The image shows two large wheeled rubbish bins positioned on a paved area beside a wooden fence and a tall wooden gate. One bin is dark green with the number 115 painted in yellow on its side, and the other is orange with a black lid.

The paved surface has a dark stain or patch near the bins, and surrounding the paved area is a patch of soil with some small weeds or grass growing along the edge of the fence and gate.

In the image, a person wearing a blue shirt is seen placing electronic waste into a green wheeled rubbish bin, which is positioned outdoors on a paved driveway or courtyard area. The electronic waste includes a black desktop computer tower, a digital camera, a camcorder, and CDs, with some of the items stacked or leaning against the sides of the bin. The environment appears well-lit with natural daylight, and the focus is on the process of rubbish disposal, relevant to waste management services operating in bermondsey or nearby areas. Flat Clearance Bermondsey might be involved in handling such electronic waste removal as part of their rubbish collection services, ensuring safe and proper disposal of unwanted electronics. We operate a robust supplier audit programme for all contractors engaged in flat evacuation, household clearance and recycling services. Audits combine documentary checks with site visits and interviews, focusing on recruitment practices, wage records, working hours and accommodation where applicable. Our audit outcomes influence supplier onboarding and continuation: non-compliant partners receive corrective action plans, and persistent failure results in contract termination.

Key controls and expectations
