Accessibility at Waste Collection Putney

Waste Collection Putney is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive online experience for all people in the Putney area, including disabled users, older people, and anyone using assistive technologies. We want everyone to be able to find information about accessible waste collection services in Putney, book collections, and contact our team without barriers.

Our Accessibility Commitment

We aim for our website and online services to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible and user friendly for people with a wide range of access needs. We consider accessibility an ongoing responsibility and are continually working to improve the experience for all visitors to our Waste Collection Putney website.

Using Screen Readers

The Waste Collection Putney website is designed to work with modern screen reader software. We use clear heading structures so that screen reader users can navigate pages efficiently and understand the hierarchy of content. Images that support the content are given descriptive alternative text wherever possible to make sure that essential information about our waste collection services in Putney is available to users who cannot see the images.

We avoid using images of text and rely on real text so that screen readers and other assistive technologies can interpret and present the content accurately. We also aim to keep language plain and direct, so that information about accessible waste collection in Putney is easy to understand.

Keyboard Navigation

Our site can be used without a mouse. All interactive elements, such as menus, forms, and buttons, are intended to be reachable and usable with a keyboard. This supports users who rely on keyboard navigation, switch devices, or other alternative input methods.

We work to ensure the following for keyboard users:

Clear and visible focus indicators so you can see which element is active as you move through the page using the keyboard.

Logical tab order so that you can move through navigation, main content, and forms in a sensible sequence when accessing waste collection information for the Putney area.

No keyboard traps, meaning you should always be able to move to the next item or back to the previous item using only your keyboard.

Visual Design and Readability

We aim to provide sufficient colour contrast between text and backgrounds to improve readability for users with low vision or colour blindness. Text can be resized using your browser controls, and the layout is designed so that content remains usable when text size is increased.

We avoid relying on colour alone to convey meaning whenever we present information about waste collection services, schedules, or accessible options for Putney residents.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our website and may update code, design, and content to maintain and improve alignment with WCAG 2.1 AA standards. When we add new pages or features related to Waste Collection Putney, accessibility is part of our design and development process.
