Materials Recovery Facility

A Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) is a specialized center where recyclable materials from households and businesses are sorted and prepared for reuse or processing. After collection, waste is transported to the MRF, where advanced machines and trained workers separate items like paper, plastic, metal, and glass. By sorting and cleaning these materials, the MRF ensures they can be efficiently recycled into new products, reducing landfill waste and conserving natural resources. Essentially, it acts as a crucial hub that transforms mixed waste into clean, valuable materials for manufacturing and sustainability efforts.
