Have you ever wondered what happens to the recyclables you put in your bin? They go to a material recovery facility (MRF) to be sorted. Learn about this step in the recycling process through a tour of the MRF that Chatham County uses. Solid Waste & Recycling is providing two free tours in June, transportation is included.

There are two tours scheduled in June:

• Wednesday, June 10 from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm
• Thursday, June 11 from 12:30 to 4:30 pm

The tour time includes travel time to and from the Solid Waste & Recycling Main Facility- 28 County Services Road, Pittsboro. All attendees must take the provided transportation.

The tour requires walking up and down narrow stairs and surfaces that may be slippery. Part of the visit will take place in a room, so if someone isn’t able to join in the walking portion it will still be informative.

To register for one of the tours, please complete the registration form by Wednesday, June 3. Registration is limited to 19 attendees per tour. You may register yourself and family/friends on one registration form.
