Commercial Waste Leatherhead Accessibility Statement

We are committed to providing accessible waste management information and services across Leatherhead. This statement explains how Commercial Waste Leatherhead designs online materials to be usable by as many people as possible, including those using assistive technology. Our goal is to ensure that businesses, contractors and municipal partners can access commercial waste solutions in Leatherhead without barriers. We continually review policies and training so our services remain inclusive.

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level for all public-facing content related to Leatherhead commercial waste and waste collection services. Wherever possible we apply semantic HTML, accessible headings and consistent navigation. We use clear language, logical structure and high-contrast visuals to help users find information quickly, whether they are arranging a skip, scheduling a commercial collection, or downloading collection schedules.

Screen-reader support is a priority for our commercial waste pages. Key pages and transactional flows include ARIA landmarks, descriptive link text and properly labelled form controls so assistive technologies can present content accurately. Our approach includes alt text for images used in operational guidance, and we avoid images of text. To support different user needs we maintain keyboard focus order and visible focus indicators, and we keep interactive elements reachable without a mouse.

We provide full keyboard navigation across the site sections that explain Leatherhead commercial waste collections. Users can tab through menus, expand accordions, and complete booking forms without loss of functionality. Our development process enforces keyboard operability on modal dialogs, drop-downs and other components that are common in commercial waste portals.

Our testing program combines automated checks with manual reviews and real-user testing. We test with popular screen readers and browsers, and validate focus order, skip links and accessible labels. When we integrate third-party booking tools or mapping widgets for commercial waste in Leatherhead, we assess them for accessibility and work with vendors to improve any shortcomings.

Accessibility features and examples include:

• Clear, hierarchical headings for better navigation
• Proper use of aria attributes and landmarks
• Keyboard-accessible forms and controls
• Readable fonts, adequate contrast and responsive layouts for mobile devices used by on-site teams

Known limitations and alternative options

Some third-party documents or supplier portals that support Leatherhead commercial waste operations may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA. Where practical, we provide accessible alternatives such as text-based versions, plain-language summaries and downloadable documents in accessible formats. If an interactive map or external booking service does not behave as expected with assistive tools, we will offer alternative booking channels and manual arrangements.
