The precise scope of the Services, including the estimated volume or weight of waste, the collection date and time window, and any additional requirements, will be confirmed during the booking process. The Company reserves the right to refuse any waste that is hazardous, prohibited by law, incorrectly described, or not suitable for collection with the equipment available.

3.1 Booking requests can be made by telephone or email. The Client will be asked to provide accurate information about the type and quantity of waste, access conditions, location details, and any special requirements.

3.2 The Company may provide an estimate based on information supplied by the Client or following an on-site assessment. Any estimate is given in good faith but does not form a binding quote unless expressly confirmed as such by the Company.

3.4 The Client is responsible for ensuring all information supplied at the time of booking is complete and accurate. If the information is found to be incorrect or incomplete, the Company may adjust the price, vary the Services, or, if necessary, cancel the booking.
