These Terms and Conditions govern the provision of rubbish collection and related waste removal services by Rubbish Collection Brixton to residential and commercial customers. By making a booking, confirming a quotation, or allowing our operatives to commence work at your premises, 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, company, or organisation requesting the Services.

Services means rubbish collection, waste removal, bulky waste clearance, or any related services provided by Rubbish Collection Brixton.

Waste means any items, materials, or refuse presented for removal as part of the Services, excluding any items prohibited under these Terms or under applicable legislation.

Agreement means the contract between Rubbish Collection Brixton and the Customer incorporating these Terms and Conditions.

2. Scope of Services

Rubbish Collection Brixton provides waste collection and clearance services for household, commercial, and light construction waste, subject to compliance with applicable waste and environmental regulations. The precise scope of the Services will be as described in the quotation or booking confirmation provided to the Customer.

The Services may include loading, transporting, and disposing of Waste at an authorised facility. The Customer acknowledges that Rubbish Collection Brixton is not obliged to remove items that are hazardous, illegal, excessively heavy, or otherwise beyond the agreed scope.

Any times or dates for the performance of the Services are estimates only and are not guaranteed. While we will make reasonable efforts to attend within booked time slots, delays may occur due to traffic, weather, or operational issues.

3. Booking Process

The Customer may request Services by telephone, email, or via an online enquiry. A booking is not confirmed until Rubbish Collection Brixton has accepted the Customer’s request and provided a confirmation, which may be written or verbal.

At the time of booking, the Customer will be asked to provide accurate information about the type, quantity, and approximate weight or volume of Waste; the property access conditions; parking availability; and any other relevant details. The quotation and scheduling of the job will be based on this information.

If upon arrival the actual Waste or access conditions differ significantly from those described at the time of booking, Rubbish Collection Brixton reserves the right to adjust the price, modify the scope of the Services, or decline to carry out the work.

The Customer is responsible for ensuring that access to the premises is available during the agreed time slot and that any necessary entry codes, permits, or instructions have been provided in advance.

4. Quotations and Pricing

All quotations are based on the information supplied by the Customer and are generally calculated according to the type and estimated volume or weight of Waste, the labour required, and any additional services requested. All prices will be communicated to the Customer before work is undertaken.

Rubbish Collection Brixton reserves the right to revise any quotation if the description of the Waste or the circumstances differ from what was specified during the booking. Where possible, any variation in price will be agreed with the Customer before the Services are commenced or continued.

Unless otherwise stated, prices are exclusive of any government taxes or charges which may be applicable. Any such charges will be disclosed to the Customer where relevant.

5. Payments and Invoicing

Payment is due on completion of the Services unless alternative arrangements have been agreed in advance. Rubbish Collection Brixton may require full or partial payment in advance for certain bookings, particularly for larger clearances or commercial projects.

Accepted payment methods will be communicated to the Customer at the time of booking and may include card payment, bank transfer, or another approved method. Cash payments may be accepted by prior agreement only. The Customer must ensure that payment can be made at the agreed time.

Where invoicing terms have been agreed, invoices must be paid within the period stated on the invoice. If no period is specified, payment is due within 14 days of the invoice date. Rubbish Collection Brixton reserves the right to charge interest and reasonable recovery costs on overdue sums in accordance with applicable legislation.

Failure to pay any amount due may result in suspension or cancellation of current and future Services, and may lead to recovery action for unpaid sums.

6. Cancellations and Amendments

The Customer may cancel or amend a booking by contacting Rubbish Collection Brixton directly. Any cancellation or amendment must be made within normal business hours and as early as possible.

If the Customer cancels a booking more than 24 hours before the scheduled arrival time, no cancellation fee will normally apply. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled arrival time may incur a cancellation charge to cover administrative and operational costs, especially where vehicles and staff have been allocated.

Where our team arrives at the premises at the agreed time and is unable to gain access, or the Customer is not present or otherwise unable to proceed with the booking, Rubbish Collection Brixton may treat the booking as cancelled by the Customer and may charge a call-out or cancellation fee.

Any request to reschedule an appointment is subject to availability. Rubbish Collection Brixton will make reasonable efforts to accommodate changes but cannot guarantee that a revised time or date will be available.

7. Customer Responsibilities

The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the Waste presented for collection is lawful, safe, and suitable for removal. The Customer must not include any items that are classified as hazardous or controlled waste unless such items have been expressly agreed in writing and appropriate arrangements and charges have been confirmed.

The Customer must provide safe and reasonable access to the Waste and must ensure that the collection area is free from health and safety hazards. This includes clearly indicating any potential risks on the premises, such as unstable structures, sharp objects, or contaminated materials.

