Who we are
The North London Waste Authority (NLWA) is made up of seven north London boroughs (Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Islington and Waltham Forest).
Some 1.7million residents live in the NLWA area and we are responsible for the disposal of almost one million tonnes of waste every year. We need to work together to:
- achieve a 50% recycling rate by 2020
- reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill to 35% (of 1995 amounts) by 2020
We are working on one of the largest procurement projects in the UK today, which will deliver new waste infrastructure for north London.
