Processing Recyclables

After collection, recyclables have to be organized and processed to meet market requirements, which involves the process of properly cleaning, storing, and shipping the items.  These actions are usually performed in what is a called a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) or other similar type of facility or warehouse where there is ample room to prepare the recyclable items.  Below is an example of one of these facilities in Knoxville.  This facility accepts many grades of paper.  They sort and organize the paper and send it off to companies that will use the paper in making new products.
