I don't know if this is what happens to the things collected yesterday, but I saw a program on TV that showed a company that collects all electronic waste. They dismantle CRT TVs and monitors to take out the tube, then the guts along with other material is crushed. They have a means to separate the different metals as the crushed parts go along. They then melt the various metals into ingots. The crushed plastic can be recycled into new plastic parts.
