changes
The Customer may cancel or reschedule a booking by contacting us using the details provided in their booking confirmation. To avoid cancellation charges, we generally require a minimum notice period prior to the scheduled collection time. The applicable notice period and any cancellation charges will be communicated at the time of booking and may vary depending on the nature of the Services.
If the Customer cancels a booking within the specified notice period, any pre-paid amounts may be refunded or credited, less any non-refundable costs incurred by the Company. Where insufficient notice is given, or where our crew has already been dispatched, we may charge a cancellation fee or a call-out fee to cover time and transport costs.
The Company may cancel or amend a booking where necessary due to operational reasons, severe weather, vehicle breakdown, staff shortages, safety concerns or other events beyond our reasonable control. In such cases we will endeavour to notify the Customer as soon as reasonably practicable and will offer a rescheduled appointment or, where appropriate, a refund of any pre-paid charges related to the affected service.
7. Customer Obligations
The Customer is responsible for ensuring that all waste presented for collection is accurately described and is lawful for the Company to handle, transport and dispose of. The Customer warrants that they have full authority to arrange removal and disposal of the waste from the premises.
Customers must not present for collection any waste that is prohibited, hazardous or subject to special controls unless expressly agreed in writing with the Company before the booking is confirmed. Prohibited or controlled items may include, but are not limited to, asbestos, clinical or medical waste, chemicals, solvents, oils, fuel, gas cylinders, explosives, radioactive materials, certain electrical items, fridges containing refrigerants, and any other waste classified as hazardous under applicable legislation.
If prohibited or hazardous materials are discovered within the waste after collection, the Customer may be liable for any additional costs, fines, penalties or losses incurred by the Company as a result, including the costs of safe handling, treatment or disposal and any regulatory action.
8. Waste Handling and Regulations
The Company holds or operates under appropriate registrations, licences or exemptions to carry and dispose of waste in the UK. We will handle, transport and dispose of collected waste in accordance with applicable environmental, waste management and duty of care regulations.
Where applicable, we may provide waste transfer notes or other documentation to demonstrate lawful transfer and disposal. The Customer agrees to retain any such documentation for the period required by law.
We may segregate recyclable materials during collection or at a licensed facility and will seek to divert waste from landfill where reasonably practicable. The specific recycling or disposal route may depend on the type of waste, local facilities and applicable regulations, and may change from time to time.
9. Loading, Property and Site Conditions
Unless agreed otherwise, our standard service includes reasonable loading of waste from the agreed collection point. Additional charges may apply where loading is significantly more time-consuming than anticipated, such as where waste is scattered, not bagged as agreed, located above ground floor without lift access, or requires dismantling.
The Customer must ensure that the collection site is reasonably clear, safe and accessible for our staff. The Customer is responsible for securing or removing any items that are not to be taken away. The Company accepts no liability for removing items that a reasonable person would assume form part of the waste presented for collection.
The Customer should notify our staff before loading begins if particular items are to be left behind. Once the waste has been loaded and removed, it may not be possible to retrieve individual items.
10. Liability and Limitations
The Company will exercise reasonable care and skill in the provision of its waste collection and disposal services. However, except as expressly required by law, we exclude all warranties, conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall not be liable to the Customer for any indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or in connection with the provision of the Services or these Terms and Conditions.
Our total aggregate liability to the Customer in respect of all losses arising from any single event or series of connected events shall not exceed the total fees paid or payable by the Customer for the specific Service from which the claim arises, except in cases of death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.
The Customer is responsible for any damage caused to our vehicles, equipment or staff by reason of the condition of the premises, unsafe access, or the nature of the waste, except where such damage arises from our own negligence.
11. Delays and Force Majeure
The Company shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations where such failure or delay results from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, severe weather, fire, flood, strike, industrial dispute, war, terrorism, road closures or severe traffic disruption, breakdown of machinery, or any action by governmental or regulatory bodies.
In such circumstances, we will use reasonable endeavours to resume the Services as soon as practicable. If a delay is substantial, the Customer may be offered an alternative date, or where appropriate, a refund of any pre-paid charges for Services that could not be performed.
12. Complaints and Disputes
If the Customer is dissatisfied with any aspect of our waste disposal services, they should contact us as soon as possible, providing details of the issue and any relevant evidence. We will investigate complaints in a fair and timely manner and may request further information to assist with our assessment.
Where we find that we have not met the standards reasonably expected of a professional waste collection service, we may, at our discretion, offer a remedy which may include re-performing the Service, providing a partial refund, or another appropriate resolution, subject to the limitations of liability set out in these Terms and Conditions.
13. Data Protection and Confidentiality
The Company may collect and process personal data about Customers for the purposes of managing bookings, providing Services, processing payments, and complying with legal obligations. We will handle such data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and our internal policies.
We will take reasonable steps to keep Customer information secure and will not disclose personal data to third parties except where necessary for the provision of the Services, for credit control, or where required by law or regulatory authorities.
14. Amendments to Terms
The Company may update or amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in our services, business practices, or legal and regulatory requirements. The current version will apply to all bookings and Services taking place after the updated Terms and Conditions come into effect.
Where changes are material and may affect existing Customers, we will take reasonable steps to notify those Customers, for example by email or by including a notice with invoices or booking confirmations.
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 by Waste Disposal Docklands, 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 to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions or their subject matter, save that the Company may also pursue proceedings in any other jurisdiction where the Customer is domiciled or where assets may be located, where permitted by applicable law.
16. General Provisions
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable by a court or competent authority, such provision shall be severed from the remaining provisions, which shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
No failure or delay by the Company in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms and Conditions shall operate as a waiver of that right or remedy, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right or remedy prevent any further exercise of it.
The Customer may not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under these Terms and Conditions without our prior written consent. The Company may assign or subcontract its rights and obligations in connection with the provision of waste disposal and waste collection services, provided that this does not materially adversely affect the level of service provided to the Customer.
These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the Customer and the Company in relation to the provision of the Services and supersede any previous agreements, understandings or arrangements, whether written or oral.
