Portsmouth Materials Recovery Facility

Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) separate dry mixed recyclables:

  • newspapers
  • magazines
  • plastic bottles
  • tins
  • cans

The materials are separated by type and baled up. They are sent to private companies for recycling.

Hampshire has two MRFs, in Portsmouth and Alton. The two facilities can handle up to 157,000 tonnes of recyclables every year.
