WMRC Overview
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.
