About Us
The South Central Iowa Solid Waste Agency (SCISWA) is a four-county inter-governmental unit serving Lucas, Marion, Monroe and Poweshiek Counties.The Agency area, which was formed in 1994, consists of 26 towns including Victor in Iowa County. The Counties and Cities in the Agency area joined forces so they could manage waste in the most effective and cost-efficient way possible and to better meet state and federal regulations.
The Agency landfill - formerly the Marion County Landfill - is located near Tracy, Iowa, on approximately 600 acres that once was the site of a strip coal mine.
SCISWA operates a Transfer station in Poweshiek County near Malcom where waste is collected and then hauled daily by semis to the landfill in Marion County.
The Board of Directors normally meets the second Wednesday of every month at the Landfill offices near Tracy at 9:00 am.
