MATERIAL RECLAIMATION FACILITY - MRF - How it works...

Household recycling waste is collected via the standard collection team usually on a bi-weekly basis. There is no need to pre-separate as the Material Reclamation Facility (MRF) can take all recyclable material and output high quality recycled material that is then sold back to industry.

This sorting system processes bags of domestic waste. On arrival, the bags are automatically opened. The material is then pre-sorted and led across a star screen or through a sorting drum, where the material is sorted on the basis of four different particle sizes. The recyclable materials are processed manually in three sorting lines and collected in storage conveyors. Magnet and Eddy Current separators make sure cans are removed. Recyclable material is compacted in the HBC balers. Material that cannot be recycled is compacted into containers by two presses and is then ready to be taken to the dump
