Have you wondered what happens to the recyclables in your yellow bin?
The contents of your yellow bin are taken to Visy’s Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Sydney. In the MRF the materials are separated so they can be turned into new products. Click on the link to visit Visy’s Virtual Material Recovery Facility to see what happens to your recyclables and to learn why it is important that only the rights things go into the yellow bin.
