East London Waste Authority is one of the waste disposal authorities in London with responsibility for disposal of waste in the East London boroughs of London boroughs of Newham, Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge.
The waste authority was established on 1 April 1986 as a joint arrangement under part II of the Local Government Act 1985. It replaced the Greater London Council in part of northeast London. The establishment of joint committees for this purpose was voluntary. The boroughs could have become individual waste disposal authorities. Each was already, and continued to be, responsible for waste collection.
