While businesses are often overlooked for their role in proper waste management, Metro Waste Authority (MWA) recognizes their importance. MWA provides businesses with assistance on everything from recycling to properly disposing of hazardous and special waste. In fact, within MWA's central Iowa service area, more than 364,000 tons of recycled waste is generated by the businesses of our member communities each year.
