Greater London has a number of waste authorities, responsible for waste collection and disposal. There are four statutory joint waste authorities, as follows

  1. East London - Newham, Barking and Dagenham, Redbridge, Havering
  2. North London - Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Islington, Hackney, Haringey, Waltham Forest
  3. West London - Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Richmond
  4. Western Riverside - Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, Lambeth, Wandsworth.

The joint authorities are made up of councillors nominated from the borough councils. They are funded by a levy on the local authorities.

The other boroughs — that is to say the City of Westminster and the City of London along with Bexley, Bromley, Croydon, Greenwich, Kingston, Lewisham, Merton, Southwark, Sutton and Tower Hamlets — are independent waste authorties in their own right.

Prior to the abolition of the Greater London Council in 1986, it was the waste authority for Greater London. The ODPM have recently proposed, as part of other transfers of powers to the Greater London Authority, to give it a waste function.
