How is that for a brief title made up of acronyms? WM is the trademarked logo for Waste Management. A MRF is a material recovery facility. In layman's terms it is a facility that sorts through and recovers recyclables from a single stream collection. All the recycling put into your bin and set out for WM to collect is loaded into one "garbage" truck. That truck will drive to the MRF be weighed on a truck scale and then will dump it's load. I can't wait to see it operational. The separation is highly automated. With coolest newest technology in place if everyone will do their part and set out their recyclables we can divert a lot of material from landfills.
