ORGANIZATION’S PROFILE

North London Waste Authority 
(NLWA)

North London Waste Authority (NLWA) is a statutory public authority, committed to serving over two million north London residents in Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Islington, Waltham Forest.

NLWA’s work includes:

• Managing waste transportation and disposal on behalf of seven north London boroughs
• Managing recycling collected by our seven boroughs
• Promoting waste minimisation and recycling to preserve resources

Our aim is to preserve the resources and the environment today and for future generations. We are committed to innovation and careful planning to ensure we manage waste resources effectively and sustainably. We work with residents, schools and businesses to promote waste minimisation and recycling to preserve resources and reduce the amount of waste that has to be disposed of.

For the waste that cannot be recycled we manage this at Edmonton EcoPark in our energy from waste facility. The EcoPark has diverted 21 million tonnes of rubbish from landfill since 1971. It has served north London well, but now the facility needs updating to make sure we can keep treating north London’s rubbish for another 50 years, stop it being buried in the ground, and recover more energy from our waste. The North London Heat and Power Project is NLWAs redevelopment for the site which started construction in 2019 and includes a replacement energy recovery facility, facilities for recycling and a public reuse and recycling centre, opening the EcoPark for residents to take their waste to for the first time.
