Terms and Conditions for Waste Disposal Kensington
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Waste Disposal Kensington provides waste collection and related services to residential and commercial customers. By placing a booking, confirming a quotation, or allowing our operatives to commence work, 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, organisation or authorised representative requesting or receiving services from Waste Disposal Kensington.
Company, we, us, our means Waste Disposal Kensington as the provider of the waste collection and related services.
Services means any waste collection, removal, clearance, loading, transportation, disposal, recycling, or related services carried out by the Company.
Waste means any materials, items, rubbish, refuse, junk, debris, furniture, appliances, green waste, construction waste, or other discarded matter that the Customer asks the Company to remove, subject always to applicable laws and these Terms and Conditions.
Service Area means the areas in which the Company provides its waste collection and disposal services, which may be updated or extended from time to time.
2. Scope of Services
The Company provides scheduled and one-off waste collection, household and commercial rubbish removal, and related services within its Service Area. The exact nature of the Services to be provided will be set out in the quotation, booking confirmation, or written communication between the Company and the Customer.
The Company reserves the right to refuse to collect or handle any Waste that it reasonably believes to be hazardous, prohibited, incorrectly described, improperly packaged, or unsafe for handling, transport, or disposal under applicable regulations.
3. Booking Process
3.1 Booking requests
The Customer may request a booking by telephone, email, online form, or any other method accepted by the Company. The Customer must provide accurate and complete information about the type and approximate quantity of Waste, access to the property, location within the Service Area, and any special circumstances that may affect the provision of the Services.
3.2 Quotations and estimates
Any quotation or estimate provided by the Company is based on the information supplied by the Customer. Quotations are typically given for guidance and are not binding if the actual Waste, access conditions, or required work differ from the information originally supplied. The Company reserves the right to adjust the price on arrival if the volume, weight, type of Waste, or work required is different from what was described.
3.3 Confirmation of booking
A booking will be deemed confirmed when the Company has accepted the Customer’s request and issued a confirmation by email, message, or other written communication, or when the Customer has expressly accepted a quotation and a date and time window have been agreed. The Company will make reasonable efforts to attend within the agreed time window, but time is not of the essence and delays may occur due to traffic, weather, or operational reasons.
4. Access and Customer Obligations
The Customer must ensure that the Company’s operatives have safe, reasonable, and unobstructed access to the collection point at the agreed time. The Customer must ensure that any parking permissions, permits, or visitor access requirements are arranged in advance. If parking charges apply, these may be added to the final invoice.
The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the Waste to be collected is clearly identified and separated where necessary. The Customer must not include any hazardous materials, sharp objects, or prohibited items within general mixed waste, unless previously agreed in writing and in compliance with applicable regulations.
If the Company is unable to carry out the Services due to lack of access, safety concerns, or inaccurate information provided by the Customer, the Company reserves the right to charge a call-out fee or a reasonable proportion of the agreed price to cover costs incurred.
5. Waste Types and Regulations
The Company operates in accordance with applicable UK waste management legislation and duty of care requirements. The Customer must accurately describe the Waste and declare any items that may be restricted or require special handling, such as electrical equipment, batteries, chemicals, paints, oils, asbestos, medical waste, gas cylinders, tyres, or other regulated materials.
The Company may require photographs or additional information about specific Waste before confirming whether it can be collected. If the Company discovers on arrival that the Waste includes prohibited or undeclared hazardous items, the Company may refuse to remove such items and may charge for attendance or any remedial measures required.
Where legally required, the Company will arrange for appropriate documentation such as waste transfer notes or, where relevant, consignment notes. The Customer agrees to provide any information reasonably requested for these documents and to retain copies where their own compliance obligations require it.
6. Pricing and Payments
6.1 Pricing structure
Prices are generally based on factors including, but not limited to, the volume and weight of Waste, the nature of the materials, labour time, loading conditions, access to the property, and any disposal or recycling charges. The Company will indicate the basis of charging in the quotation or at the time of booking.
6.2 Payment terms
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due in full on completion of the Services. The Company may accept payment by cash, card, bank transfer, or other methods communicated to the Customer in advance. For business and account Customers, alternative payment terms may be agreed in writing.
The Company reserves the right to request a deposit or full advance payment prior to attending the site, particularly for larger clearances, commercial work, or bookings outside normal service patterns.
