Privacy Notice - Assisted Collections
The purpose of this Privacy Notice is to explain how and for what purposes we process your personal data. It applies to personal data that is processed electronically.
The Assisted Collection service is available to all residents over the age of 18 who need help moving their waste to the edge of their property for collection, providing they meet our eligibility criteria. Residents are able to complete an on-line self-service application form to receive this service, have an advocate or referrer complete the online self-referral form on their behalf providing that they have permission to do so or contact our Customer Service team who will complete the form with applicants over the phone.
The council will approve this application in most cases as part of its duty of care under the Equality Act 2010, but it reserves the right to request evidence to support eligibility to access the service as necessary. A risk assessment may be carried out for some collections.
