Accessibility Statement for Tomys Waste

Tomys Waste is committed to making our services accessible to everyone in the Tomys Waste area. This accessibility statement explains the steps we take to improve accessibility, the standards we aim to meet, and how our site and services support people with a wide range of needs. We focus on inclusive design practices and continual improvements across web and service touchpoints.

We strive for conformance with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines to ensure pages, documents, and interactive tools are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. Our approach includes semantic HTML, proper heading structure, and clear language to help users navigate content about Tomys Waste services and local waste management information in the Tomys Waste area.

We have implemented features to support screen-reader users, including ARIA landmarks, descriptive link text, and meaningful alt text for images. Where complex charts or diagrams appear, we provide text alternatives and summaries so that assistive technologies can convey the same information. Our content editors are trained to write accessible copy and to check that dynamic content updates are announced to screen readers.

Core accessibility features include keyboard navigation and visible focus indicators to ensure that users can interact with controls without a mouse. We test tab order and keyboard operability on common user flows for scheduling collections, viewing service updates, and managing local waste reports in the TomysWaste portal. Interactive forms are labeled clearly and include helpful error messages to support completion.

Key accessibility supports include:

• Keyboard navigation across menus, forms, and interactive widgets;
• Screen-reader compatibility with ARIA roles and live region updates;
• Contrast and scalable text to meet WCAG 2.1 AA color contrast requirements;
• Clear headings and landmark regions to make scanning content easier for all users.

We also monitor compatibility with assistive technologies and major screen-readers, updating our codebase and stylesheets to maintain support. Regular accessibility testing includes automated scans, manual checks, and user testing where possible to catch regressions and gaps in experience.

Accessibility is embedded in our content lifecycle: creation, review, and publishing. Content contributors are guided to use plain language, descriptive links, and structural markup. Multimedia is accompanied by captions, transcripts, and audio descriptions when feasible to make video and audio resources usable for diverse audiences in the Tomys Waste area.

We recognize that not all content may yet meet our accessibility goals. If you encounter barriers, need information in an alternative format, or require assistance using our waste services, please contact us using the accessibility request form available in your account or through the support channels you normally use. Our accessibility team will respond and work with you to provide the information or service you need in an accessible format.

Continuous improvement is central to our accessibility program. We maintain an internal roadmap for remediations, prioritize fixes that impact the most users, and publish updates when significant accessibility improvements are made. By working with users, specialists, and the community in the Tomys Waste area, we aim to deliver an inclusive experience across all touchpoints and service interactions.
