See Material Recycling in Action

CM Recycling welcomes schools, colleges and youth groups to our Kingston plant, where students see first-hand how end-of-life metals, vehicles and appliances are recovered, sorted and returned to productive use as recycled material.

Every visit is led by our team, links to the science, geography and social-studies curriculum, and leaves students with a clear understanding of why material recycling matters for Jamaica’s environment and economy.
