RATSBAG CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE AND USE


1. RATSBAG DELIVERY

We send our RATSBAG next working day as standard via our carefully selected third party couriers. If you place your order with RATSBAG before midday on Monday to Thursday you should receive your RATSBAG the very next day. Orders placed before midday on Friday will be delivered Monday; orders placed after midday on Friday will be delivered Tuesday. There is no courier service available for weekend.

We use a variety of different couriers depending on the delivery destination and although they strive to meet exacting delivery schedules, incidents do sometimes occur causing a delay so it can occasionally take longer.

Though delivery times cannot be guaranteed, we are proud that 99% of orders do arrive the next working day.

For all non-NJ orders it may take longer to receive your RATSBAG

2. TAKING CARE OF THE BAG

The RATSBAG is very strong but may be weakened if damaged. Check your bag after unpacking it and avoid puncturing or tearing it during use. Do not use the bag to dispose of sharp objects, hot ashes or anything that may penetrate it. The RATSBAG is a single trip bag and will not be replaced.

3. POSITIONING THE BAG
Do this before you start to fill it. You may not be able to move it later and any attempt to do so may result in you damaging the bag or hurting yourself.

Please bear in mind that the RATSBAG must be left within 13 feet of a public highway and that the driveway must be at least 13 feet wide to enable access for the truck.

Please also note that our trucks may not drive on to dirt roads due to the risk of damage or getting the truck stuck

It's important to be aware that your collection will be carried out by a large truck. Our standard fleet consists of 26 tonne vehicles, which are about the size of a fire engine. If you have any concerns about access, please contact us for full specification before you place your order as a handling fee may be applied if a collection fails due to access, or we have to collect via one of our specialist smaller vehicles.

The bag must be well clear of any walls, trees, parked cars, overhead wires or anything else that might obstruct the operation of the crane.

You should not place your RATSBAG on public highways or curbs without obtaining prior permission to do so from your local authority.

Should access to the bag be restricted, there may be a charge incurred to accommodate an alternative collection vehicle. Please contact us for more information.

Please Note: The RATSBAG is intended for the disposal of ordinary household, garden and builders’ waste only. The bag should not be used to dispose of hazardous or specialist wastes. Examples include asbestos, batteries, electrical goods, gas bottles, liquids, chemicals, sprung mattresses and clinical or food waste. These are more costly to recycle or dispose of so if we find any of the above in your bag, any surcharges will be passed onto you directly. You should also be aware that failure to declare these wastes or comply with this guidance may put you in breach of US environmental protection laws. For an exhaustive list of prohibited items or for further information regarding a particular waste stream, please contact us or refer to our Accepted & Prohibited Waste Streams fact sheet.

Due to EA legislation, plasterboard cannot be accepted if mixed with other waste streams. We can only collect plasterboard if it is segregated into it’s own RATSBAG. Please contact us on 
1-888-728-7224 if you have any questions regarding the waste in your bag.

5. CONTACTING US TO ARRANGE COLLECTION
We are open Monday to Friday between 8am and 6pm (excluding holidays); these hours may be extended during peak season. Be ready to tell us your unique collection ID (if you purchased your bag and collection through our website), if you’ve used a RATSBAG before, your contact details including a daytime telephone number, what’s in your RATSBAG, where your RATSBAG is located, how many RATSBAGs and what size are ready for collection, if your road is wide enough for our collection truck (at least 12 feet), if you think there may be any other access issues and finally, if you need to be there when we collect.

Our prepaid collection service is valid for 6 months from the date of purchase. The price paid at the time of purchase is valid throughout this timeframe. If you wish to arrange a collection after this time you may incur a surcharge. There are a handful of postcode areas we are unable to extend this prepaid offer to. For more information call us on 1-888-728-7224. RATSBAG will aim to collect your bag within 5 working days, starting from the day after your request. This may be extended during peak times (e.g. bank holidays) but we’ll always keep you posted.

Please note that the collection price will be confirmed at time of booking. Price variations may apply in some areas. If you have any concerns regarding your location please contact us before you purchase the bag and we will be able to confirm your collection price.

6. ALLOW ACCESS
Make sure that our collection representative can access the collection site at any time between 6am and 9pm seven days a week, even if nobody is there. Please note that we reserve the right to refuse collection if a bag is positioned beyond the reach of our vehicle, our truck would need to drive onto block paving, the crane operation is obstructed, our collection representative cannot gain access to the site, or if the bag is overloaded, overfilled, damaged or contains anything other than ordinary household, garden or builders’ waste (refer to ‘Filling the bag’ above).

Please advise staff at time of booking of any restrictions that may apply to the collection site e.g. red route network, no parking, no waiting etc.

If collection is unsuccessful for any of these reasons it will not be possible to issue you with a full refund. Please be aware that the RATSBAG fleet are costly to run so for this and environmental reasons we aim to keep mileage to a minimum.
