The Iris team is professional
As a full-service Resource Recovery Program Management company, we view waste as a resource and use a team approach to design, implement and manage diversion programs. Mediocrity is unacceptable at Iris where we strive to deliver more than our clients expect.

Iris Waste Diversion Specialists was established out of a deep respect for the Earth and a desire to protect it through effective education and environmental programs. After working successfully with programs from grassroots to institutional, Iris set out to help others build programs focused on changing behavior to achieve sustainable outcomes.
The company name and logo symbolize the Greek Goddess of the rainbow, Iris. As the messenger of the Gods, and restorer of peace in nature, Iris symbolizes the important message we carry to protect the Earth and her life-giving resources.
Our Founding Female, Sarah Archer, launched Iris in 2004. As lead resultant, her diverse background includes sales and marketing, training and development, volunteer management, resource recovery education, and solid waste management. Her years of front-line experience in the resource recovery field as a municipal Environmental Education Coordinator, Coordinator of Waste and Recycling for the University of Michigan, and Environmental Programs Coordinator for Oakland County (MI), laid the inspiration and framework for the company.
Iris is a minority-owned, woman-owned small business, certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise through the Women’s Business Enterprise Council (WBENC), the nation’s largest third-party certifier of businesses owned and operated by women in the U.S.
