Accessibility statement

Disposal Manual is designed for readers who may be standing in a garage, checking rules on a phone, comparing fees at a facility, or trying to understand a city program before scheduling. Accessibility is part of that core use case.

Current accessibility practices

• Semantic page structure with headings, landmarks, navigation, article, and footer regions.
• Readable color contrast across the warm paper and civic green design system.
• Keyboard-accessible navigation links and form controls.
• Mobile-first layouts that avoid forcing the whole page wider than the screen.
• Comparison tables contained inside horizontal scrolling regions when needed.

Content accessibility

We use plain-language summaries, route comparisons, visible source sections, and review dates so readers can understand both the practical answer and the limits of the information.

Known constraints

Some disposal rules are inherently complex because cities use different billing, building-size, residency, and hazardous-waste criteria. We try to surface those constraints rather than hide them.

Ongoing improvements

As the site expands, accessibility checks should remain part of build QA: heading order, focus states, table behavior, mobile overflow, and readable link labels.
