Our
Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy, approved on 21 June 2006, is a progressive and innovative approach to sustainable waste management. It sets out our priorities on waste minimisation and recycling and the use of the River Thames for the transportation of waste.
Working in co-operation with each other and the private and not-for-profit sectors, the Authority and its constituent councils will focus on the needs of its residents and local businesses. In so doing we will provide a sustainable waste management service that should set a precedent for future waste management developments in London.
The Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy, together with individual Action Plans produced by the constituent councils, will enable the Riverside Waste Partnership to work towards meeting and exceeding the recycling targets set by Government and the Mayor of London. These are contained in the Waste Strategy 2000 and the Mayor's Municipal Waste Management Strategy respectively.
