Where do the recyclables go?
Department of Public Works (DPW) crews pick up the recyclable materials from your bin or cart, dump them all into a collection truck and take them to a specially-designed Materials Recovery Facility or MRF. At the MRF, recyclable items are sorted by type, shredded or crushed, baled, and loaded onto tractor-trailer trucks to be shipped to factories or mills in order to be remanufactured.
