Clearance Sucks — Modern Slavery Statement

Company logo overlay emphasising commitment to modern slavery preventionThis Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of Clearance Sucks to preventing slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery or human exploitation. This anti-slavery statement is aligned with our values and demonstrates how our modern slavery policy is applied across all functions.

We recognise that modern slavery risks can arise in different parts of our business and within the networks of suppliers and contractors we engage. Our slavery and human trafficking statement outlines responsibilities for senior management, procurement teams and staff who manage supplier relationships. We require clear evidence of lawful employment practices and truthful reporting from every tier of supply.

A collection of recyclable bottles and glass jars is arranged on a white surface, with a large green plastic container featuring a recycling symbol on the front holding various plastic bottles in shades of green, blue, and transparent, some with brightly coloured caps. In front of the green bin is a smaller, blue plastic basket containing more glass bottles and jars, including clear and green glass. To the right, a neat stack of newspapers or magazines is situated beside three additional glass bottles in yellow, green, and transparent colours, some of which are empty. The background is plain white, emphasizing the materials' arrangement and highlighting the context of waste segregation and recycling, aligning with rubbish removal services like those offered by Clearance Sucks and suitable for environmentally conscious disposal efforts in the local area around postcode context in the UK.Through this modern-slavery-policy communication, Clearance Sucks confirms that compliance measures are embedded in contracts and enforced by regular monitoring. Our zero tolerance approach includes immediate corrective action when allegations or findings arise and, where necessary, termination of relationships with suppliers who fail to remediate abuses.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We conduct risk-based due diligence and supplier audits to identify, assess and mitigate the risk of forced labour. Audits include document checks, site visits, and worker interviews. Our supplier assessment program is tiered and prioritises higher-risk geographies and sectors. Audits are followed by formal remediation plans and timelines where issues are found.

A large pile of mixed rubbish and debris situated on a paved outdoor area beside a residential building, likely part of a rubbish removal task by Clearance Sucks. The collection includes broken concrete blocks and bricks with rough, uneven surfaces, some with visible mortar joints, predominantly grey in colour. There are pieces of wood, such as long, weathered timber planks, and cardboard boxes, some flattened and torn, in shades of brown and beige. A blue plastic bag is partially visible among the debris, along with a white cloth or fabric draped over part of the waste. The pile appears haphazardly stacked, extending from the pavement to roughly waist height, with the surrounding environment featuring a residential wall with windows and a small garden area with shrubs and plants in the background. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight, indicating daytime, and depicts typical rubbish clearance activity in a UK suburban setting, possibly in or near a town with postcode inscribed, adhering to professional and factual visual description standards relevant to waste disposal services.Supplier assurance for Clearance Sucks combines desk-based evaluations with on-site verification. We use contractual clauses that require suppliers to comply with our modern slavery expectations and to allow scheduled or unannounced audits. Audit outcomes determine continued engagement, capacity building, or contract termination.

Key audit controls include:

  • Verification of working hours, pay records and recruitment processes
  • Checks for recruitment fees and third-party labour providers
  • Worker interviews conducted in languages they understand
  • Corrective action plans and follow-up reviews

Reporting Channels and Grievance Mechanisms

We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels to enable workers, suppliers and third parties to raise concerns about exploitation or unsafe conditions. Reports are investigated promptly and impartially by trained personnel. All reports receive acknowledgement and are tracked through to resolution. Retaliation against anyone who reports in good faith is strictly prohibited.

A waste collection operative dressed in high-visibility orange and blue safety clothing stands beside a large industrial rubbish compactor on a suburban street, with greenery and trees in the background. The worker, wearing a white safety helmet, is holding onto the side of the machine, which is fitted with a wide, cylindrical crushing mechanism and metal side panels that are slightly weathered. A black wheeled rubbish bin is positioned nearby, ready for collection, on the paved surface of the pavement. The scene appears to be during daylight hours, with natural light illuminating the area. The image reflects a professional rubbish removal operation, typical for waste clearance services such as those provided by Clearance Sucks, with a focus on street-based waste collection in a residential or commercial setting. The background includes leafy foliage that subtly emphasizes a local UK environment, possibly near a town in the postcode area of the report, supporting reliable rubbish management efforts.Reports can be submitted anonymously where permitted by law; however, we encourage openness to enable effective investigation. Our investigation procedures collect evidence, assess systemic causes and recommend remedial steps such as restitution, corrective training and policy amendments.

In a bright outdoor setting on a grassy area, a group of young volunteers wearing matching green t-shirts with a recycling symbol are participating in a community litter collection. Two women are prominently in the foreground; one is kneeling on the grass and holding a large black rubbish bag open, smiling at the camera, while the other is standing beside her, also smiling, as she places more disposed waste into the bag. The women's clothing features neutral tones, and their hair is long and dark. In the background, additional volunteers, also dressed in green t-shirts, can be seen actively gathering trash and placing it into black bin bags. The scene is well-lit with natural daylight, and the setting appears to be a park or open green space, suggesting a community clean-up event aimed at environmental preservation. The overall atmosphere emphasizes environmentally conscious activity and community engagement in waste management efforts.Annual Review and Continuous Improvement: Clearance Sucks performs an annual review of this anti-slavery statement and our modern slavery mitigation program. The review evaluates policy effectiveness, audit results, remediation outcomes and stakeholder feedback. We publish updates to reflect improved practices and evolving legal obligations. Continuous improvement is central to our slavery and human trafficking statement.

Commitments and Next Steps: Clearance Sucks will continue to strengthen supplier audits, enforce our zero-tolerance policy and maintain accessible reporting channels. Our annual review cycle ensures sustained attention and resource allocation to eliminate forced labour across our operations and supply chain.
