Take a trip out to Recorra's fantastic new facilities to see what happens after we fill up our recycle bins.

Here's Recorra's info about the site and what you'll see there -

All the materials we collect for recycling are transported back to our Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) in Essex. This enables us to sort recycling to the highest standards in-house, retaining quality in the recycling chain. In 2019, we invested over £2.5m in upgrading our MRF. We have installed optical sorting facilities, magnetic sorters, eddy currents and a ballastic separator to maximise the amount of recycling sorted. This upgrade makes ours the largest commercial MRF in London.

There are two tours taking place, click the links below to sign up for a time slot:
