Accessibility Statement for Recycled London

Recycled London accessibility overview banner with local city imagery Recycled London is committed to making our online presence and local services accessible to everyone across the recycled london area. This statement explains our approach to accessibility, the standards we apply and the features we provide to support users with diverse needs. We aim to follow WCAG 2.1 AA compliance as a baseline for our digital content, and we review accessibility regularly as part of continuous improvement.

We design content with inclusivity in mind: clear language, consistent structure, and predictable navigation. Our site and service information for the Recycled-London community are created to be perceivable, operable, understandable and robust. We use semantic markup, accessible headings and ARIA roles where appropriate to assist assistive technologies and to improve usability for screen-reader users.

A young woman with long blonde hair styled in a side braid, wearing a green top and a striped apron, holds a white sign with a large green recycling symbol composed of three chasing arrows. She is standing in front of a plain white background, displaying a neutral expression with slight a smile. The recycling symbol is centered on the sign, which she holds directly in front of her chest with her right hand. The image emphasizes environmental sustainability and recycling practices, consistent with waste management services offered by Recycled London. The woman's attire and the clean presentation of the sign highlight an environmentally conscious message, subtly connecting to rubbish and recycling services available across London and the surrounding postcode areas, including [POSTCODE]. For visitors relying on a screen reader, key pages and service descriptions include descriptive headings, meaningful link text and skip links to bypass repetitive content. In the recycled london area context we emphasize locality information and service details in ways that are announced clearly by most modern screen readers. We also test with common screen readers to ensure content order and live region updates are announced correctly.

Keyboard navigation is a priority. All interactive controls — including forms, menus and dialogs — are reachable and operable with a keyboard alone, ensuring that users who cannot use a mouse can still access Recycled London content and services. Focus indicators are visible and logical, and we avoid keyboard traps so users can tab through content predictably.

A large red plastic skip bin filled with various garden waste, including leafy branches, twigs, and overgrown plants, situated on a paved driveway near a white fence with a brick foundation. The container has a sturdy construction with a textured finish and metal reinforcement around the edges. Surrounding the bin, there is a partly visible garden area with dense greenery in the background, and a large plant or tree is casting shadows on the ground. The scene appears to be outdoors, in an urban or suburban environment, possibly during daylight hours with natural lighting highlighting the vibrant red colour of the skip and the green hues of the garden debris. The image exemplifies waste removal or clearance services, such as those provided by Recycled London, in a typical residential setting, with the skip positioned for easy loading and collection of rubbish or garden waste. We maintain a checklist aligned to WCAG 2.1 AA to guide content authors and developers. This includes contrast thresholds for text and interactive elements, responsive layouts that support zoom and reflow, and alternatives for non-text content. Where media is used, we provide captions and transcripts where possible to support auditory and cognitive accessibility.

Our accessibility work involves automated checks and manual testing. We prioritize issues that affect the most common tasks for users across the Recycled London services, and we document fixes and planned improvements. If an accessibility barrier is identified, we record it and schedule remediation based on severity and impact.

We also include guidance for content contributors so new pages and local service notices are published in accessible formats. This includes templates with clear heading structure, alternative text guidance for images, and acceptable use of color and emphasis. Using underlined links only for links, and avoiding color-only indicators are part of our content principles.

A waste collection operative dressed in high-visibility orange clothing and a white cap is operating a rear-loading rubbish collection vehicle on a suburban street. The worker is positioned on the right side of the image, appearing to be handling a large black wheeled rubbish bin made of durable plastic with a textured surface. The bin is placed on a paved road or driveway, adjacent to a patch of grass and some trees in the background, indicating a residential area within the vicinity of London. The rear section of the collection vehicle, primarily grey and yellow with safety reflectors, is visible on the left, with mechanical components and a conveyor mechanism for emptying bins. Natural daylight illuminates the scene, highlighting the textures of the bin's surface and the equipment. This image reflects routine rubbish removal services by Recycled London, emphasizing professionalism and environmental responsibility in waste collection within the local community. To support users further, we provide alternative ways to access information and services across the recycled london region. These alternatives may include plain-language summaries, printable versions of key information, and structured data that assists assistive tools. We strive to make every service touchpoint as inclusive as possible.

In a bright, indoor kitchen setting, a smiling man with dark hair and a light purple shirt holds a large blue recycling bin filled with empty glass bottles and jars, showing the recycling symbol on the front. Behind him, a woman with dark hair tied back and dressed in a light grey top stands near a wooden countertop, which holds a smaller green recycling bin with a recycling symbol on its side. The background features a wooden cabinet with glass doors displaying dishes and glassware, alongside a matching wooden drawer unit. The kitchen environment is well-lit with natural or artificial light, and the floor is not visible. The scene reflects a household actively engaging in waste separation and recycling, consistent with local rubbish management practices, especially in London or surrounding areas, and aligns with Recycled London's focus on rubbish and waste disposal services. If you encounter an accessibility issue or need information in a different format, please get in touch with our accessibility team using the accessible contact form or other published contact options. We will respond promptly and, where reasonable, provide the information in an alternate format. Our goal is to resolve accessibility requests fairly and quickly.

How we test and improve

Our testing approach includes automated validators, manual audits, and user testing where feasible. We track compliance to WCAG 2.1 AA and prioritize fixes that improve keyboard navigation, screen-reader support and perceivable content for the Recycled London audience. We also keep a public schedule of planned accessibility updates and review that schedule regularly.

Key accessibility features:

  • Screen-reader support: semantic headings, ARIA where needed, meaningful alt text and skip links.
  • Keyboard navigation: all functionality operable by keyboard, visible focus styles, no traps.
  • WCAG 2.1 AA standards: contrast, text resize, predictable layout and clear language.

We welcome accessibility requests and aim to improve continuously. Please include details about the page or service and the nature of the difficulty so we can address it efficiently. We will acknowledge requests and advise on next steps, including timelines for resolution when applicable.
