Recovering steel is easier. Just have a magnetized overhead conveyor to separate them. The steel is pulled away from everything else. Done.

Anything else though is tougher. Typically people would be employed to sort through it. I did that for a little while and it freaking sucks.

If certains clients are shit at sorting at home we won’t even take the recycle bin to the recycling center. Just right to landfill.
