Titus MRF Services
About

AboutTitus.

Founded in 2001 by Mike Centers. Twenty-five years improving MRF systems for industrial operators globally.

About Us

Engineered by operators who run the floor.

At our core: a simple belief that recycling facilities deserve partners who understand the complexity, urgency, and operational demands of modern materials-recovery systems.

Engineers, electricians, fabricators, and field crews working under one roof. Every project finishes on time, on budget, with the line ready for the next shift.

We support MRFs, processors, municipalities, and OEMs with solutions that keep lines running, improve throughput, enhance safety, and reduce downtime.

Regulatory Risk & Compliance

We constantly monitor regulators, looking around the corner to ensure our customers are getting the latest in thinking. We are experts at navigating the arduous permitting that many states have in place.

Why we exist

Recycling facilities are under growing pressure to process more material, meet higher quality standards, and comply with evolving regulations, all while running safely and efficiently. We exist to help them meet that pressure with confidence.

Our work strengthens the recycling ecosystem, supports sustainable communities, and helps build a more resilient materials-recovery infrastructure for the future.

Our Legacy

From our first retrofit to full facility builds, our experts collaborate on every project to deliver the best solution, on time and on budget.

“We see a bright future supporting this industry, and our mission is to close the loop for every material collected for recycling.”
