Accessibility Commitment for Commercial Waste Gunnersbury
We are committed to providing an accessible service for all users of our Gunnersbury commercial waste operations. This Accessibility Statement explains how our commercial waste in Gunnersbury meets accessibility standards, the features we have implemented, and how you can request alternative formats or adjustments. Our goal is to ensure equal access to waste collection, recycling and disposal information across the Gunnersbury area.
Our accessibility work is guided by WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards and good practice. We aim to keep online and on-site information readable, navigable and operable. Key features include clear headings, consistent structure, and support for assistive technology. We use semantic HTML, ARIA landmarks where appropriate, and meaningful link text to help people who rely on screen readers or other assistive tools.
To support accessible interaction with our Gunnersbury waste services we provide:
- Screen-reader support through semantic content structure and ARIA roles.
- Keyboard navigation across interactive pages and booking interfaces so users can operate without a mouse.
- High contrast colour combinations and scalable text to aid readability for people with low vision.
How we meet WCAG 2.1 AA for Gunnersbury commercial waste
Our design and content teams follow WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria for text alternatives, time-based media, keyboard accessibility, focus order, contrast and predictable navigation. We test pages with automated tools and manual checks, including keyboard-only navigation, screen-reader testing and colour contrast analysis.
Documents and supporting materials related to our Gunnersbury waste services are prepared in accessible formats when possible. We provide captions and transcripts for video content and ensure downloadable documents are tagged and structured to be usable with assistive software. If a document is not available in a preferred format, we will make reasonable arrangements to supply it on request.
We continuously review procurement and development practices so that new digital services and third-party tools align with our accessibility expectations. Our procurement includes accessibility criteria to improve consistency across the commercial waste experience in Gunnersbury.
Using our services and reporting barriers
We welcome reports about accessibility barriers and make every effort to respond and remedy issues promptly. If you encounter a barrier while using our resources related to Gunnersbury commercial waste, please let us know via the usual contact channels listed on our main site or through the organisation's primary communication points. We will acknowledge requests and work with you to provide an alternative format, explanation or direct support.
Accessibility is an ongoing programme: we set measurable improvement goals, track progress, and update this statement when significant changes are made. We also work with local stakeholders to ensure on-the-ground waste collection, signage and customer interactions across Gunnersbury consider diverse needs.
Please note that while we strive to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards across all content, some legacy files or third-party resources may not yet fully meet every criterion. When such issues are identified we prioritise remediation, provide interim accessible alternatives, and document expected timelines for fixes.

- Keyboard operability: Forms, booking widgets and controls support full keyboard use.
