The GFL Multi Material Recycling Campus in Toronto was awarded the 2022 NWRA Recycling Facility of the Year. The Campus is located on a 27-acre site that houses two single stream MRFs – 122 Arrow Road and 124 Arrow Road – that operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Both facilities are designed with state-of-the-art technology including elliptical fiber separation, optical sorting, fully-automated high-speed sorting robots and other mechanical separation processes. This design maximizes recovery, allows for a rapidly changing material composition, and supports the end production of high-quality processed recyclables. 122 Arrow Road was the first MRF developed at the Campus. It began operations in 2010, processing mainly commercial material, and has since upgraded its advanced single stream processing system. 124 Arrow Road was purpose-built in 2013 for the City of Toronto single stream processing contract, with excess capacity for future opportunities. A dedicated material composition analysis center is also located on site which facilitates the sorting and analysis of inbound and outbound material.
The Campus serves the material recovery needs of millions of municipal households, as well as industrial, commercial and institutional recycling services, and processes hundreds of thousands of tons of recyclables per year.
