THE IOWA WASTE EXCHANGE (IWE) is one of the nation’s premier materials exchange programs. It is a free, non-regulatory and confidential service, with waste management professionals ready to provide individualized and expert waste management and business assistance resulting in both economic and environmental benefits. Since 1990 the IWE has matched more than 3.2 million tons of by-products and materials with groups interested in using or recycling those materials. Our team of representatives has over 90 years of combined experience in the waste management field. The IWE helps business and industry, schools, hospitals and communities save disposal costs and protect the environment by reducing, reusing and recycling materials that would otherwise end up in the landfill.

FREE CONSULTATIONThe IWE program is provided at no cost by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Contact the IWE Representative serving your area for assistance in assessing waste streams, identifying reuse and recycling opportunities, and expanding recycling efforts. The IWE can also assist in finding reusable materials for production processes and shipping needs. Our program works with all types of by-products and materials, including hazardous materials, whether the quantities generated are large or small. By diverting materials from the landfill, the IWE has saved almost $83 million in disposal and related costs.

NON-REGULATORY PROGRAMThe IWE is a confidential program, and does not conduct regulatory inspections or levy fines. When an IWE Representative is invited into a facility, our primary job is to provide waste management assistance by assessing waste streams and identifying reuse and recycling opportunities.
