TERMS & CONDITIONS

All booking are subject to our terms and conditions 

About Us

We are Evans Rubbish & Recycling Ltd, a company registered in England under company number 13442707 and with our registered office at 23a The Precinct, London Road, Waterlooville, PO7 7DT

Basis of Sale

The whole of the agreement between the customer and Evans Rubbish & Recycling Ltd shall be set out in these terms and conditions to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions.

Where we are able to provide a quote for our services without first needing to inspect the location where our services are to be provided then a contract shall be created between us on your acceptance of our quote, whether by telephone or email or otherwise.

We reserve the right to vary our quoted price if at the time of collection the information you provided to us at the time of quotation was incomplete or inaccurate. We reserve the right to vary any quoted price if, during the process of the collection, new information regarding the nature of the waste becomes apparent whether or not this could have been ascertained at the start of the process. Any cost provided in advance of the collection will normally be an estimate only.

Provision of Services

Unless we are prevented from doing so by a Force Majeure Event, we will provide services with reasonable care and skill.

We will make every effort to provide the services on removal dates provided but there may be delays due to circumstances beyond our control. In this case we will inform you to arrange a revised collection date as soon as reasonably possible. Where we provide you with an estimated time of arrival this should not be construed as offering any form of guarantee as to the time upon which we will attend to perform the collection.

You shall provide our employees with free and safe access to the location on the premises from where the rubbish is to be removed. You shall also notify us of any special circumstances which may be relevant to our quotation, including but not limited to, if the rubbish is difficult to get to, if any items are large or heavy, if it involves our staff working at height, if the rubbish is secured, if there is likely to be a dispute as to whether the rubbish can be cleared, or if we are unable to park free of charge outside the premises where the rubbish is to be collected from. If you do not, or you provide us with incomplete or inaccurate information or instructions, we may cancel a collection at any time, either on attendance at site or by giving you notice, or we may make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to cover any extra work or costs that are required.

In the event that we attend the premises in your absence you undertake to provide us with the reliable means to contact you and take payment prior to the collection proceeding. Failure to do so may result in the collection failing in which circumstances Evans Rubbish & Recycling Ltd is not to be held liable for any loss or damage howsoever incurred.

You confirm that you have the full authority for us to collect and dispose of the rubbish. You shall indemnify us from and against any cost or expense we suffer or incur from any third party as a result of your not having the authority for us to clear the rubbish including any containers.

If we detect or suspect there may be any asbestos, syringes, drug paraphernalia or other hazardous or dangerous substances or materials on site we may at our sole discretion, immediately vacate the premises, and will not be responsible for further collection and disposal. In such circumstances you shall still be fully liable to pay for our attendance in full and for any waste already removed.

If we need to engage expert services to remove such materials already loaded onto our trucks, or having been tipped at a transfer station, we reserve the right to charge you for such services, if at the time of removal we were unaware of any asbestos or other hazardous or dangerous substances or materials in what has been removed. You shall indemnify us from and against any cost or expense we suffer or incur from any third party as a result of us transferring hazardous material to a transfer station where we were unaware of the presence of such material at the time of the transfer.

We will agree to sign a Waste Transfer Note provided by us upon request at the location and time of the collection. We do not agree to provide any further documentation other that at our discretion and we reserve the right to charge an administration fee for any documents that we provide other than a standard Waste Transfer Note. It is the waste producers responsibility to provide a Waste Transfer Note and the producer of the waste should retain this document for at least two years. Where we have the Waste Transfer Note stored, we will provide a single copy on request for a period of two years after the collection, but we reserve the right to charge a reasonable administration fee for multiple documents or for requests that we consider to be unreasonable or vexatious.

Any sharp or dangerous objects e.g. knives and broken glass should be separately stored in an appropriate container by you before we arrive for the collection. Under no circumstances should sharp objects be stored in bags. This requirement is for the safety of our staff.

Payment and Price

All prices are including TAX

Our primary pricing method is to charge for each collection by attendance fee and then by the cubic yard weighing cumulatively up to a fixed amount per cubic yard taken as an average over the whole collection. As it is impossible to weigh waste in situ, the price quoted may be based solely on our visual estimate of the weight of the waste to be removed. Such weights may be determined accurately in retrospect by way of a transfer station weighbridge ticket and subject to agreement the price may be varied in retrospect. The customer must request such an arrangement in advance of the removal of the waste so as to allow for the waste removed to be kept separate from other waste for the purposed of weighing, and a collection on these terms will not always be available. The current weight allowance is published on our website and may vary subject to special agreement.

