Looking for large MRF operators

The September 2025 issue of Recycling Today will feature a map and list of the largest material recovery facilities (MRFs) in North America, and we need your help to ensure we have the most accurate data on which to base our rankings.

If you feel that one or more of your company’s MRFs belongs on the list, we ask that you please take a moment to provide your information. The information you provide will help our editors ensure the accuracy of our list; otherwise, we will use estimates we calculate with the help of industry sources. For reference, you can access our 2023 list.

Key figures we are asking for are the annual amount of outbound tons at your company’s facility as well as the total annual amount of gross tons of fiber shipped, as this will help us determine the largest MRFs that will be placed on the map and list.

A conclusive, estimated or calculated figure for 2024 is preferred. If a 2024 estimate for a newer or recently upgraded facility is provided, please let us know and we will note it as such on the list.

The agency operates a recycling plant in a facility originally designed to bale incoming materials. More recently, the building has undergone significant transformations centered around one machine: a SENNEBOGEN telehandler (telescopic handler).
