West London Waste Authority

Strategy

Most countries have a national waste strategy.  In the UK there are strategies for dealing with waste in England, Scotland and Wales.

Each strategy is different but usually includes information on: key issues; performance; and the government’s future focus.

The majority of new Environmental legislation in the UK is based on European Commission regulations or directives.  Find out about waste in Europe.
