Des Moines County Regional Solid Waste Commission
The Des Moines County Regional Solid Waste Commission, established in October 1990, is an intergovernmental agency dedicated to providing environmentally sound and fiscally responsible solid waste disposal and resource recovery services for Southeast Iowa communities. It operates key facilities, including the Area Recyclers in Burlington, the Des Moines County Regional Landfill, and the HazChem Center in West Burlington.
The commission serves multiple communities, offering a range of services such as landfill disposal, recycling, e-waste handling, and household hazardous waste disposal. Each year, the Area Recyclers facility processes approximately 3,000 tons of recyclable materials, contributing to the region's sustainability efforts. Generated from the website
