Terms & Conditions

This is a notice to you, the Hirer, that by accepting delivery of a waste container or other service, you agree to the full terms and conditions of use.

2. PERMITS AND PERMISSIONS – You warrant that all permissions required before the skip or any other hire item ‘Hire Item(s)’ can lawfully be deposited on the Hirer’s site, including any permission required under the Highways Act 1971, have been obtained, before you request us, or direct our driver, to deposit the Hire Item(s) on your site, and that the said permission(s) will remain in force during the period of hire and, where necessary, for up to 3 working days thereafter. You shall ensure that all Hire Item(s) situated on the highway will be lighted and coned in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Highways Act 1971 and the issuing local authority’s requirements.

You agree that any delivery or collection note signed by a person with apparent authority to do so shall be deemed to be signed by your authorised representative. You shall ensure that in the event of a journey change, you will give us reasonable notice, as a wasted journey charge will apply if we are not notified.
4. IDEMNITY – You shall hold us harmless and keep us fully and effectually indemnified against any claim, demand or penalty arising during the period of hire and which could not have been made had we not agreed to provide the hire service including, but not limited thereto, all third-party claims and claims for damages arising out of accidents related to the Hire item(s).
5. You shall not move the Hire item(s) from where it/they were placed without our consent whether it be on-site or removed off site.
6. WASTE TYPE – Where the waste type does not confirm to the description, as specified on the waste transfer note, or is different to that as specified at the time of the Hire item(s) was ordered, then charges will vary accordingly.

15. Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by our negligence, we shall not be liable to you by reason of any representation, or any implied warranty, condition or other term, or any duty at common law, or under the expressed terms of the contract, for any consequential loss or damage (whether for loss of profit or otherwise), costs, expenses or other claims for consequential or incidental compensation whatsoever (and whether caused by our negligence or any other party entitled to the benefit of this contract, their employees, or agents, or otherwise) which arise out of, or in connection with the hire service, except as expressly provided in these conditions.
16. HIRE DURATION – Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the standard duration of hire is 8 weeks. It is the hirer’s responsibility to ensure collection is arranged with us within this timescale.

17. PAYMENT – Terms of payment will be agreed upon before the delivery of your Hire Item or service. You undertake to ensure payment is made per this agreement.
18. DIVISIBILITY CLAUSE – Where the services extend over more than one invoice period, each invoice raised shall be deemed to be a separate contract and the Client shall pay in full the amount payable under the invoice raised, notwithstanding any rights which the Client may claim in respect of any other services under any other contract between the parties.
19. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE – If any provision or part-provision of these terms and conditions is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of these terms and conditions.
20. PRESENTATION – All asbestos waste must be bagged/wrapped or alternatively the skip lined with polythene prior to the waste being loaded. If an open skip has been requested, the top f the skip must also be sealed prior to exchanges and collections, failure to abide by these requirements may result in the refusal of exchanges or collection of the skip which may result in a wasted journey charge. 1000-gauge polythene is recommended. The same ruling applies for van collection services with a maximum of two sheets per package.
