Material Recovery Facility
We use a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) to process our blue cart recyclables. The MRF processes the recycling from approximately 40,000 Winnipeg homes every weekday. It is owned by GFL Environmental Inc.
Approximately 90 percent of the MRF’s operation is automated. The remaining 10 percent is processed by employees. The employees work to remove unaccepted items during the sorting process.
It is important for residents to know what can and cannot be recycled. By putting only accepted items in your cart helps our machines run properly and keeps the employees that handle your recycling at the MRF safe.
