Best Answer

Some facilities sort by hand, others sort by machine. Most facilities sort by a combination of hand and machine.

Many different types of machines are used at one facility. One machine may pass material through a port which determines sizes, another machine may combine material with water to separate bouyant materials from dense, another machine may detect shapes and colors, etc.
