How to fill your bags
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILL YOUR GRAB-BAG AS WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE COLLECTION OF BAGS THAT ARE NOT FILLED ACCORDING TO OUR GUIDELINES.
We will apply a call-out charge of £20.00 (including VAT) per collection if we are unable to collect any bags that have not been filled according to our guidelines.
If you are unsure of where to place your bags for filling please phone us on 01202 675296 or bear in mind that the cranes on our trucks reach approximately 3.96 metres (13 ft) and the maximum wall height they can reach over is approximately 1.82 metres (6 ft).
Ensure our operator can gain access to your bags wihilst our vehicle is standing on the public highway.
You will need permission from your local authority if you wish to place your bag on the public highway.
If you have any particular collection requirements, please inform us before we send out our truck for bag collection.
We are able to offer off-road collection, only if the driver has your permission and you accept full responsibility and if the driver feels he is able to do so safely. You must discuss these requirements with us BEFORE you fill your bags and please be aware that all off-road collections may still be refused for the reasons stated above.
Please do not attempt to move your bag whilst filling it, as you may injure yourself and/or damage the bag.
When your bags are ready for collection, please phone us and we will endeavour to collect within five working days.
