The Waste Collection Authority (WCA) is responsible for the collection of Household Waste in its area, see also Waste Disposal Authority.

In a 'two-tier' Local Authority administration, the Waste Collection Authority is the District Council and the Waste Disposal Authority is the County Council. In this situation the parties have to agree how material will be collected for the other party to treat and dispose of the waste, and financial recompense for more expensive collection approaches which benefit the Waste Disposal Authority. These are often acknowledged through the payment of Recycling Credits to the Waste Collection Authority.

In a 'single-tier' authority administration, such as a Metropolitan Borough or Unitary Authority, the Waste Collection Authority and Waste Disposal Authority are combined.

Formal Partnership arrangements between Local Authorities can vary in the level of integration of arrangements, from a simple working agreement through to a combined service delivery acting in the same way as a 'single-tier' authority. The collection of the waste and delivery of the day to day service itself can be by InHouse or OutSourced arrangements or by a LATCs organisation.

Local Authorities have been broken down into regional groups to make it easier to find an individual authority.
