1. These Terms and Conditions set out the whole agreement between you and us for the supply of our rubbish clearance.

2. Our quotation is based on volume and weight limits – whichever is reached first. Volume unit - cubic yard, weight unit - kg.

3. If we provide a quotation for clearance then a contract shall be created between us on your acceptance of our quote, whether by telephone, email or online. We reserve the right to vary our quoted price if at the time of the clearance the information you provided to us at the time of quotation was incomplete or inaccurate.

2. PROVISION OF SERVICES

1. Unless prevented by a Force Majeure Event, we will provide our service with reasonable care and skill.

2. We will endeavour to undertake the clearance on the date and at any time agreed but there may be delays due to circumstances beyond our control. In this case, we will inform you and, if necessary, arrange a revised date as soon as reasonably possible. Where we provide you with an estimated time of arrival this should not be construed as offering any form of guarantee as to the time upon which we will attend to perform the clearance.

3. You agree to provide our clearance crews with free and safe access to the premises from where the rubbish is to be removed. You shall notify us of any special circumstances which may be relevant to our quotation, including any access issues, if any items are large or heavy, if the clearance would necessitate working at height, if the rubbish is secured, if there is likely to be a dispute as to whether the rubbish can be cleared, or if we are unable to park free of charge. If you do not notify us of such special circumstances, or provide us with incomplete or inaccurate information or instructions, we may either make an additional charge to cover any extra work or costs that are required or, if we are unable to undertake the clearance, charge a Wasted Journey Fee in accordance with section 4, clause 2 below.

4. You confirm that you have the full authority for us to collect and dispose of the rubbish. You shall indemnify us from and against any cost or expense we suffer or incur from any third party as a result of you not having the authority for us to clear the rubbish.

5. Be present or represented throughout the collection of rubbish and take all reasonable steps to ensure that nothing that should be removed is left behind and nothing is taken away in error. In the event that we attend the premises in your absence you undertake to provide us with the reliable means to contact you and take payment prior to the collection proceeding. Failure to do so may result in the collection failing in which circumstances Rubbish Collectors Ltd is not to be held liable for any loss or damage howsoever incurred.

6. If we detect or suspect there may be any asbestos or other hazardous or dangerous substances or materials on site we may vacate the premises, and will not be responsible for further clearance and disposal. In such event, you shall still be fully liable to pay for our attendance and for any waste already removed. If we need to appoint an expert to remove such materials already loaded onto our vans, we reserve the right to charge you, if at the time of removal we were unaware of any asbestos or other hazardous or dangerous substances or materials contained in any items or materials removed.

7. Any sharp or dangerous objects like knives and broken glass should be separately stored in an appropriate container by you before we arrive for the clearance. Under no circumstances should sharp objects be stored in bags. This requirement is for the safety of our clearance crews.

2. You may not withhold any part of the agreed price.

3. In respect of all sums which are overdue to us, we will charge interest on a daily basis calculated at 4% per annum above the prevailing base rate for the time being of the Bank of England.

4. If the overdue amount remains unpaid we reserve the right to pass it to the debt collection agency to recover the amount owed. All additional debt recovery costs will be added to the amount owed for the settlement.

The refund will be processed to the original payment account within 48 hours of the request.

3. If we are unable to remove any items from the premises because, for example, they are too large to fit through the doorways, we may agree (at our discretion) to try and dismantle the item e.g. remove legs from tables, in order to try and get the item to fit through the doorway. If we are still unable to remove the item from the premises, we shall not be responsible for the reassembly of such an item.

4. Our basic rates include an amount of time (according to the size of the collection) for the collection crew to undertake your clearance once on site. This time allowance is referred to as a Labour Charge. Where a clearance takes longer then the Labour Charge, an additional charge for labour may be applied.

5. If the volume or weight of the goods exceed per provided quotation the extra volume / weight is chargeable at £ 35 per 1 ( one ) cubic yard up to 50( fifty ) kg in weight. The extra volume / weight can be collected at this rate subject to the space available on the waste removal vehicle.
