I believe aluminium is the best metal for recycling despite not being magnetic: because of how much electricity it takes to purify aluminium from bauxite, anything that lets you skip that process means you're 95% done.
Yeah, the production of aluminum requires something called the Bayer process which results in a waste product called "red mud" which isn't pleasant.
