Behind the Scenes: Casella Springfield, MA MRF

Pushing the boundaries of recycling, our Springfield, MA facility processes 15,000 tons of recyclables each month. From book shredding to needle grinding, take a peek behind the scenes at the diverse materials that can now be put to a higher and better use. “Every time I hear people say that recycling isn’t true or is not happening, it’s very disheartening,” said Director of Operations Rachel Ashworth. “Some of the small things that we can do at home to recycle recoverable items can have such a large impact.”
