Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority (MWDA) is a waste disposal authority that manages the municipal solid waste produced in Merseyside. The MWDA's budget comes from Council Tax payments in the region. The Authority's Revenue Budget for 2004/2005 was set in January 2004 at £38.36M. The Authority's budget is funded by way of a levy on each of the Merseyside District Councils and is apportioned on the basis of Council Tax base[1]. MWDA was established in 1986 following the abolition of the Merseyside County Council[2]. The current contractors for Merseyside's municipal waste is Mersey Waste Holdings Limited.
