Modern Slavery Statement for Junk Clearance

Junk Clearance Ltd. and its affiliated operations recognise the responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chain. This statement outlines our approach to identifying, preventing and remediating risks associated with forced labour across our junk removal, waste management and clearance services. We publish this declaration to clearly communicate a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation in our junk-clearance operations.

We maintain a zero tolerance stance: no supplier, contractor, or employee engaged in our junk clearance services should benefit from forced labour, debt bondage, or human trafficking. All staff and partners are expected to uphold this principal. Our standards apply equally to on-site clearance teams, vehicle crews, sub-contractors and temporary workers. We insist on lawful working hours, freely given consent to work and fair remuneration for every person operating within our sphere of influence.

Our supply chain due diligence is continuous and evolving. We require suppliers to comply with our anti-slavery code and to demonstrate transparency in employment practices. Where risk is identified, we take proportionate action up to termination of contract. To make our expectations clear, we integrate anti-slavery clauses into procurement agreements and evaluate suppliers regularly against these criteria.

To verify compliance we conduct targeted supplier audits and site inspections across our junk removal networks. Audit measures include documented employment checks, review of payroll records, worker interviews and verification of subcontracting arrangements. Key audit steps include:

• Document review: verification of identity, contracts and payroll.
• On-site inspection: observation of working conditions and interviews with crew members.
• Contractor screening: assessment of third-party labour providers and recruitment practices.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels for concerns related to modern slavery in junk clearance and junk removal services. Reports may be raised internally through line managers, the compliance team or via anonymous reporting mechanisms. We guarantee protection from retaliation and will treat every report seriously, investigating promptly and confidentially. Employees and third parties are encouraged to report any suspicion of exploitation without delay.

All reports trigger a structured response protocol: initial assessment, investigation, remedial action and, where necessary, escalation to appropriate authorities. Remediation may include supporting affected individuals, terminating abusive contracts and collaborating with law enforcement. Our investigative process emphasises the welfare of potentially exploited workers while ensuring fair assessment of all parties involved in junk clearance operations.

We invest in regular training for employees and contractors to ensure awareness of modern slavery indicators and reporting obligations. Training modules are tailored to roles across our junk-clearance services, from depot staff to on-road crews and procurement officers. Staff are taught how to spot signs of coercion, forged documentation, unusual control of personal documents and indicators of exploitative recruitment.

Supplier engagement and contractual controls

We require all suppliers in the junk haulage and clearance supply chain to accept contractual terms that prohibit modern slavery. Contract clauses mandate compliance with labour laws, right-to-work checks and transparent recruitment fees policies. Non-compliance results in corrective action plans or termination. We also encourage suppliers to adopt equivalent policies within their own vendor networks.

We publicly commit to continuous improvement. Our compliance team regularly reviews risk assessments, audit findings and remediation outcomes to strengthen controls across junk disposal and clearance activities. Performance metrics and audit results are used to refine procurement criteria and prioritise high-risk supplier relationships. We believe proactive oversight reduces the likelihood of modern slavery in every stage of our operations.

An annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement is performed to measure effectiveness, update policies and respond to emerging risks within the waste management and junk clearance sectors. This review incorporates audit outcomes, training completion rates, reported incidents and remediation results. Where improvements are identified, we commit to timely implementation and to communicating changes to our workforce and supply partners.

Commitment — Junk Clearance remains committed to eradicating modern slavery in our business and supply chain. Through rigorous supplier audits, robust reporting channels, continuous training and an explicit zero-tolerance policy, we aim to ensure our junk removal and clearance services operate ethically and lawfully. This statement will be reviewed annually and updated to reflect our ongoing efforts to protect workers and uphold human rights.