6.3 Late or non-payment
Where payment terms are not met, the Company may charge interest on overdue sums at the statutory rate allowable under applicable UK law, calculated on a daily basis until payment is received in full. The Company may also recover any reasonable costs incurred in seeking to collect overdue amounts, including administrative costs and legal fees.
7. Cancellations and Amendments
7.1 Customer cancellations
The Customer may cancel or amend a booking by contacting the Company as soon as reasonably practicable. Cancellations received more than 24 hours before the scheduled attendance time will generally not incur a cancellation fee, unless expressly stated otherwise in a specific quotation or agreement.
Where a booking is cancelled less than 24 hours before the scheduled attendance time, the Company may charge a reasonable cancellation fee to cover costs already incurred, including any third-party disposal or labour commitments.
7.2 Company cancellations
The Company reserves the right to cancel or reschedule a booking if it becomes unable to carry out the Services due to events beyond its reasonable control, such as extreme weather, vehicle breakdown, staff illness, accidents, or changes in legal or regulatory requirements. In such circumstances, the Company will notify the Customer as soon as reasonably possible and offer an alternative time or a refund of any amounts paid in advance for the affected Services.
8. Changes on Site
If on arrival the quantity or type of Waste, the access conditions, or the work required differ from what was discussed at the time of booking, the Company may revise the quotation or refuse to proceed if it is unsafe, unlawful, or materially different from what was agreed.
Any additional services requested by the Customer on site, such as extra rooms to be cleared, further bulky items, or additional vehicle loads, will be charged in accordance with the Company’s prevailing rates or as otherwise agreed with the Customer before proceeding.
9. Customer Property and Site Condition
The Customer should remove or clearly identify any items that are not to be taken as Waste. The Company will not be responsible for the removal of items that were not clearly separated from the Waste or that a reasonable person would assume were intended for disposal.
The Company will take reasonable care when working on the Customer’s premises but cannot accept liability for pre-existing damage, structural weaknesses, or defects at the property. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that floors, walls, paths, driveways, and any delicate surfaces are adequately protected if they may be affected by the movement of Waste or equipment.
10. Liability
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions limits or excludes the Company’s liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other matter for which liability cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.
Subject to the above, the Company will not be liable for any indirect, consequential, or economic loss, including but not limited to loss of profit, loss of business, or loss of opportunity, arising out of or in connection with the provision of the Services.
The Company’s total aggregate liability to the Customer arising out of or in connection with any single incident or series of connected incidents shall not exceed the total amount paid or payable by the Customer for the specific Services giving rise to the claim, unless otherwise required by law.
11. Insurance
The Company maintains appropriate public liability and, where applicable, employer’s liability insurance in connection with the provision of its Services. Evidence of cover can be provided upon reasonable request.
12. Customer Warranties and Indemnity
The Customer warrants that they have full authority to request the removal and disposal of the Waste at the relevant premises and that no third party’s rights will be infringed by the performance of the Services.
The Customer agrees to indemnify the Company against any claims, costs, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising out of any breach of these warranties, including any claims by third parties relating to ownership of items removed or any incorrect or misleading description of the Waste.
13. Data Protection and Privacy
The Company may collect and process personal data about Customers in connection with bookings, invoicing, and service delivery. Such data may include contact details, service addresses, and records of communications. The Company will handle personal data in accordance with applicable UK data protection law and will take reasonable steps to keep such data secure.
Personal data will only be used for legitimate business purposes, including the provision of Services, administration, record-keeping, and compliance with legal obligations. The Customer may contact the Company to request access to, or correction of, their personal data where appropriate.
14. Complaints
If the Customer is dissatisfied with any aspect of the Services, they should inform the Company as soon as possible, providing details of the issue and any supporting information. The Company will investigate the complaint and seek to resolve it in a fair and timely manner. Where appropriate, the Company may offer to revisit the site, rectify any shortfalls within reasonable limits, or provide a partial refund or adjustment.
15. Force Majeure
The Company will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations where such delay or failure is caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, extreme weather, fire, flood, industrial disputes, civil unrest, war, terrorism, power failures, or changes in law or regulation that affect the ability to provide the Services.
16. Variation of Terms
The Company may update or amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The version in force at the time of the Customer’s booking or acceptance of a quotation will generally apply to that specific engagement. The latest version of the Terms and Conditions will be made available upon request.
17. Severability
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 deleted to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, or with the provision of the Services, whether contractual or non-contractual, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
The parties agree that 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.
By booking or using the Services of Waste Disposal Kensington, the Customer acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
