Metro Waste Authority (MWA) helps central Iowans recycle and dispose of their waste through convenient and environmentally-friendly programs and services. We operate Metro Park East and Metro Park West landfills, the Regional Collection Center for Household Hazardous Waste, the Metro Compost Center, and the Metro Transfer Station. Our recycling programs, Curb It! and Compost It!, give residents the opportunity to recycle right at their curb. Our website is a great resource for anyone wanting to know how to properly dispose of just about anything, even reusable or hazardous items.
“My manager welcomes and encourages new ideas, yet helps me work through how best prioritize my workload. She provides help when I need it, yet allows me to work through problems on my own.”
“I am relatively new, but love that we serve a greater cause than a for-profit company. Little actions or services are so appreciated by residents and city staff.”
“I feel appreciated. There is no stress.”
