GFL Richmond/Urban Impact Tours and Seminar

GFL Richmond MRF, with its state-of-the-art container sorting facility and paper sorting facility, processes the source separated curbside, multi-family, and depot material collected in the Recycle BC program from around the province. Visitors will see the latest in sorting technology and how this world-class facility balances the inbound receipt of local curbside trucks, consolidated provincial loads, and local depot materials with the outbound shipment of processed commodities bound for domestic and overseas end markets.

Urban Impact MRF is another state-of-the-art sorting facility that processes single stream material for the Recycle BC program. Curbside and multi-family material that is collected across the province is either consolidated locally and brought to New Westminster or tipped directly at this MRF on a daily basis. With the addition of new machinery and equipment to help maximise sorting efficiencies, you will be able to see how paper and containers are separated into the different commodities that will be shipped for domestic and overseas end markets.
