Magnets are used for a couple reasons:
To separate ferrous materials from a stream of mixed types of material.
To inductively separate non-ferrous materials (like soda cans) from the same mixed stream.
Industrial ceramic magnets otherwise known as large rotating drum magnets, are used by the metal scrap and recycling industries. The magnets are used to separate and process metals. If you are looking to recycle one of these magnets you can find a company that uses them for recycling.
The Magnets are often used for the separation of metals in many of todays most common recycling applications such as automobile recycling, recycling of electrical goods, skip waste, domestic waste and in fact, wherever there is a need to separate ferrous and non-ferrous metals from other materials.

how can magnets be used to help with recycling
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.
you can use magnets to separate iron from sand.
Permanent magnets are used in food processing to remove metal fragments resulting from the manufacturing process. Magnets are also used in recycling centers to separate iron. A magnetic resonance imaging machine uses a magnet.
Industries such as recycling and mining use magnets to separate materials based on their magnetic properties. This method is effective for separating ferromagnetic materials like iron and steel from non-magnetic materials. Magnetism is exploited to pull out desired materials while leaving behind the ones that are not attracted to the magnet.
Separation out of ferromagnetic objects for recycling out of rubbish for landfill.
yes in someplaces
You can separate plastics by color to make it easier for recycling companies. You can also separate it by the types of plastics.
A magnet can sort the ferrousmetalse.g., iron and steel, from the feed stream.
