Covid-19
What are we doing about the virus?
We have taken precautions to reduce the risk of infection to
our colleagues and customers, in accordance with published
UK Government guidance and current World Health Organization
standard recommendations against the virus.
Awareness
In our attempt to reduce the risks and the spread of the virus,
we have continued to create an awareness among our staff and
customers of the current information on the prevention methods,
government recommendations, and steps to reduce the spread and
risks. This is a priority for us to educate and provide updated
information to everyone related to our business.
Information monitoring and implementation
Our company is always monitoring data and following the recommendations
of the UK government, the WHO, and the Centre for Disease Control
(CDC). Employee covid-related absenteeism is being tracked, as well
as the consequence of self-isolation after close contact. We are
again utilising the resources across the group flexibly to assist
our service delivery as needed due to high levels of absence.
Management and executive teams will continue to receive regular
reports.
Evaluating the situation
We are continuing to assess the potential consequences of any disruption
to our business operations, and while extensive and precise business
continuity plans have been prepared expressly for this case, we will
adjust our plans as the situation develops. This procedure includes
detecting potential dangers to our company and consumers, such as
the inability to carry out vital and necessary procedures. If this
happens, we'll work closely with customers to figure out the best way
to keep critical functions and processes running.
Our customers’ role in the COVID-19 situation
If you opt to employ Any London Waste collection service to dispose
of your trash, keep in mind that our workers are likely to be just
as concerned as you are about contracting COVID-19. Here are some
things you can take to reduce their hazards.
- Place all trash outside rather than inside your home to make it
as easy as feasible for them to collect it without having to
enter your property and go against social distance norms.
- If feasible, place any loose garbage in plastic bags that are
secured shut, especially if it includes equipment or objects
that you have handled with your sweat on them e.g. gloves or
masks.
- Break down large objects or exclude them entirely from the
collection so that we will only need to send a one-man crew
rather than a two-man crew in order to preserve our social
distance adherence.
The 72-hour rule
As part of our zero-contact service, we ask that all clients
grant us access to any waste that needs to be collected and
removed. If your waste is in the back of your building,
we will only collect it if there is an external way through
that allows us to access it without having to interact with
our customers or entering their homes, or if you give us
permission to enter your home.
If the waste is inside your home, we ask that you move the items
you want us to pick up to the front of your property before your
scheduled collection time. If you ask us to access your property,
we'll make sure our staff is properly equipped to prevent the
spread of COVID-19, as required by law.
