Sorting recyclables

Most of the process of separating recyclables was automated. Here's a cool video showing how it's done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6x1ZJcVLc8

It is so amazing, I never gave it a thought.

I used to work on a recycling truck about 24 years ago, and the facility we dumped at the sorting was done by hand. People would stand over a conveyor belt plucking plastic bottles or metal cans.
