Accessibility Statement — Commercial Waste Havering

Havering waste service accessibility overview illustrationThis accessibility statement sets out how Commercial Waste Havering and related services work to make waste collection and information accessible to the widest possible audience. Our commitment to inclusive service delivery for Havering commercial waste aims to meet the WCAG 2.1 AA standard where practical. We recognise that accessibility is an ongoing process and we publish this statement to be transparent about our current status, planned improvements, and how we support customers who need alternative formats.

We actively design content and interfaces for Havering commercial waste customers with screen-readers and assistive technologies in mind. Pages and digital forms are structured with clear semantic headings, labels, and landmarks to improve navigation for desktop and mobile screen-reader users. Our team reviews content to ensure alternative text is present for essential images and that document formats such as PDFs are tagged where possible to support accessibility tools for people using assistive devices.

A cluttered storage area filled with various household items and rubbish, including multiple transparent plastic storage boxes stacked on shelves, some with covers and others open, revealing contents like small containers and miscellaneous objects. In the foreground, there are several large plastic plant pots, both terracotta and plastic, with garden tools such as a broom, a dustpan, and a mop leaning against them. A wooden ladder is positioned amid the items, alongside a wooden chair and a folding step stool. A black trolley and a hand truck are visible, used for moving or transporting rubbish. The shelves in the background hold additional items, including cardboard boxes, plastic storage bins, and camping or sports equipment, all seemingly disorganized and stored in a garage or storage room with concrete flooring. The scene illustrates typical rubbish that Commercial Waste Havering might be called upon to remove or manage within a property in the Havering area, emphasizing the importance of professional waste removal services for cluttered domestic or commercial spaces in the vicinity of London postal code areas related to Havering.To support keyboard-only users of commercial waste services in Havering, we ensure that interactive components are reachable and operable via keyboard navigation. Focus order follows a logical tab sequence, skip links are provided for faster access to primary content, and visible focus indicators help users understand their position on a page. Where third-party tools are used, we work with vendors to improve accessibility or provide accessible alternatives for Havering waste management customers.

A large commercial waste removal truck parked on a paved area, filled with tightly compressed bales of mixed recyclable and non-recyclable waste materials, primarily consisting of paper, cardboard, and plastic packaging. The truck is white and grey, with an open-top cargo area supported by a metal frame, allowing visibility of the densely packed contents. A person wearing a high-visibility vest and dark trousers is walking past the vehicle on the right side, near the rear, possibly engaged in waste handling or inspection. The background includes a clear sky and other vehicles, with some loose waste debris scattered on the ground near the truck, indicating ongoing rubbish collection activities. This scene demonstrates typical rubbish removal operations, relevant to services offered by Commercial Waste Havering, serving the local Havering area, often seen on commercial or industrial premises for efficient waste management.We aim for compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA across our public-facing digital assets.

We prioritise issues that affect essential tasks for commercial clients — such as arranging collections, managing accounts, and accessing bills — and track remediation through an internal accessibility roadmap tailored to Havering commercial waste priorities.

  • Screen-reader support with clear semantic markup and ARIA where required.
  • Robust keyboard navigation and visible focus states to ensure operability without a mouse.

A young woman with light brown hair smiling and wearing a green sweater is standing against a plain white background, holding a blue plastic recycling bin filled with transparent plastic bottles of varying sizes. The bottles, made of clear PET material, include both partially filled and empty containers, some capped and some capless, with smooth surfaces and visible ridges around their necks. The collection of bottles is stacked upright within the bin, which appears to be positioned on a flat surface, possibly indoors or in a waste collection area.
