b. Approximate volume or number of items.

c. Collection address and any access limitations, parking restrictions or time constraints.

d. Contact details for the Customer or on-site representative.

3.2 The Company will provide an indicative price based on the information supplied. This price may be subject to adjustment on arrival if the Waste volume, composition or access conditions differ materially from those described at the time of Booking.

3.3 A Booking is only confirmed when the Company has accepted it and, where required, the Customer has provided payment details or paid any applicable deposit. The Company reserves the right to refuse any Booking at its discretion.

3.4 The Customer must ensure that an authorised person is present at the collection address at the arranged time to grant access, confirm the Waste to be collected and approve any variation in price where necessary.

4. Service Attendance and Access

4.2 The Customer is responsible for ensuring safe and reasonable access to the Waste, including providing accurate directions, arranging parking permissions where needed, and ensuring that entrances, hallways, lifts and pathways are clear for the collection team.

4.3 If the Company is unable to carry out the Services due to inadequate access, incorrect address information, lack of parking or the absence of an authorised person to grant entry, the Company may, at its discretion, treat the Booking as cancelled by the Customer and may apply a call-out or cancellation charge.
