About Us
We are England’s largest Waste Disposal Authority and provide a world class environmentally sustainable solution for Greater Manchester’s waste. We are responsible for dealing with the 1.1 million tonnes of waste produced each year, from the 1,009,815 households and resident population of over 2.27 million (AGMA 2009) in Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside and Trafford. This waste comes from council household waste collections and 21 Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) provided and serviced by the Authority. We handle around 5% of National Municipal waste.
