3.3 The Contract between the Customer and Waste Disposal Highbury is formed when we issue our booking confirmation. We may refuse a booking at our discretion, including where the requested Service is outside our service area or where the Waste is not suitable for collection.
4. Customer Responsibilities
4.1 The Customer is responsible for ensuring that:
a. Access to the collection point is safe, unobstructed, and available at the agreed time.

4.2 If the Customer fails to provide the access or information required for safe and lawful collection, Waste Disposal Highbury may cancel or postpone the collection, and a call-out or cancellation charge may apply.
5. Service Times and Access
5.1 Collection times are given as estimates or time windows. While we make reasonable efforts to attend within the agreed period, we cannot guarantee exact times due to traffic, previous jobs, and other operational factors.
5.2 The Customer must ensure that Waste is ready for collection from the start of the agreed collection window and remains accessible for the duration of that period.
