Accessibility at Waste Removal Merton

Waste Removal Merton is committed to providing a website and service experience that is accessible, inclusive, and easy to use for everyone in the Merton area. We want people of all abilities to be able to find information about our waste removal services, request collections, and contact our team without barriers.

Our Accessibility Commitment

Our aim is for the Waste Removal Merton website to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, level AA. These guidelines describe how to make web content more accessible for disabled people, including people who use assistive technologies. We treat accessibility as an ongoing process and work to improve the experience for all visitors, including customers, suppliers, and local residents.

Measures We Take

We review the site design, navigation, and content to support an accessible waste removal experience for people in Merton. Our current measures include using clear headings and structure, meaningful text labels, and layouts that respond to different screen sizes. We also seek to avoid content that flickers or moves in a way that may cause discomfort.

Screen Reader Support

The Waste Removal Merton website is designed to work with modern screen readers and speech software. We aim to provide clear page titles, logical heading levels, and informative alt text for important images. Where images are decorative and do not add information, we aim to ensure that they are ignored by screen readers so that users can focus on the content that matters.

Forms and key information about our waste removal services in the Merton area are written in plain language wherever possible. We work to ensure that form fields have meaningful labels and instructions that screen reader users can understand.

Keyboard Navigation

The website is designed so that most content and functions can be accessed using a keyboard alone. Users should be able to move through interactive elements, such as menus, buttons, and forms, using the tab, arrow, and enter keys. We aim to provide a visible focus indicator so that keyboard users can see which element is currently selected as they move through the page.

If you experience any difficulty using our site with a keyboard, especially when trying to request accessible waste removal services in Merton, please contact us using the details below so that we can investigate and improve.

Supported Devices and Browsers

We aim for our website to work on a range of current browsers and devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. The layout is designed to be responsive so that text and controls remain usable at different screen sizes. We recommend keeping your browser and assistive technology up to date for the best experience.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing effort at Waste Removal Merton. As our accessible waste removal services and information change, we review new pages and features for potential barriers. We may carry out manual checks, use automated tools, and seek feedback from users to identify areas for improvement.

Some parts of the site may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria. When we find issues, we aim to fix them as soon as we reasonably can, based on impact and technical feasibility.
