The provision of the Services may be varied by the Council during Bank Holidays, other holidays, during emergency or to meet other operational requirements including inclement weather or in other circumstances outside the control of the Council.

The Council shall not be liable for any loss or damage howsoever arising for failure to collect the waste from the Customer because of any event beyond the Council's control including access issues, adverse weather conditions, accidents, or obstruction of any public road or highway.
The Customer hereby gives the Council the irrevocable right and licence to enter the Customers premises at any time with or without vehicles and with or without notice for the purposes of assessing the location and/or carrying out the Services.
The Customer does not have any authority to deposit any waste on the public highway in advance of collection. The Services shall not apply to the collection of Trade Waste placed on the public highway.
