The Trips Committee announced a new excursion for Wednesday, Oct. 30, to the Material Recovery Facility in Yonkers.
This will be a free tour of the Westchester County government’s major recycling center. It includes an observation tower to view machinery that separates, sorts and prepares material to be sold, and the tipping floor where truckloads of recyclables are dropped off.
Participants will see a presentation and video on the benefits of recycling, and the Recycled Materials Art Gallery.
The MRF is closed to the public except for prescheduled group tours. This trip is jointly sponsored by the Trips and Recycling Committees.
This is a great opportunity to see how all the material we recycle is being handled.
