ELI5: What Happens to "Non-recyclable" Materials When They're Mix Into a Recycling Bin?

Is it a 'big' problem?  Does it matter what material it is or if it's big or small?

A recycled material is sorted. After the truck picks up your recycling, it takes it to a transfer station. It's dumped onto a conveyer belt and passes several workers that pick out incorrect materials. Non recyclable materials go straight to the trash.
