Cornwall Waste Action (CWA) is a key Community Waste Sector organisation, operating throughout Cornwall, working with a wide range of organisations to promote greater environmental awareness through the sustainable use of resources.
The organisation was established in 2002 as a ‘not for private profit company’ limited by guarantee, by a group of environmentalists and representatives from charitable organisations with the original purpose of finding community based solutions to Cornwall’s developing waste problems.
Our 2011 AGM was held on Wednesday 8 November at our office in Redruth. The following documents are available:
