Materials Recovery Facilities

Materials recovery facilities sort and process recyclable materials like paper, metals, glass, and some plastics received from curbside or drop-off programs. Jobs often include equipment operation, conveyor and sorting work, quality inspection, maintenance, and logistics roles related to baling or preparing materials for shipment. Work is typically hands-on in an industrial recycling plant with shift work and ongoing safety training; some positions may require attention to hazards and basic compliance with site procedures.
