Recycling Plant
Materials Recovery Facility (MRF)
At Dillon Waste, our state-of-the-art Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) is a cornerstone of our commitment to sustainable waste management and resource recovery. Strategically located in County Kerry, our MRF is the most advanced recycling facility in the region.
Advanced Sorting Technology
Our MRF features the latest recycling technologies, ensuring highly efficient and precise material recovery. Key components of our plant include:
- Ballistic separators to sort materials by size, shape, and density
- Tomra optical sorters for accurate identification and separation of plastics by polymer type and colour
- Magnets to extract ferrous metals like steel cans
- Eddy current separators for the recovery of non-ferrous metals, such as aluminium
- Quality control lines staffed by trained personnel to ensure outgoing materials meet strict export standards
What We Recover
Our facility separates and prepares a wide range of recyclable materials, including:
- Cardboard and paper
- Steel and aluminium cans
- Multiple grades of plastic, including PET, HDPE, and film plastics
We bale all recovered materials and send them to accredited reprocessors in Ireland and abroad, supporting global recycling efforts and reducing reliance on virgin resources.
Zero Waste to Landfill Commitment
Our MRF plays a vital role in supporting Dillon Waste’s zero waste to landfill policy. By capturing valuable resources and diverting them from landfill, we help close the loop in the waste cycle and actively support the development of a circular economy.
Innovation & Sustainability in Action
We continually invest in latest technology and training to meet today’s recycling challenges and stay ready for the evolving needs of tomorrow. The MRF exemplifies our long-term vision: to create a cleaner, greener, and more resource-efficient future for Kerry, Munster, and beyond.