The Customer warrants that they either own the Waste or have the authority of the owner to dispose of it. The Customer shall indemnify Rubbish Collection Brixton against any claims or costs arising from the removal of items where the Customer did not have such authority.

8. Waste Regulations and Prohibited Items

Rubbish Collection Brixton operates in accordance with applicable UK waste management and environmental regulations. All Waste collected will be taken to appropriately licensed or authorised facilities for recycling, recovery, or disposal as required by law.

The Customer must not present for collection any of the following types of waste, except where explicitly agreed: hazardous chemicals, oils, asbestos, clinical or medical waste, gas bottles, explosives, pressurised containers, radioactive materials, or any substance classified as hazardous under applicable legislation.

If prohibited items are discovered during loading, Rubbish Collection Brixton may refuse to remove them and may adjust the price or decline to continue the Service. If prohibited items are discovered after the Service has been provided, the Customer may be liable for any additional costs, fines, or penalties arising from their inclusion.

The Customer acknowledges that certain appliances, electrical items, and specialist materials may attract additional charges due to specific recycling or disposal requirements. Any such charges will be explained to the Customer in advance where reasonably practicable.

9. Liability and Limitations

Rubbish Collection Brixton will exercise reasonable care and skill in performing the Services. However, the Company shall not be liable for any indirect, special, or consequential loss, loss of profits, or loss of business arising out of or in connection with the Services or these Terms.

Rubbish Collection Brixton shall not be liable for minor or cosmetic damage to driveways, paths, or other access routes where such damage is reasonably unavoidable in the normal course of providing the Services, particularly where the Customer has requested that vehicles or equipment operate within confined or delicate areas.

The Customer must notify Rubbish Collection Brixton in writing of any alleged loss or damage arising from the Services within 48 hours of completion. Failure to do so may affect the ability to investigate the matter and limit any possible remedy.

Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

Subject to the preceding paragraph, the total aggregate liability of Rubbish Collection Brixton to the Customer in respect of any claim arising out of the Agreement shall not exceed the total amount paid or payable by the Customer for the specific Service giving rise to the claim.

10. Insurance

Rubbish Collection Brixton maintains appropriate insurance cover in respect of its business activities, including public liability insurance. Details of such insurance may be provided to the Customer upon reasonable request.

11. Delay and Force Majeure

Rubbish Collection Brixton shall not be responsible for any failure or delay in performing its obligations where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond its reasonable control. Such circumstances may include adverse weather, traffic incidents, breakdowns, strikes, civil unrest, or legal restrictions.

In the event of a delay, the Customer will be informed as soon as reasonably practicable and an alternative time or date for the Services may be offered. Where performance becomes impossible or impractical due to events beyond our control, we may cancel the Service and shall refund any prepayments for Services not provided.

12. Complaints and Disputes

Any concerns or complaints regarding the Services should be raised with Rubbish Collection Brixton as soon as possible so that we have an opportunity to investigate and resolve the matter. Complaints should include details of the date of service, the address, and a clear description of the issue.

We will endeavour to acknowledge and review complaints promptly and to reach a fair resolution. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, either party may pursue their rights through the appropriate legal channels.

13. Data Protection and Privacy

Rubbish Collection Brixton collects and uses personal information necessary to manage bookings, perform the Services, process payments, and communicate with Customers. We take reasonable measures to protect personal data and handle it in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

By engaging our Services, the Customer consents to the use of their contact details for the purposes of administering the Agreement and, where permitted, for providing information about related services that may be of interest. Customers may request access to, or correction of, their personal information, or ask not to receive marketing communications.

14. Termination

Either party may terminate the Agreement with immediate effect if the other party commits a material breach of these Terms and, where capable of remedy, fails to remedy the breach within a reasonable period after receiving notice.

Rubbish Collection Brixton may terminate or suspend the provision of Services if the Customer fails to pay sums due, provides misleading information, or behaves in a threatening or abusive manner towards staff.

Termination shall not affect any rights or obligations that have already accrued at the date of termination, including the right to recover any amounts owed.

15. Changes to Terms and Conditions

Rubbish Collection Brixton may update or amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in the law, operational practices, or business requirements. The latest version will apply to any new booking made after the revised Terms have been issued.

Where a booking has already been confirmed, the Terms in force at the time of the booking will continue to apply to that particular Service unless a variation is agreed in writing.

16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, the Services, or their subject matter 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 or the Services.

17. General Provisions

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court or other competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed deleted and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

No failure or delay by Rubbish Collection Brixton in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of that right or remedy, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy prevent any other or further exercise.

The Agreement is between Rubbish Collection Brixton and the Customer. No person other than a party to the Agreement shall have any rights to enforce any term of it.

These Terms and Conditions, together with any written quotation or booking confirmation, constitute the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the Services and supersede all previous understandings, representations, or agreements, whether written or oral.