Payment must be made at the time of collection unless a prior agreement has been made. In the event payment is not made, any waste collected may be returned to the producer. Payments not made within 14 days of the collection date or on the due date for account holders will incur an administration fee of £40 for invoices up to £999.99; £70 for invoices up to £9,999.99 and £100 for invoices over £10,000.00. We reserve the right to charge interest on any unpaid balance at the rate of 8% above the base rate as set from time to time by The Bank of England. We do not assume ownership of any waste collected until payment for the collection has been made and a transfer note has been provided to the customer.

We may invoice you at any time after we have provided the services. Invoices must be paid within 30 calendar days of the date of the invoice save by prior agreement. Invoices to customers who do not have a prior credit account arrangement with Evans Rubbish & Recycling Ltd are due to be paid upon receipt.

Time for payment of our invoices shall be of the essence of the contract.

Without limiting any other remedies or rights that we may have, if you do not pay us on time, we may cancel or suspend our performance of any other further services to you until you have paid the outstanding amounts.

We may from time to time carrying out credit checks with credit reference or other agencies to establish the current credit status of account holders. Should the credit status of an account holder diminish or change in any way that we consider to be adverse then we reserve the right to lessen the credit amount offered or to close the account. In the event that we change the amount of credit offered then the balance of outstanding credit over that amount will immediately become due and we will be entitled to treat the overdue amount as if it had become overdue in the normal way.

We reserve the right to close your account at any time without notice if, in our sole opinion, the account holder or any representative or agent of account holder has been, or is suspected of having been party to bribery, corruption, illegal practices, solicitation of companies that hold accounts with Evans Rubbish & Recycling Ltd, solicitation or offers of employment to current Evans Rubbish & Recycling Ltd staff or any other act that may be considered by us to be to the detriment of Evans Rubbish & Recycling Ltd. Should we close your account then we may at our sole discretion make an immediate demand for all payments for collections as yet unpaid, to be paid within 14 days of the date of demand whether invoiced at the time of account closure or not. For clarity, we will be entitled to require all collections undertaken before the date of account closure, whenever normally due to be paid within 14 days of account closure.

You shall pay all amounts due in full without any deduction or withholding except as required by law and you shall not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against us in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part. Should any amount due become over 7 days overdue then we reserve the right to require immediate payment of all amounts due regardless of the due date on the invoice.

Cancellations and Charges

We may, at our discretion refund the attendance fee if you wish to cancel a booked collection provided such a request to do so is received at any time on the business day preceding the date of the collection by email sent to evansrubbishandrecycling@gmail.com or by telephoning our customer support team on 02393 552 770.

Where you may be deemed to be contracting as a “consumer” then you will additionally have the right to cancel a booking at any time up to the end of fourteen days after the day on which the contract is concluded, subject to the following provisions.

(a) You do not have the right to cancel the contract if the supply of our services begins with your agreement before the end of the fourteen day cancellation period. It is assumed we have your agreement if we are required to carry out our work within this period.

(b) To exercise the statutory right of cancellation, you must provide us with written notice.

If we are unable to remove any items from the premises as, for example, they are too large to fit through the doorways, then if we agree, in our discretion, to try and dismantle the item e.g. remove legs from tables, in order to try and get the item to fit through the doorway, if we are still unable to remove the item from the premises, then we shall not be responsible for the reassembly of such an item.

We allocate 10 minutes for removal to our vehicle for each cubic yard of rubbish at the premises specified together with 10 minutes for our vehicle team to make their initial assessment of the job. Where it takes us longer than the allocated time for the allocated amount of storage space on a truck (which may differ from the amount of space it takes up when stored) we reserve the right to charge for each additional minute of labour at such rates as displayed on the Company’s website from time to time.

If in the sole judgement of our vehicle team the weight of the collection exceeds the weight allowance per cubic yard published on our website, we reserve the right to charge for the whole collection by weight.

‘Difficult waste’ (including but not limited to fridges and car tires) is charged at such rates as displayed on the Company’s website from time to time.

Projected time for the collection, and measurements of weight and volume are all assessed by our vehicle team at their absolute discretion at the start of the collection. We reserve the right to apply additional charges throughout the job and at its conclusion.
