Facility Operations

A materials recovery facility (MRF) accepts materials, whether source separated or mixed, and separates, processes and stores them for later use as raw materials for remanufacturing and reprocessing. The main function of the MRF is to maximize the quantity of recyclables processed, while producing materials that will generate the highest possible revenues in the market.

First Recycling, LLC is responsible for the proper safe processing and marketing the sale of all recycling materials recovered and classified from MRF operations.

Operational Efficiency

FRLLC operational efficiency centers on the use of resources (labor and capital) in sorting and processing materials delivered to the MRF. Operational efficiency focuses mainly on reducing sorting and processing costs while still maintaining (or increasing) the desired output of materials.

Operational Effectiveness

As it applies to a MRF this can be equated to maintaining or improving the product quality of materials sold to markets. Often this translates to higher revenues, positive long-term relationships with markets, and a decreased potential for a reduction in market revenues or having materials rejected. Operational effectiveness can also be applied on a micro level within an operation. For example, training line workers to do a good job in sorting will improve the quality of the materials sent to the baler. This in turn will help improve the efficiencies in the baling operation with less time spent sorting contaminants out of materials being baled or having to re-bale materials due to the “dirtiness” of the end product.

Operational Adaptability

As it refers to the ability to adapt to changing customer or business needs. A good example would be from management testing and checking on the availability of markets for materials which pay a higher price versus markets that have a higher cost - lower yield.

MRF Staffing

Staffing of the MRF includes sorters and equipment operators, and we have the compromise to increase the number of employees per year, according to new challenges

Hiring qualified individuals to fill any of the sorter positions contributes to the overall strategic success of First Recycling. Each sorter, while employed, is hired to make a significant contributions by reducing the contamination ratio (by removing non-recyclables) and increasing the recycling rate from the hand sorted materials. In order to accomplish one of main goals (increase of incoming material).
