East London Joint Waste Plan

Joint Waste Plan (2012)

The Joint Waste Plan (2012) was produced in partnership with the four East London Waste Authority Boroughs - it sets out how we will deal with waste generated in the sub-region up to 2021. 

East London Joint Waste Plan review

We are now updating the East London Joint Waste Plan. The new East London Joint Waste Plan (JWP) is being prepared by the East London boroughs: Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Newham and Redbridge.

It is a statutory requirement to produce an up-to-date waste plan. The most recent East London Joint Waste Plan was adopted in 2012, and set out a planning strategy for waste until 2021. The emerging East London Joint Waste Plan will replace the 2012 East London Joint Waste Plan.

The draft East London Joint Waste Plan will set out the planning strategy for waste management in East London until 2041. 

A consultation on the first draft of the East London Joint Waste Plan (known formally as the Regulation 18 draft plan) runs from Monday 29th July 2024 to 11:59pm on Monday 16th September 2024. 

There are multiple ways you can get involved in the consultation. To see the consultation documents and find out more about ways to get involved in the consultation please visit the dedicated consultation webpage set up by the east London boroughs.
