We are not allowed to collect hazardous and toxic waste.
2) Payment
Payment must be made at the time of collection unless the work is being carried out on behalf of an account holder, or a prior agreement has been made.

Payments not made within 14 days of the collection date will incur a late payment fee of £45, and we reserve the right to charge interest on any unpaid balance at the rate of 1.95% per month. We do not assume ownership of any waste collected until payment for the collection has been made and a transfer note has been provided to the customer.
Credit or Debit card details must be provided for collections where the customer is not going to be present. We will call the customer by telephone and charge the agreed amount to the credit card upon commencement of the work.
We will require a 50% deposit on commencement of work for any collections that will require multiple truck loads.
3) Attendance Fee

This applies but is not limited to waste of a larger volume than described, waste that is heavier or denser than described, waste that cannot be removed within a reasonable time due to undisclosed access difficulties and items that cannot be safely handled by two people.
