The Iowa Recycling Directory is designed to assist those interested in locating recycling opportunities for materials they have available. The directory also provides some information about recycling of each commodity listed. In some categories, contact names are provided in the event users have questions. It probably goes without saying that if you plan to use this directory, you already understand the importance of recycling. Recycling diverts valuable resources from Iowa s landfills, and creates jobs and economic opportunities through new product markets.
Recycling also decreases the use of natural resources and energy.
Recycle Iowa Companies that collect, process, or are end-users of recyclable materials are searchable by commodity, county, company name, or Iowa Waste Exchange service area. It is very important to contact companies before delivering any materials to verify specifications, including price. The information in this directory was collected through a written survey questionnaire completed by the company or organization. The Land Quality and Waste Management Assistance Division, the Recycle Iowa office, and the Iowa Waste Exchange have made every effort to provide accurate and complete information. None of these organizations endorse or sponsor any of the businesses or organizations listed in this directory.
