Towards a low waste north London
North London Waste Authority and its seven constituent boroughs have a clear ambition to deliver a cleaner, greener and more sustainable future for north London.
Our vision is to move towards a low waste north London and meet the challenges of the climate emergency.
We will manage north Londoners’ waste according to the waste hierarchy, prioritising waste reduction. We will maximise reuse, repair, recycling and use the most climate-friendly means of disposal possible for unavoidable waste. We will provide environmentally friendly, value-for-money services for our council tax payers.
The North London Joint Waste Strategy 2025-2040 forms the basis of how all eight authorities manage waste, and how we work together to deliver essential waste services in the best interests of north London’s residents.
The strategy is the result of an extensive development process, which included detailed analysis work and listening to thousands of residents over a two-phase engagement exercise, to ensure that their priorities are reflected in our activity.
By working together with communities, businesses, and government, we can build a more sustainable, resilient, and low-waste future for north London. This strategy marks a bold step forward in that journey.
