Join us for a special guided tour at Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery’s Materials Recovery Facility (MRF).

This exclusive behind-the-scenes tour takes you through the full journey of your sorted materials. You will see how your everyday efforts make a big impact as materials are collected, processed, and recovered. You will also learn why some items can be recycled while others cannot.

This two-hour guided experience begins at our Education Center. Guests will tour key areas of the facility as a group, with opportunities to observe operations and learn directly from our team.
