See for yourself
We believe the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) is the best classroom for recycling and diversion education. When possible, we open our doors to provide a glimpse into our sortation technology and operations, and have a variety of options based on your needs.
Tours and Workshops
Executive learning sessions and group tours are offered both virtually and in-person at our facilities across the country. We offer both virtual and in-person options for 1-20+ people.
Several of our locations allow visitors to view the recycling process in action. Our Brooklyn facility – showcasing the largest recycling facility in the country – is home to an interactive recycling museum and viewing deck for community groups, schools, government officials and the business community.
We partner with Closed Loop Partners’ Center for the Circular Economy to offer half day immersive circularity workshops, enabling corporate teams to go deeper on topics related to circularity, climate and sustainability. From material science to circular business models, our diverse curriculum caters to learners of all levels, empowering you to become a catalyst for a more circular future.
