If you’re looking to terminate your contract with your current service provider, here are the general steps you can take:
1. Review Your Contract
Check the terms of your initial contract, including the duration and any termination clauses. Take note of the notice period required for termination.
2. Determine Notice Period
Identify the notice period specified in your contract. This can vary, but it’s commonly one quarter/month. Make sure to calculate the exact notice period you need to provide.
3. Payment Obligations
Determine if there are any outstanding payments or fees owed to the current service provider. Ensure that you settle any financial obligations according to the terms of your contract.
4. Submit a Written Notice
Draft a formal written notice of termination. Clearly state your intention to terminate the contract, the effective date of termination, and reference the specific clause in the contract that allows for termination.
5. Confirm Termination Process
If your new service provider, in this case, Hygenie, is willing to handle the termination process for you, confirm the details with them. Provide any necessary information or documentation required for a smooth transition.
6. Notify Current Service Provider
Send the termination notice to your current service provider. Make sure to follow any specific instructions outlined in your contract for delivering termination notices.
7. Coordinate with Hygenie
Work closely with Hygenie to facilitate the transition. Provide them with any necessary information from your current provider and ensure that they have the required permissions to handle the termination process on your behalf.
8. Follow Up
Follow up with both your current and new service providers to confirm that the termination has been processed and that the transition to the new provider is proceeding smoothly.
This is legally required to confirm to you as the producer of the waste that your waste has been taken away by a licenced waste carrier (please see our licence enclosed) and what happens to your waste.
It should have four sections:
A: The type of waste/Quantity/ Weight/EWC waste code and how many collections the note covers for the year.
B: Producer of the waste this will be your full name and address. You will need to sign as the producer and confirm that you have fulfilled your duty to apply the waste hierarchy, as required by regulation 12 of the waste (England and Wales) regulations 2011.
C: Company collecting the waste – That’s us and this is where all our information as the collector is put in, we will sign this as well and our full details will be put.
D: Address of place of transfer/collection point. This is where we take the waste to. As we are not a waste station and there is no exemption covering us to store waste on site, we must take the waste to a licenced clinical and waste station.
Please visit our sustainability page which shows the full waste route.
A consignment note must be completed to accompany hazardous waste when moved from any premises.
