Wednesday, 9th July 2014, 7.00pm - Visit to Mansfield Materials Recovery Facility, Warren Way, Crown Farm Industrial Estate, Mansfield, NG19 0FL

A Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) is where recyclable materials that are collected from households are sorted into different types (e.g. plastics, cardboard, paper, metal) using a mixture of manual and automated methods. When the materials have been sorted they are sent to reprocessors and manufacturers where they are used to create new products.

Visits to the MRF include a pre-tour DVD, a tour of the working site, and practical ‘hands-on’ activities where possible.

We need to submit names prior to the visit, so please contact the Secretary to confirm your place.  Flat soled shoes are essential, but all other PPE will be provided.
