Solid Waste Alternatives Program Advisory Council New legislation intended to encourage responsible environmental management and solid waste disposal and to enhance efforts to promote environmental stewardship was passed during the 2008 legislative session. The legislation allows for a solid waste planning area to be designated an Environmental Management System (EMS) by demonstrating compliance with a set of solid waste reduction and environmentally conscience activities. To oversee these activities, the legislation calls for the establishment of the Solid Waste Alternatives Program Advisory Council. The Council includes nine members, appointed by the Director of the Department of Natural Resources, responsible for making recommendations for EMS designation and funding allocations. This website has been provided to allow for access to Council activities and program development. For more information regarding the State of Iowa’s current solid waste management policies and programs please see the Department’s white paper titled “Argument for Change, Vision for the Future”.
