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.
