Accessibility Statement for Rubbish Waste Area Services
Our Accessibility Approach at Rubbish Waste
Rubbish Waste is committed to making our website and digital information accessible to as many people as possible, including individuals with disabilities. As a locally focused waste collection provider, we believe accessibility is an essential part of delivering a responsible and inclusive service within the Rubbish Waste area. This Accessibility Statement outlines the measures we take to support accessibility, the standards we aim to meet, and how users can request assistance or report accessibility issues.
We recognise that accessibility is an ongoing responsibility. Our goal is to ensure that everyone can access information about our waste collection in the area, our area rubbish removal service, and our environmental commitments without unnecessary barriers.
Compliance with Accessibility Standards
The Rubbish Waste website is designed to align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines are widely recognised as the international standard for accessible web content and focus on making websites perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users.
By working towards WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, we aim to support users with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments. Accessibility considerations are integrated into our design and content decisions to ensure information is presented clearly and consistently across the site.
Screen Reader and Assistive Technology Support
We have structured our website content to be compatible with common screen readers and assistive technologies. Headings are used in a logical order, text content is written clearly, and page layouts are designed to support meaningful reading sequences.
Where possible, visual elements are accompanied by descriptive text to ensure users relying on screen readers can understand the purpose and context of on-screen content. This approach helps make information about Rubbish Waste services more accessible across the area.
Keyboard Navigation and Usability
The Rubbish Waste website is designed to be navigable using a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse or touchscreen. Interactive elements can be accessed using standard keyboard commands, allowing users with motor impairments or assistive input devices to move through the site effectively.
We aim to ensure that navigation menus, buttons, and form elements follow a logical tab order and are clearly visible when focused. This improves usability for keyboard users and contributes to a more inclusive browsing experience.
Readable Content and Visual Clarity
We strive to present content in a clear and readable manner. Text is written using straightforward language, with sufficient contrast between text and background colours to support users with visual impairments. Layouts are kept consistent across pages to reduce confusion and improve ease of use.
Our commitment to clarity supports all users, including those accessing information about accessible Rubbish Waste area services from mobile devices, assistive technologies, or alternative browsing setups.
Limitations and Continuous Improvement
While we make every effort to ensure our website meets accessibility standards, we acknowledge that some content or features may not yet be fully accessible. Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we regularly review our website to identify opportunities for improvement.
As technology evolves and user needs change, we remain committed to updating our content and functionality to better support accessibility across our digital services.
Accessibility Support and Requests
If you experience any difficulty accessing information on the Rubbish Waste website, or if you require content in an alternative format, we encourage you to contact us with details of your request. We are committed to responding to accessibility enquiries promptly and working to provide reasonable adjustments where possible.
Feedback from users helps us improve accessibility for everyone using our waste collection in the area services. Rubbish Waste values inclusivity and remains dedicated to providing accessible information and support to the entire community we serve.
