About North London Waste Authority (NLWA)
Our mission is to preserve resources and the environment for future generations. We serve two million residents in seven boroughs and run communications and engagement campaigns to help them reduce their rubbish and recycle more. We campaign for government and industry action to reduce unnecessary single-use items, encourage reuse and repair and promote effective recycling. We deliver an education programme at our new education centre in Edmonton and in schools across north London, helping students learn about sustainability, reduce waste and embed long-term environmental habits.
To help tackle the climate emergency and to prevent rubbish going to landfill, we are building the greenest Energy Recovery Facility in the country and modern recycling facilities at the Edmonton EcoPark, through the North London Heat and Power Project.
NLWA staff are employed by London Borough of Camden and benefit from Camden’s recruitment, pension, and HR policies.
