The coppers probably easy enough to get most of it. The gold will mosty be thin bits on the circuitry and you’d need extensive work to remove it and process into a sellable product.
Most of them only take stuff for free. Unless you have a lot of high quality boards. I thought about doing it myself years ago but it wasn’t worth the investment and time for me even with me getting free appliance circuitry from work.
Once you have a 1000 circuit boards, it makes sense to extract it on your own. These sort of procedures scale well. The more circuit boards you have, the less time it takes per gram of gold.

True, but if you had 1000 circuit boards, i’ll bet you could find an interested buyer that knows how to do the complicated bits.

CodysLab on youtube has a series where he extracts gold from things, if anyone is interested. Yea it’s a lot of work.
Here is extracting gold from RAM
