In my country we have collection points for electronics similar to glass recycling. Vaccuum cleaner, TVs, radios, cables. Actually TVs are too big for the collection points. Those get shredded and any kind of metal is filtered and extracted, down to copper in a cable. I'm not sure it's cost effective, just something to get the recycling percentages higher. Retailers are required to take back electronics and use proper recycling channels. The drawback is automating it and afaik there's nothing special for chips yet.
