MRF Tours Available
Learn more about recyclables and recycling in
central Vermont by visiting the RCSWD MRF. Staff from the Rutland
County Solid Waste District and Casella Waste Management will conduct
tours of the MRF for school, scout groups, community organizations,
and other interested groups.
The tour of the facility
takes about an hour. It starts with viewing an educational
video about recycling, waste reduction and how recyclables
move through the facility. The video is followed by a walk-through
where visitors see firsthand the sorting process, material
baling and truck loading and weighing. Along the way, we discuss
what happens to the recyclables after they leave the MRF,
what kinds of products are made from these materials and how
to “get in the loop” and buy recycled products
to keep recycling sustainable.
