Now is an exciting time to join our team as we are continuing to innovate ourselves to move towards a more circular economy – a way in which society recirculates materials to keep them in use for longer through reuse, repair, remanufacture and designing out waste from our system.

This means that we are extracting fewer raw/virgin materials, reducing pollution and our impacts on the natural environment. WLWA is working together in partnership with the boroughs and have also adopted a net-zero emission target. We’ve been strengthening and widening our support to the Boroughs on sustainability as a whole not just waste.
