Accessibility at Rubbish Removal Merton
Rubbish Removal Merton is committed to providing an accessible online experience for all customers in the Merton area, including people with disabilities. We want everyone to be able to find information about our accessible rubbish removal services, book collections, and contact our team without barriers. This Accessibility Statement explains the steps we are taking to improve accessibility and how you can get in touch if you need help.
Our Accessibility Standards
We aim to align our website and online services with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1 at the AA level. These guidelines are widely recognised as the international standard for improving web accessibility. They help make content easier to perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with for people with a wide range of accessibility needs.
Our goal is to ensure that residents, businesses, and visitors in the Merton area can access information about rubbish removal, waste collection times, and related services without needing assistance from others. We review our site regularly as we continue to expand and refine our services.
Screen Reader Support
The Rubbish Removal Merton website is designed to work with common screen reader software. We use clear headings, meaningful page titles, descriptive labels, and straightforward language to support people who navigate by listening. Images used on the site aim to include alternative text where they provide important information, so that users relying on screen readers can understand the purpose of the images.
We also avoid relying solely on colour or visual appearance to communicate meaning. Where possible, we use text descriptions to explain important features, such as special offers, booking options, or service updates for the Merton area.
Keyboard Navigation
We recognise that some people prefer or need to navigate using a keyboard instead of a mouse or touch screen. Our website is developed to support keyboard navigation so that you can move through content, menus, and forms using keys such as Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter, and the arrow keys.
Interactive elements such as buttons, form fields, and navigation links are designed to be focusable and usable from the keyboard. We aim to ensure that focus indicators are visible so that users always know which element is currently selected, which is especially important for booking rubbish removal services or submitting online enquiries.
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing process. As we update or expand our rubbish removal information for the Merton area, we assess new features for compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA principles. This may include improving colour contrast, refining heading structures, clarifying error messages on forms, and simplifying complex content so that it is easier to understand.
We welcome feedback from customers who use assistive technologies or who have particular accessibility needs. Your experience helps us identify areas where our site can be improved to better serve everyone in the community.

When you get in touch, please tell us which page or service you were trying to use and describe the issue you encountered.

Commitment to Inclusive Service in Merton
Our rubbish removal services are designed to support the diverse needs of households, landlords, and businesses throughout the Merton area. By focusing on accessibility, we aim to make it easier for everyone to arrange collections, check service availability, and understand how we handle different types of waste. We will continue to review our website and services to improve accessibility and to deliver a more inclusive experience for all users.
