🧲♻️ SCOTTY’S SCIENCE FRIDAY: THE SCIENCE OF MAGNETIC SEPARATION

What happens to metal hiding in our everyday trash?

Powerful magnets are one tool used at the Municipal Waste Solutions facility to recover certain metals from the waste stream. As material moves through the processing system, magnetic separation pulls ferrous metals away from other materials so they can be recovered.

That means useful material gets another chance instead of being disposed of.

♻️ Smart technology at work in the MRF!

Optical sorters use high-speed sensors to identify different types of materials moving along the conveyor belt. Once identified, targeted bursts of air separate valuable recyclables from the waste stream.

It’s one of the ways modern technology helps recover more recyclable material, improve efficiency, and divert waste from landfills.
