The GEL Materials Recycling Facility's (MRF's) serve as the processing center for recyclable material from Volusia, Flagler, Orange, Seminole and Duval counties curbside and commercial/business recycling programs. The MRF(s) also act as Buy Back Recycling Centers open to the public and business. The MRF(s) accept corrugated cardboard, newspaper, mixed paper products, plastic bottles, cans, and scrap metals. By recycling these items residents reduce the amount of trash going to the landfill, improve economic competitiveness and provide employment opportunities.
