Integrated design focus of regional MRF
In November 1993, construction began on a 1,020-tpd mixed waste materials recovery facility (MRF) that will serve the counties of Bladen, Cumberland, and Hoke in North Carolina. In addition to being a regional MRF, the facility has also drawn distinction because of the 900-tpd waste-to-energy (WTE) facility it will feed. The entire project is a unique combination of facilities creating an integrated system featuring recycling and energy recovery from waste. When fully operational, the MRF is expected to recover 25% of incoming waste for recycling. Because of the low capital costs of the project, the participating communities will have the lowest cost solution to recycling and waste disposal for many centuries to come.
