Recycling

Iowa's citizens, local governments, business and industry have proactively worked together to protect Iowa's environment by reducing waste, recycling, manufacturing recycled goods and buying recycled-content products. 

This cooperative effort has built an impressive recycling industry that creates and retains higher wage jobs and businesses.
