This Unboxing Christmas season, Mr. Murph 2.0 recycling facility is ready to process the increased volume of Green Country's holiday recyclables.
Mr. Murph's impact on Tulsa's recyclables cannot be overstated - it can process an impressive 53,000 pounds of recyclables per hour.” - Paul Ross, American Waste Control Vice-PresidentTULSA, OKLAHOMA, USA, December 26, 2023 /EINPresswire / -- This Unboxing Christmas season, Mr. Murph 2.0 recycling facility is ready to process the increased volume of Green Country's holiday recyclables. The State's first mixed recyclables processing facility is equipped with state-of-the-art AI Robotics and advanced Optical Sorters, makes it Oklahoma's most technologically advanced recycling facility.
Now that Christmas is over, the folks at American Waste Control are preparing their Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), AKA Mr. Murph 2.0, for its highest volume time of the year.
"Historically, the days after Christmas and New Years are our busiest time," says Robert Pickens, Vice President of Recycling for American Waste Control. "That's when all the gift-wrapping paper, cardboard boxes, and other recyclables from Christmas dinner starts coming in from across Tulsa."
American Waste Control encourages residents to recycle post-holiday recyclables instead of tossing them into the trash. Holiday packaging the company expects to see is non-metallic/non-foil gift wrapping paper, cardboard boxes, plastic bottles and containers with a screw-on cap or snap-on lid, aluminum and steel cans, holiday ads and magazines & catalogs, and non-metallic/non-glittery greeting cards & envelopes. Mr. Murph will also see all the recyclables they normally receive throughout the year. Recyclers can find a full list of accepted items at .
When you recycle with American Waste Control's Feed Mr. Murph program, 95% of the recyclables stay in Oklahoma. But even better, 100% of the recyclables processed stay in the United States. Keeping recyclables in Oklahoma is not only great for Oklahoma jobs and our economy but also make the Feed Mr. Murph program and our recyclers a great example of what can be accomplished together when recyclables are not sent overseas.
It is also important to note what Mr. Murph DOES NOT accept. Examples include – plastic gift wrapping, plastic bags of any kind or film plastics, Styrofoam, electronics (has a cord, runs on batteries, or winds up), batteries, live and artificial Christmas trees, Christmas lights (LED, Neon or regular bulb), clothing & linens, ribbons & bows, tinsel & ornaments, lights & bulbs, ceramic and aluminum foil items (foil, pans, trays).

The Feed Mr. Murph program, led American Waste Control to receive the 2023 Excellence in Recycling Public Education award from the National Waste & Recycling Association. The American Waste Control team continues to make appearances at local schools and other community events to educate and instill values of environmental stewardship in children and adults of all ages that will create a lasting impact on the community.
