The Story of Mr. Murph
Our mascot Mr. Murph originates from our “Material Recovery Facility” or MRF. This is a facility where mixed recyclables are separated and sent to manufacturers to be made into products and packaging we all use every day. We’re happy to say, Mr. Murph was the very first of his kind in Oklahoma.
A MRF’s design is to separate mixed recyclables and hold each recyclable into a storage bunker for baling when full. A key part of what makes Mr. Murph so special is his automation. Quality Control personnel and artificial intelligence (AI) robots are positioned throughout the system to ensure non-recyclables items are removed to maintain the highest quality specifications. 95% of recyclables delivered to Mr. Murph stay in Oklahoma, supporting Oklahoma jobs and our economy.
