1. When your recyclables arrive at the Materials Recovery Facility, they are dumped, or "tipped", onto the "tipping floor."
A Materials Recovery Facility is also called a MRF, pronounced "merf."
This MRF is a single-stream facility. That means that all the recyclables are mixed together – paper, glass, plastic, steel, aluminum, cardboard, and paperboard.
Dual-stream facilities tip paper in one place and the other materials in another.
