Accessibility Statement for Commercial Waste Greenhithe

Welcome to our accessibility statement for Commercial Waste Greenhithe. This statement explains how our Greenhithe commercial waste and recycling services strive to meet the needs of users with disabilities. We commit to making information about our waste collection and commercial recycling options accessible to everyone, including people using assistive technology and alternative browsing methods.

Our aim is to follow recognised accessibility standards for commercial waste sites in Greenhithe and to continually improve the experience for customers who use Greenhithe commercial waste services. We monitor accessibility performance and apply improvements across digital content, forms, and published materials so that essential service information is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.

This statement references compliance with the WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines. We aim for conformance with WCAG 2.1 at level AA across our public-facing pages and documents describing commercial waste in Greenhithe. Where a specific page, document, or interactive element is not fully conformant, we provide alternative access and clear instructions to ensure information remains available.

We offer screen-reader support by ensuring semantic structure, clear headings, and descriptive link text for content relating to Greenhithe waste services. Our content authors use proper landmark roles and accessible ARIA where necessary to improve navigation when using assistive technologies. Images and diagrams used for commercial waste guidance include descriptive text in associated metadata and image descriptions.

Keyboard navigation is supported throughout pages explaining commercial waste collection in Greenhithe and our service options. Users can navigate to key elements, forms, and interactive maps using the keyboard alone. Focus order is logical and visible, and interactive controls (buttons, links, form fields) are reachable and operable via standard keyboard keys.

We also provide alternative formats for core service documents about commercial waste collection Greenhithe on request. If you require content in an alternate format such as large print, readable text, or accessible digital formats, our accessibility team will work to provide materials promptly and in a usable format.

Standards and testing: we use automated checks and manual testing with screen readers and keyboard-only navigation to validate pages focused on Greenhithe commercial waste operations. Regular reviews include:

• Verification against WCAG 2.1 AA checkpoints relevant to content and forms
• Manual keyboard navigation tests across key user journeys for business waste accounts
• Compatibility testing with common screen readers and browser combinations
