Accessibility Statement for White Goods Recycle Area

At White Goods Recycle we are committed to making the White Goods Recycle area welcoming and usable for everyone. This statement explains how our white goods recycling services and digital information are designed to meet recognized accessibility standards, and how we support people who need alternative formats or assistance. We aim to comply with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines as a baseline for inclusive service delivery across our white-appliance recycling pages and at physical drop-off points.

We design our materials to work with common assistive technologies. Screen-reader support is prioritized so that users relying on speech output can understand and navigate service pages about recycling refrigerators, washing machines and other large appliances. Our content is structured with clear headings, landmarks and semantic markup so that a screen reader can present White Goods Recycle area information in a predictable order.

Keyboard navigation is fully supported across our online White Goods Recycle resources: interactive elements are reachable by tab, visible focus indicators are provided, and controls can be operated without a mouse. Where dynamic content is used, we ensure ARIA attributes convey state changes and updates to assistive technologies. We also provide multiple ways to access important actions so users can choose the method that works best for them.

We maintain a list of accessibility features and improvements for the recycle white goods section, including alternative text for images, captions for media, resizable text up to 200% without loss of content, and high-contrast mode support. These measures help make information about collection points, accepted items and reuse programs more accessible to a broad audience.

Our approach includes regular automated and manual testing. We run accessibility audits using assistive technology such as screen readers and keyboard-only navigation, and we conduct human testing with participants who have diverse needs. Findings from these evaluations drive iterative updates so the White Goods Recycle area continues to improve in usability and compliance.

To support a wide set of users we also offer guidance on how to prepare items for white goods recycling and how to request collection or drop-off assistance in accessible formats. Staff training ensures team members at recycling hubs understand basic accessibility principles and can provide considerate, helpful service to everyone. We use clear language and plain instructions throughout our materials.

Known Limitations and Ongoing Work

We strive for excellence, but there may be occasional pages or materials that do not fully meet our accessibility goals. When issues are identified we prioritize fixes and provide temporary alternatives when needed. Our continuous improvement plan covers both digital content and in-person accessibility at collection sites for large appliances.

We welcome requests for materials in an alternative format, support to complete forms, or assistance at a local recycling point.
