Accessibility Statement for Waste Collection Wembley Online Services

This accessibility statement explains how we work to make the Waste Collection Wembley online information and services accessible for as many people as possible. We want everyone to be able to access details about rubbish and recycling collections, bulky waste, and local waste facilities in a way that suits their needs.

We are committed to providing a website that meets the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, known as WCAG 2.1, at level AA. These guidelines are recognised as the international standard for designing accessible digital services. Our goal is to remove barriers that might prevent Wembley residents from finding and using waste collection information online.

Using the Waste Collection Wembley Website

We aim to make the Waste Collection Wembley area information easy to read, understand, and navigate. You should be able to change colours and contrast settings using your own device, increase text size using your browser, and move around the site without needing a mouse. Text content is written in plain language where possible, and we avoid unnecessary jargon about recycling, waste collection schedules, or local disposal rules.

The layout is designed to adapt to different screen sizes, including mobile phones and tablets. Content is structured with headings, paragraphs, and clear labels to help you find information such as collection days, service updates, or arrangements for waste disposal in the Wembley area.

Screen Reader Support

The site is designed to work with common screen reader software so that people who are blind or have low vision can access waste collection information. We use headings, lists, and meaningful text for buttons and controls so that screen readers can present the structure of each page clearly. Where images are used, we aim to provide alternative text that explains their purpose, especially when they relate to bin types, recycling symbols, or important service notices.

We also work to ensure that content is presented in a logical reading order. This helps screen reader users understand each step when checking waste collection timetables, service changes, or guidance on how to present waste and recycling for collection in Wembley.

Keyboard Navigation

The website is built so that you can use it entirely with a keyboard. You should be able to move through menus, forms, and content areas using standard keyboard keys. Interactive elements such as buttons and form fields are designed to receive focus in a logical order, and visible focus outlines help you see which part of the page you are currently using.

When you complete forms to request information about waste collection Wembley services or report an issue, labels and instructions are provided so that you can understand what each field is asking for without using a mouse.

Ongoing Improvements and Limitations

We test the site on a regular basis to help maintain WCAG 2.1 AA level accessibility. We understand that accessibility is an ongoing process, especially as waste collection services, policies, and online tools change over time. There may be some older content or documents that are not fully accessible. When we identify issues, we prioritise fixing content that is needed for day to day waste and recycling use in the Wembley area.

If you experience difficulty with any part of the site, we encourage you to contact us so we can investigate and improve the service for everyone.

Please explain what information you need and what format would be most helpful for you, along with your preferred way for us to respond.

You can also contact us to report any accessibility problems, to tell us if you think the site does not meet accessibility requirements, or to suggest improvements that would make it easier for you to access waste collection information in the Wembley area. We take all feedback seriously and use it to plan future updates to the website and our digital services.
