1. About us and these terms

Apply to all skip hire, waste collection and tipping by Oakwood Plant Ltd. Placing an order, tipping at the site or signing a weighbridge ticket means you accept them.
Oakwood Plant Ltd, Oakwood House, 28 Nobel Road, Edmonton N18 3BH. Company no. 01293096, VAT 292140376, environmental permit 80316.
These terms override any terms you send us unless agreed in writing.

Prices are as quoted and exclude VAT unless stated. Tipping charges are based on our weighbridge reading.
Extra charges can apply for undeclared or restricted items, overfilled or overweight containers, contaminated loads, extended hire, wasted journeys, waiting time and fines caused by you.
Account customers pay within agreed terms, otherwise 30 days. Everyone else pays at order or before tipping. Late payment may attract statutory interest.

3. Waste acceptance and your duty of care

Describe your waste accurately (EWC code where known) and meet your Duty of Care under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
Declare before delivery or collection: batteries, WEEE, mattresses, carpets, gas bottles, plasterboard, tyres, liquids, oils, paint, fridges and freezers, and any hazardous waste. These may be charged extra.
Not accepted: asbestos, clinical waste, chemicals, explosives, ammunition, flares, or anything our permit excludes, unless agreed in writing.
