South Tyne and Wear Waste Management Partnership
Overview
Over recent years, the way we've been able to dispose your household waste has changed.
Landfilling waste was a waste of money, wastes valuable resources, and above all has a damaging effect on our environment.
In 2007, South Tyne and Wear Waste Management Partnership agreed a twenty-year Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy (JMWMS).
The strategy covers how we will manage your rubbish between 2007 to 2027.
By working together, Gateshead, South Tyneside and Sunderland councils looked to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill sites every year and increase recycling.
