Link to book half way down a page of very wordy text, and it's very annoying that I have to create an online account to do it

Tried to search for sofa as i wanted to get one collected but no results. Tried waste and got http://www.ealing.gov.uk/info/200489/recycling_rubbish_and_waste link was there but i didn't look on the right.
Google search for sofa colection ealing very good.
How do i request was the bottom link, maybe abutton at the top for request a collection online now would have been better?
Online form seamed good and easy to use.

Page is easy to understand and informative. One improvement on wording may be to put "Up to 3 items for £16" as a member of the public may think you need the specific number when it could be anything up to this.

Form doesn't take payment. The costings were quite confusing. Bit that actually allows you to book is right at the bottom of the page. Items that can be collected is not that

From home page you need to know that you need to select Environment. Whilst I know that this is what this service is under, a member of the public may not.

No form to be completed: telephone booking only.

I was able to easily find it when I looked under Environment, but I had to think to look under Environment.

I had to login to book collection. I have not logged in as yet

The first part of the page was very readable, but it was sadly let down by the very long list of what you can put out, which would have been better as a shorter list of 'such as...' items; it would also have been good to have had a list of examples of the kinds of things which are not collected.
