Clean MRF
Clean MRF
A clean MRF accepts recyclable commingled materials that have already been separated at the source from municipal solid waste generated by either residential or commercial sources. There are a variety of clean MRFs. The most common are single stream where all recyclable material is mixed, or dual stream MRFs, where source-separated recyclables are delivered in a mixed container stream (typically glass,ferrous metal, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, PET [No.1] and HDPE [No.2] plastics) and a mixed paper stream (including OCC, ONP, OMG, Office packs, junk mail, etc.). Material is sorted to specifications, then baled, shredded, crushed, compacted, or otherwise prepared for shipment to market
