What is a dirty mrf?

Answer 1

A dirty MRF (Materials Recovery Facility) is a facility designed to process mixed municipal solid waste without extensive pre-sorting. It typically accepts waste that contains a variety of materials, including recyclables and non-recyclables, and uses mechanical and manual methods to separate valuable recyclables from the rest of the waste stream. The goal of a dirty MRF is to maximize recovery rates and divert materials from landfills, though the quality of the recovered materials may be lower compared to clean MRFs that process sorted recyclables.
