2. Scope of Services
Rubbish Removal Knightsbridge provides rubbish removal and waste collection services within its operational service areas. Services may include household rubbish clearances, office and commercial clearances, garden waste removal, bulky item collection and related work, as agreed at the time of booking.
The exact scope of Services for each job will be confirmed with the Customer prior to commencement and may be based on a description, photographs, or an on-site assessment. The Customer acknowledges that the final price may depend on the actual volume, weight and nature of the waste presented on the day of collection.
Rubbish Removal Knightsbridge reserves the right to refuse to collect any waste that is hazardous, prohibited by law, not as described at the time of booking, or which cannot be safely handled by the Operatives.
3. Booking Process
Bookings for rubbish removal and waste collection services can be made by telephone, email or other communication channels offered from time to time. When making a booking, the Customer must provide accurate and complete information, including:
1. The collection address and access details.
2. The approximate volume and type of waste to be removed.
3. Any special access requirements, such as parking restrictions, stairs or limited entry.
4. Any known hazardous or unusual items.
Rubbish Removal Knightsbridge may provide an estimated quotation based on the information supplied. This estimate is not binding and may be adjusted after inspection of the waste on arrival. Where possible, the Operatives will confirm the final charge before commencing work.
A booking is only confirmed when Rubbish Removal Knightsbridge accepts the Customer’s request and provides a booking confirmation. Rubbish Removal Knightsbridge reserves the right to decline any booking request at its sole discretion.
4. Access and Customer Obligations
The Customer must ensure that the Operatives have safe, reasonable and lawful access to the premises and to the waste to be collected at the agreed date and time. This includes arranging necessary permissions for parking and entry to shared or managed properties where applicable.
The Customer shall:
1. Ensure that all waste to be collected is clearly identified, separated from items not to be removed, and is reasonably accessible.
2. Inform Rubbish Removal Knightsbridge of any circumstances that may affect the performance of the Services, including limited access, parking restrictions, or health and safety risks.
3. Be present at the premises during the collection window or authorise a representative to be present, unless otherwise agreed in advance.
Rubbish Removal Knightsbridge will not be liable for delays or inability to complete the work arising from inadequate access, incorrect information, or failure by the Customer to comply with these obligations. Additional charges may apply where extra time, labour, or revisits are required in such circumstances.
5. Pricing and Payments
Unless otherwise stated, all prices are quoted in pounds sterling and are exclusive of any applicable taxes or charges that may be applied in accordance with UK law.
Charges for rubbish removal and waste collection are typically based on volume, weight, labour and disposal costs. Where an estimated quotation has been provided prior to arrival, this may be revised once the Operatives have inspected the waste and assessed the actual work required. The Customer will be informed of any change in price before the Services are carried out.
Payment is due on completion of the Services, unless an alternative arrangement has been agreed in writing in advance. Accepted payment methods will be communicated to the Customer at the time of booking or on arrival. Rubbish Removal Knightsbridge reserves the right to require a deposit or full advance payment for certain jobs, including large commercial clearances or out-of-hours work.
Where payment terms are agreed on an account basis for business Customers, invoices shall be payable within the period stated on the invoice. Late payment may incur interest and administrative charges in accordance with applicable UK legislation.
6. Cancellations, Amendments and Missed Appointments
The Customer may cancel or amend a booking by giving reasonable notice prior to the scheduled arrival time. Rubbish Removal Knightsbridge requests that cancellations or changes are made as early as possible to minimise disruption to scheduling.
Rubbish Removal Knightsbridge reserves the right to charge a cancellation fee where:
1. The Customer cancels or materially alters the booking with insufficient notice.
2. The Operatives attend the premises at the agreed time but are unable to gain access or commence work due to circumstances within the Customer’s control.
3. The Customer fails to present the waste as agreed, resulting in the job not proceeding.
Rubbish Removal Knightsbridge may need to cancel or reschedule appointments due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including vehicle breakdowns, severe weather, staff illness, or legal restrictions. In such cases, Rubbish Removal Knightsbridge will inform the Customer as soon as reasonably practicable and offer a new appointment time. Liability for such changes is limited to re-arranging the Service or refunding any advance payment for Services not provided.
7. Waste Regulations and Prohibited Items
Rubbish Removal Knightsbridge operates in accordance with relevant UK waste legislation and environmental regulations. All waste collected will be transported and disposed of through authorised facilities and carriers, with the aim of promoting responsible reuse, recycling and lawful disposal.
The Customer must not present any waste that is hazardous or requires special handling unless expressly agreed in advance. Prohibited items may include, but are not limited to, asbestos, chemicals, solvents, medical waste, certain electrical items, gas cylinders, oils, fuels and pressurised containers. If any such items are discovered, Rubbish Removal Knightsbridge may refuse to remove them, or may apply additional charges where specialist handling is required and agreed by the Customer.
The Customer is responsible for ensuring that any waste handed over is their property or that they have the legal right to dispose of it. The Customer confirms that no collected items are subject to any third party claim or retention of title.
Once the waste has been collected and loaded onto the vehicle, ownership of the waste passes to Rubbish Removal Knightsbridge for the purposes of lawful transport and disposal. The Customer acknowledges that items removed cannot be reclaimed once the service is complete.
