East London Consults Over Future Waste Strategy

The East London Waste Authority (ELWA) and the four east London Borough Councils of Barking & Dagenham, Havering, Newham and Redbridge are reviewing their long term waste management strategy.

In east London, the amount of biodegradable waste going to landfill sites needs to be reduced to fall into line with English and European law. If this doesnít happen, councils in the area could face multi-million pound fines with householders looking at an increase in council tax (or a reduction in other services). Recycling is already an effective way to divert waste away from landfill but we need to do more.
