The Recycling Factory

Dear Mr. Smith,
I have found the solution to your problem. I have, in my possession, the facility's necessary to separate the four materials contained within your truck. First I will utilize my conveyor belt and magnetic separators to remove the steel cans from the pile. Then, using a water tank (1g/cm3), I will separate the  aluminum cans (2.7g/cm3) and soda bottles (1.4g/cm3)  from the remaining, and less dense milk jugs (0.95g/cm3). After that, the jumbled aluminum and soda cans will be put into a large tank of Concentrated Sugar Water (1.5g/cm3). The Aluminum cans, which are denser, will sink to the bottom of the tank where they will be collected. As for the soda bottles, they are less dense than the sugar water and will float to the surface where they will be skimmed off for collection.
Yours truly,
Connor
