WPWMA's Materials Recovery Facility (MRF)
When your trash, recycling, and green waste is picked up in western Placer County, it’s taken to our Materials Recycling Facility (MRF). In addition to the MRF, the WPWMA’s campus also has facilities for composting, construction and demolition materials recycling, a drop-off for hazardous household waste, and recycling drop-off.
