♻️ Iowa Recycling Works! 🌽

Every day, Iowa recycling programs recover valuable materials that could otherwise end up in the landfill.

💰 More than $95 million worth of recyclable materials are recovered or at risk of being lost each year—including paper, plastics, metals, and organics.

The good news? Iowa’s recycling systems are working. Many communities are also reducing contamination, helping create cleaner, higher-quality materials that can be returned to the marketplace.

Every bottle, box, can, and container recycled correctly helps keep resources in use and strengthens Iowa’s circular economy.

♻️ Recycle right. Recover resources. Keep Iowa’s materials working.
