Recycling

The Ogden Transfer Station is equipped with a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), which plays a key role in our recycling process. A MRF is a specialized plant where recyclable materials are sorted and prepared for processing. At our facility, we separate clean cardboard from mixed recyclables to maximize recycling efficiency. The clean cardboard is baled on-site and shipped directly to recycling mills, while the remaining recyclables are also baled and sent to a secondary facility for further sorting and processing.
