We support keyboard navigation across all pages related to bulky item collection and the bulky waste collection area. Keyboard users can tab through interactive elements, use skip links to move to main content, and activate controls without a mouse. Focus indicators are visible and prominent to help users know where they are on the page.

Testing includes automated tools, manual audits, and user testing with people who have disabilities. Results are used to prioritise changes and ensure ongoing compliance with accessibility expectations.
