Tour of GreenWaste Recovery’s high-diversion Materials Recovery Facility (MRF)

​Come learn more about where all the waste from Trellis Impact is processed for maximum diversion! GreenWaste’s San Jose Materials Recovery Facility was California’s first high-diversion organic waste processing facility. You’ll walk through our single-stream MRF, which takes residential and commercial mixed recyclables and separates them into individual commodities, including cardboard, glass, aluminum, and a variety of plastics. These materials are baled and sent to processors to create new products.
