Business Waste Removal Hatch End Accessibility Statement
This accessibility statement outlines our commitment to providing inclusive commercial refuse solutions for local organisations. We recognise that clear access to information about business waste removal in Hatch End and nearby areas is important for everyone. Our aim is to meet WCAG 2.1 AA compliance standards across content related to our Hatch End business waste services. We use semantic HTML, ARIA where needed, and testing with assistive technologies to improve accessibility. Screen-reader support and keyboard navigation are primary considerations in our site structure and service information pages.
We strive to make information about commercial waste removal Hatch End available in multiple formats. If you prefer an alternative format, we will make reasonable adjustments where possible. Our pages include readable headings, descriptive link text, and consistent navigation. We use clear language and short paragraphs to help people using magnification or text-to-speech. Visible focus indicators and skip navigation options are implemented to support keyboard-only users, and we maintain contrast ratios that aim to exceed minimum thresholds.
Our approach to technical accessibility includes regular audits and manual testing. Key features include:
- Screen-reader compatibility—content is structured for common screen readers and includes ARIA landmarks where helpful.
- Keyboard navigation—all interactive elements are reachable and operable via keyboard without time limits.
- Resizable text and responsive layout—pages adapt to different devices and allow text zoom without loss of content or functionality.

We follow an ongoing improvement plan that combines automated checks and user testing. Our accessibility process for business rubbish removal Hatch End includes regular scanning for issues, manual review of complex pages (such as forms and calendars), and remediation of identified barriers. We train content authors to write accessible headings and alternative text for images, and we prioritise fixes that impact essential tasks like booking a waste collection or checking service areas.
Keyboard and assistive technology support
For clients accessing our Hatch End commercial waste removal information using assistive technologies, we provide:

Known limitations and ongoing work: while we aim for full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance across all Hatch End business waste pages, some legacy documents or third-party tools may not yet fully conform. Where conformity is not yet achieved, we provide accessible alternatives on request and are working to remediate these areas. We prioritise items that affect booking, billing, and essential service information.
