Accessibility Commitment for Rubbish Collection Putney

Rubbish Collection Putney is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive online experience for all residents, businesses and visitors in the Putney area. We want everyone to be able to access information about our accessible rubbish collection services, recycling options and booking arrangements regardless of technology, abilities or personal circumstances.

Our Accessibility Standards

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1 at level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, hearing, cognitive, learning and motor impairments. By working towards WCAG 2.1 AA, we also improve usability for all users of our rubbish collection services in Putney.

Our goal is that key tasks such as learning about our rubbish collection services, understanding service areas in Putney and requesting support can be completed without barriers. We regularly review our website design, structure and content to improve clarity, readability and consistency.

Screen Reader Compatibility

Our website is designed to support modern screen readers used by people who are blind or have low vision. We use clear headings, descriptive text and logical content order so that screen reader users can navigate efficiently through information about accessible rubbish collection in Putney.

Where possible, we provide descriptive alternative text for meaningful images and clear labels for forms related to bookings, enquiries and service requests. We aim to avoid content that relies solely on colour or images to convey important information.

Keyboard Navigation

The Rubbish Collection Putney website is intended to be navigable using a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse or touch input. Users should be able to move through menus, links, buttons and forms in a logical tab order and activate functions using common keystrokes.

We aim to maintain a visible focus style so that users can easily see which element is selected at any time. This supports people with mobility impairments, keyboard-only users and users of alternative input devices who rely on clear focus indication for an efficient experience.

Text Readability and Structure

We strive to write content in plain language, with short paragraphs and meaningful headings, so that information about rubbish collection services in the Putney area is easy to understand. We use high colour contrast for text and backgrounds wherever possible to support users with low vision or colour vision differences.

Our pages are designed to reflow on different screen sizes so that users can zoom in or view content on mobile devices and tablets without losing access to core information or important controls.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. As our rubbish collection services in Putney grow and change, we continue to review our website and digital content. We may not always achieve every aspect of WCAG 2.1 AA on every page, but we are committed to identifying issues and addressing them in a timely manner.

We value feedback from users with disabilities, as this helps us prioritise improvements that have the greatest impact on real-world accessibility.

Accessibility Responsibility
