Who we are

About Iowa Waste Exchange

The Iowa Waste Exchange (IWE) is a free, non-regulatory program that helps Iowa businesses reduce waste, lower disposal costs and find practical reuse opportunities for surplus materials. We also help businesses and individuals locate and obtain reuseable or surplus materials at low or no cost. Whether you’re a manufacturer, small business, nonprofit or school, we provide customized guidance to help you minimize what goes to the landfill and maximize the value of the materials you already have.

While many people are searching for business waste disposal in Iowa, the Iowa Waste Exchange offers an alternative: connecting reusable materials with organizations that can put them to work.

The Iowa Waste Exchange program is designed to keep waste out of landfills and in production. Many businesses, organizations and even government entities dispose of reuseable waste or surplus materials, while many others seek low- or no-cost materials to reuse in their operations. Our representatives are available to help anyone who is looking to cut business waste disposal costs or materials purchasing costs while reducing waste in our landfills.
