Accessibility Commitment for Barbican Business Waste Collection

Business Waste Removal Barbican is committed to ensuring that our online presence and our operational information are accessible to everyone. We recognise that accessibility is an ongoing obligation across the Barbican commercial waste removal sector, and we actively aim to remove barriers for people who use assistive technologies. Our accessibility statement explains how we support accessibility for customers, tenants and businesses in the Barbican area.

We design our site and service materials to conform to WCAG 2.1 AA standards where feasible. This includes attention to text contrast, resizable text, clear headings, and consistent navigation for those seeking information about corporate waste services in Barbican. We use semantic HTML and follow recognised patterns so that information about business waste removal in the Barbican is predictable and easy to find.

We provide improved support for screen readers by using correct landmark roles, descriptive link text and ARIA attributes only when necessary. Our content structure emphasises meaningful headings, lists and labels to make content navigation easier for assistive technologies. Where dynamic content is presented, we strive to ensure that updates are announced for people using screen readers so they remain informed about changes to collection schedules or service notices.

Accessible features and keyboard navigation

We prioritise keyboard accessibility so people can use the site and service tools without a mouse. Focus order is logical and visible, interactive elements are reachable and actionable with keyboard controls, and skip links are provided where useful. Our Barbican business waste removal pages include accessible forms with labelled fields and clear error handling to support a wide range of users.

Our accessible design approach includes automated and manual testing. We test with screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and magnification tools to address issues before content is published. Key accessibility features include:

• Keyboard navigation for all interactive controls
• Support for common screen readers and assistive technologies
• Readable fonts, sufficient contrast and responsive layouts for mobile use

We also work to ensure third-party content and embedded resources used for Barbican commercial waste removal communications meet accessibility expectations. Where third-party tools cannot meet our standards immediately, we seek alternatives or offer equivalent accessible information.

Even with these efforts, some parts of the site or service materials may not yet fully conform to WCAG 2.1 AA. When we identify limitations, we document them and prioritise fixes based on user impact. Known limitations are reviewed regularly and addressed in development cycles; we also welcome notification of any issues so we can investigate and resolve them.

If you encounter an accessibility barrier in relation to our Barbican business waste removal information or services, please get in touch through the website accessibility contact options or the accessibility link in the site footer. When making a request, please describe the content or feature, the platform (desktop/mobile), and the assistive technology you use if applicable. This helps us reproduce and prioritise the issue.

We aim to respond to accessibility requests promptly and to provide information or alternative formats where reasonably possible. We track enquiries and changes, and we publish updates when significant accessibility improvements are made. Continuous improvement is central to our approach: we combine user reports, automated scans and manual checks to make services more usable for everyone in the Barbican and nearby commercial districts.
