Abstract
In general, recyclable items are separately discharged from households and then, hand-sorted into different types of valuables at materials recovery facilities (MRF). However, most of residues after hand-sorting are finally end up with landfill and/or incineration due to lack of separation technologies and economical reasons. In the present study, physical properties on recyclable items obtained from an MRF are investigated to improve the recovery of valuable items. The results of physical compositions based on the sizing tests are also presented.
