Snapshots of Sims’ Brooklyn Recycling Education Center

This gallery features photos from the Recycling Education Center at Sims Municipal Recycling's materials recovery facility in Sunset Park in Brooklyn, N.Y.

The Recycling Education Center at Sims Municipal Recycling's materials recovery facility (MRF) in Sunset Park in Brooklyn, N.Y., provides New York residents of all ages with a safe space to learn about how the city’s recyclables are processed.

“We had a lot of people asking us to come see where we process the city’s recyclables, but there was never a safe environment to have visitors come to our MRF,” says Sims Education and Administrative Coordinator Eadaoin Quinn. “We have now prepared a space that’s safe for people to come visit, and we are happy to show what we are doing here.”
