Aluminium cans aren't magnetic
The cans are made from aluminium.
Aluminium and steel cans can be separated using a magnet, as steel is magnetic while aluminium is not. By running a magnet over a pile of cans, the steel cans will be attracted to the magnet while the aluminium cans will not, allowing for easy separation.
A recycling center can separate a mixture of metal cans using a magnetic separator. This machine uses magnets to attract and separate the metal cans from other materials in the mixture, such as plastic or paper. The metal cans are then further processed for recycling.
