In these Terms and Conditions, unless the context requires otherwise, the following expressions have the following meanings:

Customer means any individual, business, organisation, landlord, agent, or other party who requests or receives services from Waste Disposal Holland Park.

Services means any waste collection, rubbish removal, recycling, clearance, bulky waste uplift, or associated service provided by Waste Disposal Holland Park.

2. Scope of Services

Waste Disposal Holland Park provides waste collection and disposal services, including but not limited to household waste removal, commercial waste collection, bulky item clearance, and recycling collections within our standard service area that includes Holland Park and surrounding districts.

The precise scope of the Services to be provided in each case will be set out at the point of booking, including the type and approximate volume of Waste, the collection address, the scheduled date and time window, and any special access requirements.

We reserve the right to decline any booking request at our discretion, including where the Waste is unsuitable, hazardous, or outside our licence and regulatory permissions.

3. Booking Process

3.1 Bookings may be made by telephone, email, online booking form, or any other booking method we make available from time to time.

3.2 When making a booking, the Customer must provide accurate information, including:

a. Full name and contact details.

b. Collection address and any access instructions.

c. Description of the Waste, including type, approximate quantity, and any known hazards.

d. Preferred date and time window for collection.

3.3 All bookings are subject to availability and are only confirmed when we issue a booking confirmation by email, text message, or other written communication. Any provisional time given before confirmation is indicative only and does not constitute a binding agreement.

3.4 The Customer is responsible for ensuring that any person making a booking on their behalf is authorised to do so. Where a booking is made by a managing agent, tenant, or employee, the principal party shall remain responsible for all charges.

4. Access and Customer Obligations

4.2 If parking permits, visitor passes, or loading bays are required, the Customer must arrange these in advance unless specifically agreed otherwise. Any parking charges, penalty charge notices, or additional costs incurred due to lack of appropriate parking or access may be added to the Customer’s invoice.

4.3 The Customer must ensure that the Waste to be collected is clearly identified and separated where necessary. We accept no liability for removing items that were not intended for disposal where those items were placed or stored with the Waste.

4.4 The Customer warrants that they are either the owner of the Waste or have full authority from the owner to arrange for its removal and disposal.

5. Waste Types and Regulatory Compliance

5.1 Waste Disposal Holland Park operates in accordance with applicable UK waste management legislation and regulations, including duty of care obligations relating to the collection, transport, and disposal of controlled waste.

5.3 If prohibited or hazardous items are discovered within the Waste at the time of collection, we may refuse to remove such items or may suspend the entire collection. The Customer may be charged for any time lost, additional handling, or specialist services required.

5.4 Where required, Waste transfer notes or equivalent documentation will be issued to confirm legal transfer of waste and the type and quantity of Waste collected. The Customer agrees to retain any documentation provided for their records in accordance with applicable regulations.

6. Pricing and Payment Terms

6.1 Prices for our Services may be quoted by reference to estimated volume, weight, type of Waste, access conditions, and any additional labour required.

6.2 Unless otherwise stated, quoted prices are exclusive of VAT, which will be added at the prevailing rate where applicable.

6.3 We reserve the right to adjust the price at the time of collection if the Waste volume, type, or access conditions differ materially from the description provided at booking. Any revised price will be discussed with the Customer before proceeding. If the Customer does not accept the revised price, we may cancel the collection and charge a reasonable call-out or cancellation fee.

6.4 Payment terms are as follows unless otherwise agreed in writing:

a. Domestic customers: payment is typically due on completion of the collection, by cash, card, or other approved method.

b. Business customers: payment may be subject to an agreed account or invoice arrangement, with payment due within the stated invoice terms.

6.5 If payment is not made when due, we may charge interest on overdue amounts at the statutory rate applicable to commercial debts, as well as reasonable costs incurred in recovering outstanding sums.

7. Cancellations and Amendments

7.1 The Customer may cancel or amend a booking by giving us reasonable notice prior to the scheduled collection time.

7.2 If a booking is cancelled by the Customer less than 24 hours before the scheduled collection window, we reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee to cover administration, travel planning, and lost capacity.

7.3 If we attend the Premises at the agreed time and are unable to complete the collection due to:

a. The Customer not being present where required.

b. Inadequate access or parking.

c. Inaccurate or incomplete information provided at booking.

d. The Customer refusing to accept a revised price due to undisclosed Waste or conditions.

we may treat this as a late cancellation and charge a call-out or wasted journey fee.

In such cases, we will use reasonable efforts to notify the Customer and arrange an alternative time. We shall not be liable for any indirect loss arising from such cancellation or rescheduling.

8.1 We will use reasonable skill and care in the performance of the Services and will seek to arrive within the agreed time window. However, all times are estimates and subject to traffic, operational, and safety considerations.

8.2 If we anticipate a delay, we will endeavour to contact the Customer using the details provided at booking. The Customer must ensure that we hold up-to-date contact information for this purpose.

8.3 Minor delays or variations in the arrival time shall not entitle the Customer to cancel the Service without charge unless otherwise agreed or where such right is mandated by law.

9. Customer Property and Site Condition
