An on-site review from the IWRC is free, confidential, and non-regulatory. Small businesses that request in-depth assistance from the IWRC receive an on-site visit from one of the IWRC's waste reduction professionals. During the visit, the IWRC staff member tours the facility and learns about the company's operations and current waste management practices. Once the visit is complete, the staff member prepares a report within four weeks, reviewing the relevant regulations and identifying pollution prevention opportunities. The report is confidential and provided only to the business. Shortly thereafter, the client receives an evaluation form to rate the IWRC services. Six months later, the client receives a follow-up phone call to ask about implementation of IWRC's recommendations and if any additional assistance is desired.

The IWRC services enable Iowa small businesses to keep abreast of environmental requirements, as many cannot afford to hire environmental consultants and most do not have the time and resources to monitor environmental regulatory changes that directly affect the business's operations and practices.

IWRC's on-site review service is a terrific opportunity for small businesses. IWRC can supply you with the necessary information to obtain and maintain regulatory compliance, avoid penalties and fines, reduce material waste, and possibly save your business time and money. You would get all of these benefits-and it wouldn't cost your business a dime. It's a "no-lose" situation.

See the current map of on-site reviews. To date, the IWRC has conducted nearly 3,000 on-site reviews, and will focus on increasing the awareness of our program so even more Iowa businesses can benefit from our services.
