Chair's Welcome

Chairman

The NLWA is looking for a new, 21st century solution to managing waste in the area.

We believe that a new approach that prioritises waste prevention, reuse, recycling and recovery over current disposal methods will enable us to manage our waste in the most affordable and environmentally friendly way we can.

This approach will not only help us reduce north London's carbon footprint but will enable us to offer residents the best possible solution for managing waste into the future.

Cllr Clyde Loakes - Chair of the NLWA

Our Aims

The North London Joint Waste Strategy set outs how the NLWA, in partnership with the 7 constituent boroughs, is going to manage waste up until 2020.

The strategy includes a comprehensive waste minimisation programme, a significant investment in recycling and composting and an enhanced role for technologies to enable the recovery of energy from waste.

Over coming years our aim for North London is to achieve:

  • A 50% recycling and composting rate by 2020

  • A reduction in the amount of waste sent to landfill to 35% (of 1995 amounts) by 2020
