North London Waste Authority (NLWA) is a London waste disposal authority with responsibility for disposal of waste in the North London boroughs of Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Islington, Waltham Forest
History[]
The waste authority was established on 1 April 1986 as a joint arrangement under part II of the Local Government Act 1985. It replaced the Greater London Council in part of north London. The establishment of joint committees for this purpose was voluntary. The boroughs could have become individual waste disposal authorities. Each was already, and continued to be, responsible for waste collection.
In 2012, French transnational company Veolia was forced to withdraw its tender for £4.7 billion worth of contracts with the authority after sustained local opposition due to its involvement in illegal Israeli settlements.[1] The campaign was supported by some Labour Party councillors and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign[2]
