About this Event
We’re excited to announce the return of our public visits to the MRF during Recycle Week! Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at what happens to your recycling after it’s collected from your doorstep. If you’re a resident of Bracknell Forest, Reading, or Wokingham Boroughs, and curious to see how thousands of tonnes of plastics, paper, metals, and cardboard are sorted, we’d love for you to visit!
