Materials Recovery Facility Open Day

The Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) is where all our community’s yellow lid recycling is sorted for processing and it’s also a hands-on learning hub perfect for schools, TAFE and university groups, businesses, and the wider community.

We’re giving the education space a fresh new look to make learning about recycling even better, and we’d love for you to come and check it out on Saturday 3 October from 8am – 12pm.

Take a behind the scenes tour, meet the team, ask questions and learn what happens to your recycling!

Bookings essential

The winning artworks from NQROC Regional Recycled Art Competition are now on display at the Materials Recovery Facility in Townsville, connecting local creativity with real‑world recycling principles.
