The development of the City of Cape Towns Urban Waste Management Directorates Material Recovery Facility (MRF) at the Coastal Park landfill is underway, reports Cape {town} Etc .
MRFs are facilities that sort clean and dry recyclables for resale to enterprises that can use the materials. This facility demonstrates the Citys efforts to reduce garbage that ends up in landfills by making recycling more accessible to the public and conserving the environment.
The facility is outfitted with cutting-edge mechanical separation equipment, including a bag splitter, magnetic separator, screens, conveyors, and baling systems. When fully operational, the MRF is planned to sort up to 65 tonnes of recyclable material each day and create at least 100 new work opportunities, thereby contributing to the local economy.
The project also includes the construction of an eight-bay drop-off facility, giving nearby households a convenient place to dispose of builders rubble, mixed garbage, garden waste, and recyclables that the MRF does not process.
The development also includes a training institute for waste management education.
