Service Terms and Conditions for Waste Disposal Croydon
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Waste Disposal Croydon provides waste collection and related services to residential and commercial customers. By booking any waste disposal, rubbish clearance, bin collection, bulky waste removal or associated service with us, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
1. Definitions
In these Terms and Conditions, the following expressions have the meanings set out below:
Customer means the individual, business or organisation that requests or pays for the services.
Company, we, us or our means Waste Disposal Croydon, the provider of waste collection and disposal services.
Services means any waste removal, waste collection, rubbish clearance, recycling, bin collection or similar service we provide, whether on a one-off or regular basis.
Waste means any items, materials, rubbish, refuse or goods that the Customer asks us to collect and remove.
2. Scope of Services
We provide waste disposal and collection services within Croydon and surrounding areas, including household waste removal, commercial waste collection, bulky item collection and recycling services where reasonably practicable.
The exact nature, timing and price of the Services will be confirmed at the time of booking or in subsequent written confirmation issued by us. Certain waste types, including hazardous, clinical and specialist waste, are subject to restrictions and may not be accepted unless we have explicitly agreed in advance and confirmed any applicable additional charges and conditions.
3. Booking Process
3.1 A booking for Services may be made by telephone, email or through our online booking system, where available. All bookings are subject to availability and our acceptance.
3.2 When you make a booking, you must provide accurate and complete information, including the service address, access instructions, type and approximate volume or weight of waste, and any special requirements. We rely on the information you provide when giving price estimates and planning the collection.
3.3 Any quotation given before we attend the property is an estimate only and may be revised if, in our reasonable opinion, the description, volume, weight or nature of the waste differs from that originally described, or if access conditions are more difficult than indicated.
3.4 A booking is only confirmed when we issue a confirmation by email or other written communication, or when we expressly confirm the booking by telephone and you agree to the date, time window and applicable charges.
4. Access and Customer Responsibilities
4.1 The Customer must ensure that our staff, vehicles and equipment have safe, convenient and lawful access to the collection point at the agreed time. This includes ensuring any necessary parking, loading or permit arrangements are in place.
4.2 Waste must be presented in a safe and manageable manner. Where possible, items should be bagged or securely contained. Bulky items should be dismantled where reasonably practicable, unless otherwise agreed.
4.3 The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the waste presented for collection is lawful and suitable for collection under these Terms and Conditions. Prohibited or restricted waste types must be disclosed in advance.
4.4 If we are unable to perform the Services because of inadequate access, unsafe conditions, incorrect information or the presence of prohibited waste, we may cancel or postpone the collection and may charge a call-out or wasted journey fee.
5. Waste Types and Prohibited Materials
5.1 We generally accept typical household and commercial waste, including general rubbish, furniture, appliances, garden waste and similar items. Some items may incur additional charges due to special handling or disposal requirements.
5.2 We do not normally accept hazardous, toxic, explosive or specialist waste, including but not limited to asbestos, clinical waste, chemicals, solvents, oils, gas cylinders, fuel, paint in liquid form, explosives and pressurised containers, unless previously agreed in writing and arranged through appropriate licensed channels.
5.3 Where you present such prohibited or restricted waste without prior disclosure, we may refuse to collect it, terminate the collection, or arrange separate handling at additional cost. You will be responsible for any fines, penalties, costs or liabilities arising from undisclosed or improperly presented hazardous or prohibited waste.
6. Pricing and Estimates
6.1 Our charges are based on a range of factors such as the volume of waste, its weight, the type of materials, the labour required, access conditions and any applicable disposal or recycling fees.
6.2 Any prices given in advance of collection are estimates only, based on the information you provide. The final price will be confirmed on site once our staff have inspected the waste and assessed the work required.
6.3 If the actual waste differs significantly from that described at the time of booking, or if the job requires substantially more labour or time due to access or other issues, we may revise the price. If you do not accept the revised price, we may cancel the job and reserve the right to charge a call-out fee.
7. Payment Terms
7.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due in full on completion of the Services. We may accept card payments, bank transfers or cash, subject to our current payment methods.
7.2 For business customers, we may at our discretion offer account facilities or payment terms. Where such terms are agreed, invoices must be paid in full by the due date specified. We may charge interest on overdue sums at the statutory rate together with any reasonable debt recovery costs.
7.3 We reserve the right to require a deposit or advance payment before attending the property, particularly for larger collections or repeat waste disposal services. Any deposit will be offset against the final invoice.
8. Cancellations and Amendments
8.1 You may cancel or amend your booking by giving us reasonable notice before the scheduled collection time.
8.2 If you cancel more than 24 hours before the agreed collection time, no cancellation fee will normally apply. If you cancel within 24 hours, we may charge a reasonable cancellation fee to cover our costs and lost time.
8.3 If our team attends the property at the agreed time and is unable to carry out the work due to your late cancellation, lack of access, or because you are not present where required, we may treat the booking as cancelled and charge a call-out or wasted journey fee.
8.4 We may cancel or reschedule a booking if we are unable to perform the Services due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including extreme weather, traffic incidents, vehicle breakdowns, staff illness or compliance with legal obligations. In such cases we will seek to rearrange the collection as soon as reasonably practicable.
9. Performance of Services
9.1 We will use reasonable care and skill in providing the Services and will aim to attend within any agreed time window, although time is not of the essence and delays may occur.
9.2 Our staff will load the waste into our vehicle and will take reasonable steps to minimise disruption at the property. However, the Customer should remove or protect vulnerable items and surfaces in areas where staff will be working.
9.3 Once the waste has been loaded onto our vehicle and we have left the site, ownership and responsibility for that waste passes to us and you will not be entitled to reclaim any items.
10. Recycling and Disposal Practices
10.1 We aim to divert waste from landfill where reasonably possible by prioritising reuse, recycling and responsible disposal routes. The precise method of disposal or recycling will be at our discretion, in compliance with applicable law and regulations.
10.2 We will only use licensed waste transfer stations and authorised facilities for the processing and disposal of waste, and we will maintain appropriate records as required by law.

11.1 We operate in accordance with relevant UK waste management legislation, including duties relating to the storage, transport and disposal of controlled waste.
11.2 Business customers may be required to keep their own records and documentation confirming how their waste is handled. Where applicable, we will provide standard documentation such as waste transfer notes to demonstrate compliance.
11.3 The Customer must not ask us to dispose of waste in an unlawful manner and must cooperate with any reasonable requests for information necessary to comply with waste regulations.
12. Limitation of Liability
12.1 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other matter where liability cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.
12.2 Subject to the paragraph above, our total liability to you for any loss or damage arising out of or in connection with the Services, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall not exceed the total amount paid or payable by you for the specific Services giving rise to the claim.
12.3 We shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss, loss of profits, loss of business, loss of opportunity or loss of goodwill arising out of or in connection with the Services.
12.4 You are responsible for securing or removing fragile, delicate or high-value items from areas where our staff will be working. We will not be liable for minor cosmetic damage to walls, floors or fixtures reasonably incidental to the removal of bulky items, provided our staff have exercised reasonable care and skill.
