The world is changing at an ever-increasing rate. But there also are things that always remain the same. One of the most important of these is protecting the environment. And if you’re running a business, another one is not wasting your money.

The Waste Management and Research Center has been providing assistance to Illinois businesses and the public since 1985. WMRC is a non-regulatory service organization affiliated with the University of Illinois and is a division of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. WMRC has staff located in Champaign, Oak Brook, Peoria, Springfield, and Brighton.

Institutions both large and small are realizing that the environment and economic health are not competitors but are actually a great partnership. Recognition of this relationship is the key to success in the coming decades. Through WMRC's efforts, Illinois businesses can become more efficient and competitive. Improving the economic climate while protecting natural resources makes Illinois a better place to live, a role that WMRC has taken on since its beginning.

WMRC also has always had educational outreach as part of its mission. The Center will continue to find new ways to educate young and old alike about how science and nature can work together.

WMRC's staff is committed to providing real world solutions to real world problems.
