Mid-Valley Recycling is proud to celebrate the successful grand reopening of our Fresno Material Recovery Facility (MRF), marking the completion of a transformational investment in the future of recycling throughout the Central Valley.
The more than $12 million facility upgrade introduced a brand-new 25-ton-per-hour commercial processing line, incorporating advanced automation, artificial intelligence, and enhanced sorting technology designed to increase recovery rates, improve operational efficiency, and support long-term sustainability goals.
To commemorate this milestone, Mid-Valley Recycling hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by local leaders, industry partners, government representatives, and community members. The event showcased the significant impact this investment will have on recycling infrastructure throughout the region and highlighted our commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation.
The project has attracted attention from both industry publications and regional news organizations, recognizing the facility as one of the most advanced recycling operations of its kind in California. Coverage highlighted the integration of AI-powered sorting technology, the partnership between Mid-Valley Recycling and leading industry innovators, and the positive impact the upgraded facility will have on waste diversion and resource recovery efforts.
We are honored to have our investment and vision featured by several respected organizations and media outlets, including:
