Yes. The local scrap yard near where I live buys electronic scrap. The stuff is fairly valuable and worth scrapping (Pic related). The prices I've got listed may vary depending on where you live. I believe the process is that they'll salvage whatever board components they can or outright sell the boards themselves to manufacturers and repair centers who will happily reuse the components thanks to the current state of global supply chains. It's one of the reasons hard drive and cellphone boards are valuable. They'll then ship off whatever is left to be melted down for the silicates, PMs, REEs and other metals.
