Residuals & Resource Recovery Committee

The Residual and Resource Recovery Committee is made up of individuals from all across the water and wastewater sector. The Committee’s mission is to provide leadership and education for the management of residuals, biosolids, and other waste streams, and to promote the conservation and reuse of natural resources. Throughout the year the Committee helps plan the Core Conference and IWEA Annual Conference, organizes an event for the Wastewater Operators Challenge, and hosts a Lunch and Learn each Fall.
