In: Other
Short answer: they don’t.
Long answer: they have teams of people and machines on a vast array of conveyor belts try to sort it. However, most of it(plastics) end up in the landfill or slips through. Which is part of the reason why other countries are refusing our recyclables. Like China which was 90% of the plastics recycling market.
