That may be what NY or some other places do, but here in NC, it goes into a hole in the ground (landfill). Sometimes, when it pays enough, the recyclables actually get recycled. The metals get recycled, but there's not a lot of money in that right now. The paper, plastic, and glass goes into the ground right now. The electronics may get shipped overseas. I haven't recycled any, so I haven't had the chance to inquire.
I think they might be polluting water in southeast Asia. I'll have to take some old junk in and ask around. Perhaps someone who doesn't care about management will tell me the truth.

I certainly hope that the electronics do not go in the beautiful NC ground.
They will pollute your groundwater.
