Our NEW Materials Recycling Facility

Leeds Recycling owns and operates a Xacre Recycling and Recovery Centre in Leeds. During 2009, Leeds Recycling invested £7million installing a cutting-edge Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) at our Recycling and Recovery Centre. The MRF has been designed to process a wide range of co-mingled office and commercial dry recyclables and works seamlessly to make recycling easy for our customers and their staff.

The MRF is largely automated to maximise efficiency and recovery rates. It employs state-of-the-art technology to recover a different material at every point of the process, generating fifteen different material streams for recycling. Leeds Recycling.

The plant is able to recover timber, cardboard, paper, plastic film, steel, aluminium and other metals and can also recover glass and rigid plastics as well as other specialist items.

It’s so important for our customers to know that their waste is being recycled effectively, legally and in a safe environment.  The plant utilises the existing equipment but in a way that has been configured to our precise specifications, enabling it to handle the higher throughput whilst delivering an excellent quality of sorted material.
