Tours at RIRRC

A special note to visitors: Please be aware that our Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) is undergoing a major renovation during fall 2011 and spring 2012.  Visitors will see heavy construction inside the MRF, making the experience different from previous visits.  Visitors desiring MRF-only tours may consider postponing or securing transportation for a full facility tour. The landfill portion of full facility tours remains the same.  Rest assured that our tour guides are prepared to tell you all about the exciting changes taking place, and how this project will help to boost recycling in the state of RI. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

If you and/or your group are looking for a unique experience, why not consider a visit to the Central Landfill in Johnston? Our landfill and recycling experts will guide you around the landfill complex to see first hand where your garbage goes after it leaves your curb. Next you will visit the Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) for an up-close look at how your recyclables are sorted and made ready for market. The tour takes about 90 minutes to complete.  We offer tours to groups providing their own bus or van transportation at 9:30 and 11:30, Monday through Friday, and at 9:30 on most Saturdays. We can provide transportation only on certain dates between April and October.  Click on the link below to schedule the tour that is right for you.
