The formerly named Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority (MWDA) is a statutory Waste Disposal Authority that manages the municipal solid waste produced in Merseyside, England. MWDA was established in 1986 following the abolition of Merseyside County Council, to undertake the waste disposal for local authorities across Merseyside – Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, Wirral and St Helens. MWDA takes a lead in advocating waste minimisation, recycling and the safe and effective disposal of waste for Merseyside’s residents and operates 14 Household Waste Recycling Centres. Veolia Environmental Services is the current contractor for the Authority's major waste services contract. The Authority's Revenue Budget for 2010/2011 was set at £70.9m and is funded by way of a levy on each of the Merseyside District Councils which is apportioned on a waste tonnage basis.〔(MRWA About us )〕 The Authority is also responsible for the aftercare of a number of closed landfill sites, which historically had been operated by the Authority or its predecessors. These include the former landfill sites at Bidston Moss and Sefton Meadows. MWDA is made up of nine elected Members representing the five constituent district councils in the Merseyside area and consists of five Labour councillors, three Liberal Democrat councillors and one Conservative councillor. As of Wednesday, December 7th, 2011, the MWDA was renamed the Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA) 〔(Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority )〕 and a new corporate logo with slogan "Merseyside ... A place where nothing is wasted" was introduced to replace the former corporate MWDA logo. ==See also== *Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
