Purpose and Scope

Operator reviewing commercial waste collection documentation This complaints procedure explains how concerns about our business waste removal Neasden services are handled. It applies to all commercial waste collection and disposal activities delivered to business customers, including commercial waste removal Neasden and business rubbish removal arrangements. The aim is to ensure complaints are addressed promptly, fairly and in accordance with legal and contractual obligations.

We recognise that even well-managed commercial waste collection in Neasden can sometimes fall short of expectations. This document outlines the steps a customer or authorised representative can expect after raising an issue, the timescales we follow, and the remedies we may offer. It is intended as a legal process statement rather than operational guidance.

Definitions

For the purposes of this procedure: a "complaint" is any expression of dissatisfaction related to our commercial waste services. A "complainant" is the business or authorised agent who reports the issue. This includes disputes about missed collections, contamination, invoicing queries associated with business rubbish removal in Neasden, damaged property or environmental concerns.

How to Submit a Complaint

Complaints should be submitted in writing, clearly identifying the nature of the issue, relevant dates, contract or service reference, and any supporting information. Where a complaint is raised verbally, it will be logged and the complainant will be invited to confirm the details in writing to assist formal recording and investigation.

Initial Acknowledgement

On receipt of a complaint, we will acknowledge it within a set period. Typically an acknowledgement will be issued within five working days and will include the name of the person responsible for handling the matter and an estimated timescale for our full response. For straightforward matters we aim to resolve issues within 10 working days.

Where investigations require liaison with third parties (for example, contractors, transfer stations or environmental authorities) we will explain these steps and provide periodic updates until resolution. The complainant will be advised if additional time is required and the reasons for any delay.

Investigation and Decision

Each complaint will be investigated by someone independent of the operational activity in question where possible. Investigations will include review of service records, schedules, CCTV logs if applicable, and interviews with staff or contractors involved in the collection or disposal of commercial waste.

Outcome and Remedies

Following investigation, we will provide a written decision summarising findings and the proposed remedial action, if any. Remedies may include, but are not limited to:

Service correction: arranging a re-collection or remedial visit where collections were missed or contamination handling was inadequate;
Compensation: in limited circumstances where loss or damage is attributable to our service;
Contract adjustments: amendments to collection frequency or container provision where operational shortcomings are identified;
Training and process changes: internal measures to reduce recurrence of similar issues.

Decisions will be proportionate to the issue raised and aligned with contractual terms. Where a complaint is upheld in part, we will explain which elements were accepted and why others were not upheld.

Escalation and Independent Review

If the complainant remains dissatisfied after our final decision, the matter may be escalated internally for review by senior management. Where relevant and available, the complainant can also pursue independent dispute resolution channels specified under the contract or industry regulators. Any escalation will be handled transparently, with a clear record of steps taken and conclusions reached.

Confidentiality, Record Keeping and Learning

All complaint records are retained in accordance with data protection and business record retention policies. Details of individual complaints are treated as confidential and shared only with those who need to be involved in resolution or regulatory reporting. A summary of complaint trends will be used to inform continuous improvement of our commercial waste removal services.

We maintain an audit trail of complaints, investigations and outcomes to demonstrate compliance with contractual and regulatory duties. This includes actions taken to mitigate any environmental risk or health and safety implications arising from a complaint.

Monitoring and Review: Our complaints data are reviewed regularly to identify recurring issues with business waste removal processes. Lessons learned are translated into training, process controls and supplier performance measures to improve future service delivery.
