Have you ever wondered what happens to your recycling after you throw it away?

Your mixed recycling goes on quite the journey. Once collected from your site, your mixed recycling is sent to a Materials Reclamation Facility (MRF). There are many variants of the “R“ in MRF, some have it for recovery, some have it for re-use, some have it for recycling. You get the gist! Read more about what happens to your recycling here.
