/How is recycling sorted in the US?
The sorting process

Sorting begins with the removal of any non-recyclable items. A vibrating machines separates the cardboard and paper - different types of paper are sorted by hand and then baled. The remaining recyclables continue on another conveyor where steel cans are removed using magnets./
